Watch: Ciara Gushes Over "My Baby" Russell Wilson

Ciara and Russell Wilson brought glitz, glamour and romance to 2016 Billboard Music Awards!

The engaged couple walked the carpet holding hands, and Ciara, who looked amazing in a silver chain Philipp Plein dress, couldn't help but gush a little over her hubby-to-be. "I love my baby!" she told E! News' Jason Kennedy exclusively. 

Ciara lit up when Jason brought up a few of her fiancé's recent social media posts documenting their family fun with her 2-year-old son Future. "He's always capturing cool moments," she said of Russell with a smile.
