Ciara is sharing where she draws the line when it comes to men with lots of female friends.
In a new interview for The Zeze Millz Show, the singer, who was described as the “guru of relationships,” rated the red flags of a few hypothetical dating scenarios.
One of those hypotheticals included a man with “loads” of female friends.
"Well, I think that when someone's in a serious relationship, we can't be too turnt up with friends, not too turned up," Ciara said near the 14-minute, 10-second mark in the video linked above.
"I don't trip about, like, a guy having friends, but if it's a lot, I think that's a little concerning," she said. "So we're gonna give it a seven."
Although Millz thought the rating was “quite high,” Ciara also explained why ranking the situation is complicated and circumstantial.
"There's some guys that get along with girls really, like, well … A lot of my close friends are girls, but I do get along really well with guys. One of my closest friends since I was 14 years old, his name is Jasper, and he's like one of my closest boys, and we don't talk every day, but we talk all the time. Russ knows him, like, it's all good.
"So I think that the dynamics are important. How about that? So it's hard for me to rate that because it depends on the situation, right? If I'm cool with the girls, and I know, I feel good, it's like, OK. Like, sometimes guys just get along really well with girls."
She also noted practical realities, saying, "People sometimes in business they have to work with girls sometimes in business."
Ciara later added, "I mean, I think that when men are in serious relationships, they don't have tons of female friends they talk to every day. Now they may have a lot of acquaintances, and that's fine."
The singer began dating Russell Wilson in 2015 and tied the knot the following year. After welcoming a son, 11-year-old Future Zahir, with her ex Future, Ciara welcomed three children with Wilson, including 8-year-old Sienna Princess, 5-year-old Win Harrison, and 1-year-old Amora Princess.
As recently as last month, Ciara said Wilson is “always down” to have more children.
