Video: Russell Wilson's Wife Ciara Finds Out She's Related to Yankee Icon Derek Jeter

Singer Ciara, who is married to Denver Broncos quarterback Russell Wilson, found out during an episode of PBS' Finding Your Roots that she is DNA cousins with Hall of Fame shortstop and New York Yankees legend Derek Jeter.

It's been an interesting few weeks for the family, to say the least, as Wilson found himself benched on Sunday and in a very public dispute with the Broncos over his contract.

In essence, Wilson said the team threatened to bench him weeks ago if he didn't remove the injury guarantees from his contract, setting up a showdown between the sides:

That normally would be enough to assume that Wilson's days in Denver are numbered. The issue in this case is that the Broncos would be on the hook for around $85 million in dead cap if they parted ways.

It's a weird situation, to say the least. Maybe he can talk about it with Jeter at Ciara's next family reunion.
