Ummm…can you say HOT?! Ciara and her new man, Russell Wilson, made their first official appearance as a couple at a very important event — the White House State Dinner —  on April 28. And they couldn’t have looked more perfect together!

Things are definitely heating up between Ciara, 29, and Russell Wilson, 26! The hot new duo attended the White House State Dinner together on April 28, and looked absolutely gorgeous together while posing for their first official photos as a couple.

Russell Wilson & Ciara PDA At White House Dinner: First Official Appearance

For the formal event, Ciara looked incredible in a champagne-colored, halter top gown, that hugged her curves and showed off her fabulous figure perfectly. The Seattle Seahawks quarterback looked quite dapper, himself, dressing up in a black tux for the evening.

The lovebirds were all smiles while getting cozy to pose for pictures, and were even photographed adorably holding hands as they walked into the event. It’s so great to see Ciara looking so happy, especially since she had a rough break up from ex-fiancee, Future, the father of her son, last August.

Ciara and Russell’s outing comes less than a week after news of their romance broke on April 24. “It’s still at the beginning stages and it’s very fresh,” E! reported at the time. “She thinks he is a complete gentleman and has really enjoyed hanging out with him these past few weeks. It’s constant laughter and fun with them.”

From these photos, we can certainly tell! So cute!

Russell Wilson & Ciara: What She Loves About Him

While things definitely look to be getting serious between these two, HollywoodLife.com has EXCLUSIVELY learned that the singer is hoping to take things slow…and Russell has obliged.

“Their relationship is brand new and Ciara is treading lightly because her main focus right now is her album and her ‘Juicy Man,’ which is the nickname she has for her son, who is the main reason for her day,” an insider told HollywoodLife.com EXCLUSIVELY. “Russell knows that is her focus and she loves that he isn’t rushing anything. Russell is grabbing her heart by taking things slow and just focusing on having fun and not getting in the way of her being a mother first.”

We totally love that Russell is on the same page as Ciara and taking her lead when it comes to the pace of the relationship. Seriously, could these two be any more perfect together?

Tell us, HollywoodLifers — what do you think of Ciara and Russell together?
