Ciara

Ciara was the captain of the cheerleading squad at Riverdale High School and made it known enthusiastically how she absolutely love the dancing, energy, and excitement that came with the activity. The R&B singer stated in an interview, “Unfortunately, I couldn’t be as involved as I wanted to be because it was a year when my music started to become even more important to me.” CiCi may have traded in her pom-poms, but at the end of the day she decided to focus solely on her music career and it eventually paid off big time. She and her husband Russell Wilson became part of Seattle Sounders FC’s ownership group in Major League Soccer in August 2019.
