Like Russell Wilson, we've fallen in love with Ciara for 7 specific (and sexy) reasons

Ciara has been around for a minute, so don't think were about to hit you with some oh-look-at-this-new-hot-girl-we-just-discovered nonsense.

Nope, not happening.

What we are here to talk about, however, is our newfound love/appreciation for Ciara, who's been crazy hot since Day One, but whose beauty, talent and coolness we (admittedly) have been underappreciating all these years.

So, what's different now? The look of love!

She seems so happy and so head-over-heels with her new boo Russell Wilson that we can't help but gawk. Every time they're together, we're just like, "#RelationshipGoals. Sigh."

In tribute to our (old) new bae, let's bask in her glow ... and slow clap for Russ, 'cause he's out here WINNING.

Leggggggggsssss for days. Lawdamercy.

She's the cutest mom -- with the cutest son.

Um, have you seen her dance?

Charity makes her even more beautiful.

She's a style muse who slays on the regular.

Even that lion is like, 'DAMN, BRO."

Her new motto is "Future who?"
