Ciara is not pregnant. The 29-year-old "I Bet" singer was rumored to be expecting a baby with boyfriend and Seattle Seahawks quarterback Russell Wilson after a viral photo showed Ciara sporting a larger than usual midsection.
Ciara is often showing off her toned physique which includes her six-pack abs; however, in the photo, the singer is seen sporting a burgeoning "baby bump" during a Las Vegas performance earlier this month. The singer called into the nationally syndicated "Russ Parr Morning Show" last week to deny the pregnancy rumors.
"You know, it's so funny. I might have had a cheeseburger a little too close to showtime," she explained. "What's funny is that I've learned after pregnancy your body changes differently. Listen, I can have a salad and it'll be like 'aww junk!' It [my stomach] was not that big, they exaggerated that ... I'm not carrying anything in my belly but great food."
Ciara added that she is sticking to a healthy diet and has not gained any weight, saying "There are other photos from that night where you see how it really was. I'm not carrying anything in my belly but good food."

The couple, who began dating earlier this year, made headlines this summer after revealing that they were abstaining from sex. In July, Wilson went on "The Rock Church" with San Diego pastor Miles McPherson and opened up about making the decision to remain abstinent until marriage.
"She was on tour, and I was looking at her in the mirror, and God spoke to me," Wilson told McPherson. "He said, 'I need you to lead her.' I told her, 'What would you do if we took all that 'extra stuff' off the table, and just did it Jesus' way?'"
"I knew God had brought me into her life to bless her and for her to bless me, and to bless so many people with the impact that she has and I have. We're not going to be perfect, by any means. But He's anointed both of us and He's calling for us to do something special," Wilson continued.
Ciara, who has a one-year-old son with ex-fiancé/rapper Future, told Page Six that she is confident in God's plans for her life.
"I feel very confident in the love that we have for each other, and only God knows where it's going to go," she shared "God knows everything that's to come in the future, and I think it's best to let him keep taking control of things. Life is sweet, and I'm very thankful for all the great things happening in my life. I'm very happy."
