She said she realized from her parents' relationship that she deserved more.

\"I had to take a couple of times to figure it out, but my dad's love is what saved me in all my situations, because it would get to a point where I was like, my dad wouldn't do this to my mom. This can't be love,\" she said.

\"I've always had the same goal of wanting to be loved a certain way, but I was just walking in the wrong direction,\" she added.

Elsewhere during the chat, Ciara also expressed gratitude to Wilson for accepting her for who she is and loving her the way she always wanted others to.

\"Me and my husband look at each other and I'm a better woman because of him, and he says he's a better man because of me,\" the \"Level Up\" singer said.

\"You need those roller-coaster rides. I believe in my journey happening in front of the world for a reason,\" she said.
