In a revelation that left her astounded, singer Ciara discovered on the season premiere of PBS’ Finding Your Roots that she shares a distant familial connection with renowned MLB star Derek Jeter. The surprising revelation unfolded during the popular show’s latest episode on Tuesday (January 2), leaving Ciara in disbelief as she learned about a “long identical stretch of DNA on their 14th chromosome” connecting her to the baseball legend.
Upon hearing the news, Ciara exclaimed, “What in the world? You are kidding me. Derek Jeter! That’s crazy.” The unexpected connection was unveiled to Ciara and the world, showcasing the unpredictable and fascinating nature of familial ties.

Adding to the couple’s recent joy, Ciara and Russell welcomed their third child last month. Sharing the news on December 11, they posted a photo of their newborn, Amora Princess Wilson, weighing 9 lbs 1 oz, expressing their love for the newest addition to their family.
The revelation of Ciara’s familial connection with Derek Jeter follows her discreet pregnancy announcement in August, where she revealed her growing baby bump through an Instagram clip while enjoying a day poolside. The couple also shares six-year-old Sienna and three-year-old Win, while Ciara co-parents nine-year-old Future Zhair with her ex, Future.

Reflecting on her past relationship with Future during an interview with Women’s Health last year, Ciara credited the breakup in 2014 with bringing clarity to her life and career, emphasizing the importance of self-love and self-care in her journey forward.
