CiaraandRussell Wilsonare making power couple moves.

The grammy-winning artist and the NFL quarterback have had extraordinary success in their respective careers, but have focused the past few years on combining what they love and sharing them together through a number of joint business ventures. Ciara, 35, and Wilson, 32, spoke with PEOPLE to discuss the next steps they’re taking in their careers and the true reason behind them.

As a couple, they’ve teamed up over the past year to create their one-of-a-kind fragrance,R&C The Fragrance Duo, an entertainment production company, Why Not You Productions, and fashion house, The House of LR&C. Ciara says that even prior to being in each other’s lives, she and her husband have always had the same interests, noting that “diving into” these joint projects is a good combination of work and play.

“It’s always fun going to work, because I know I’m going to see him in that moment and we had those common interests at the base of everything that we’ve started,” the “Level Up” singer says. “I think about it all from a family legacy point. We hope we can do our best and leave a good legacy behind for our children, our children’s children, if I could say so. But it all definitely started from … we both had a common interest in everything that we’re doing.”

Wilson added that dabbling in the fashion world is something the two definitely have their eyes on in the business world, but in the meantime, they’ve started with something that’s more focused on impact and the ability to teach their children valuable lessons.

“We were so excited about the opportunity to impact and join all that on our missions and know that every time a box of diapers is purchased, in that same moment you provide for a family in need. I think we’ve got to help in any place we can,” Ciara says. “Being able to make a difference in someone’s life and their child’s life is pretty significant. Sometimes simple things can go a really long way.”

Wilson adds that “it’s amazing to see how much impact we can all have together,” while mentioning the values he wants to instill in his children like love, patience, respect and care.

“I hope that throughout their journey in life, and as they continue to get older, that they always feel like home is a safe place and that we can talk about everything that we need to talk about and you know that they know they will always have that in us and I think it’s so important,” she adds.

The singer continues, “He is just so active. Like hmm … I wonder where he gets that from. But I think the other thing I’m also looking forward to is a cake smash. I always love a good classic cake smash when a kid turns one. And so I have no doubt that Win is going to dive in. With Future, he kind of was like, ‘Oh I don’t know I want to smash the cake.’ But I think Win is gonna smash the cake.”
