Ciarais opening up about a recent change in her family’s dynamic.
In apreview for a new episodeofRuPaul‘s self-named talk show, Ciara, 33, revealed her parents Carlton and Jackie Harris have split.
“My parents were married for 33 years and they’re not together anymore,” Ciara said, fighting back tears.
“However, they are both happily married so it’s good,” Ciara explained, prompting the audience to erupt in applause.
While the “Level Up” singer is happy her parents have found love again, she shared their divorce was a “very out of body” experience for her.
“That was like, whoa, when that happened,” she added.
Ciara went on to reveal that her parents separated when she began dating now-husbandRussell Wilson.
Ciara and Russell’s relationship began in 2015, and they got married in 2016. They welcomed daughterSiennain 2017.

The emotional reveal comes just a few weeks after Ciara opened up aboutanother ended romance— her engagement toFuture.
The singer split from the rapper, 35, in 2014, just three months after the pair welcomed sonFuture.
Looking back, Ciara says that despite the fear that came with choosing to be a single mom, the course of action was the right one, as it relieved her of her greatest fear: wasting her life.

She continued, “The one thing I fear in life is really wasting my life. I really fear that ‘cause you realize that time does not stop, and it will be the worst scenario to stay in a situation that it’s just not healthy, it’s not going to get any better. I realized that I have to start making different decisions.”
Among those decisions was committing to ending her relationship, a choice Ciara said she wavered on for a long time before realizing she wasn’t getting what she wanted out of life.
“When I was thinking about my son, I know what I want to feel. I know the kind of love that I want for us,” she said. “What I did was – [son] Future was like my teddy bear. So I was like, we gon’ go. We ‘bout to do this thing together.”
