Russell Wilson has announced that his dog Prince has died in a heartbreaking post on social media.
The Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback, who crashed out the NFL playoffs at the weekend at the hands of the Baltimore Ravens, shared the news with a picture of himself, his wife Ciara and Prince.
He wrote: ‘Prince 12 years ago you came into my life. I got you my rookie year & you have been a blessing to our family with so many memories, hugs and kisses from our 4 kids and us.
‘You will forever be a part of us. Today was a hard day. But you overcame cancer 2x and lived 12 years when most live 6.
‘Heaven got a good one! Forever the Prince of Peace. Love you.’
Wilson and Ciara started dating in 2015, three years after Wilson made the step into the NFL and got Prince.
