Ciara looks absolutely gorgeous on a spring-themed cover for ESSENCE Magazine’s May 2016 issue.

The songstress, who recently lit up social media with news of her engagement to Seattle Seahawks quarterback Russell Wilson, dished on her love life and what she was looking for in a man.

“I remember telling my friend the kind of guy I wanted: a God-fearing man with a very fun spirit who loves kids and would really, truly care for me. I was very specific because I do believe you can have it all.”

The May issue of ESSENCE Magazine hits newsstands on April 15.
