Ciara Reveals Why She Decided to Call It Quits with Future: ‘It’s Almost Like Your Taste Buds Change’

The singer said becoming a mother also shifted her relationship with the rapper

Ciara is reflecting on the moment she knew it was time to end things with her ex Future.

While appearing on the latest episode of the Call Her Daddy podcast, the “Level Up” singer, 37, explained that the realization crept up gradually.

“It’s almost like your taste buds change,” she told host Alex Cooper, per Entertainment Tonight. “You gotta also sometimes look in the mirror and reflect on yourself, like what are things that I could be doing differently in my life? I’m looking for a change but what does that mean?”

Ciara said becoming a mother also shifted things for her. She and Future — who began dating in 2012 and later got engaged — welcomed a son, Future Zahir, together in May 2014 before breaking up that same year.
