Ciara Opens Up About Ending Her Relationship With Future and More On ‘Red Table Talk’

On the latest episode of Red Table Talk, Ciara sat down with the matriarchs of the Pinkett-Smith family to explain the emotions that led to her split with Future in 2014, and how it helped her find the peace she feels today.

Although Ciara doesn’t mention the rapper by name, she recounts the moment she realized it was time for her to leave Future.

“I remember one time I was working out on the elliptical machine and I was just not sure about do I stay or what direction do I go? What’s the right thing to do? It’s easy to do this, but is the easy thing the right thing?” Ciara said.

She then explained how she took their son, Future, on several trips to solidify her confidence in walking away from the situation. This decision showed the singer that she had to commit to herself instead of others.

“…And I think if you sit in situations that are unhealthy or you let them linger too long you start to lose yourself. I don’t like crying all the time. I don’t like being sad. So I’m like, ‘how do I get out of this? Because I like being happy.'”

In addition to her past relationship, Ciara also expressed gratitude to Wilson for accepting her for who she is and loving her the way she always wanted others to.
