Seattle Seahawks quarterback Russell Wilson and entertainer Ciara Harris were at the White House for a state dinner with Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe.
He didn’t bring grandma this time.

Pop star Ciara Princess Harris accompanied Wilson in a sleek champagne gown. We aren’t sure if there was dancing involved, but Ciara’s dance moves are much different than Wilson’s grandma’s.
It’s one of the first public appearances for Wilson and Ciara, rumored to be a couple. The two were reportedly seen at a recent Mariners game keeping a low profile.

Wilson seemed to enjoy the state dinner, which featured cuisine from guest chef Masaharu Morimoto of TV’s “Iron Chef.”
“It was amazing,” Wilson told the Associated Press as the event wound down. Then again, if you follow his Facebook page, Wilson seems to say a lot of things are amazing.
The Associated Press, meanwhile, didn’t seem too impressed with Wilson, reporting the dinner “had a decidedly low celebrity quotient.”
Not to Seattleites. Or the tabloids.
