In February, Wilson spoke to ET about his most important tips for keeping his marriage with Ciara strong.
"You got to keep it sexy, you got to keep it romantic, you got to constantly put each other first, and we have our date nights every Friday," Wilson told ET's Nischelle Turner. "We try to do our thing and have our one-on-one time and make sure that we spend that quality time doing something fun together. That's one key thing."
Wilson added that "communication is key. Just constantly communicating," he explains. "We're always talking, we're always loving on each other, making sure we're constantly asking how we're doing, this and that. We always want to make sure our souls are well…We're always focused on that."
"So, communication, keeping it sexy, and I think the third part of it is, as a man we got to keep competing," he cracks, before explaining himself. "We got to keep competing. I think that so many times as men, I think we get so settled down on, you know, 'OK, we're good. OK cool.' And I think that you got to keep that energy throughout every day, throughout every week and throughout because it's worth it. It's worth it, and I like winning."
