After four years of building a life together, country music sensation Lainey Wilson and former NFL quarterback Devlin “Duck” Hodges are officially engaged.
After months of speculation, Lainey Wilson finally put the rumors to rest—well, sort of. In true Lainey fashion, she flashed an engagement ring in a cheeky social media post that had fans buzzing. The top comment summed it up best: “Awe, he gave a rock to a rolling stone!” And honestly, we couldn’t have said it better ourselves.
Wilson, known for her down-to-earth personality and powerhouse vocals, has kept her relationship relatively private, but this latest update has her fans over the moon. The post, which you can check out here, has already racked up thousands of likes and comments, proving that country music’s reigning queen of cool knows how to make an announcement.
The couple’s love story began in 2021 when they met through mutual friends in Nashville. Their relationship became public when they made their red-carpet debut at the ACM Awards in May 2023.
Hodges, who earned the nickname “Duck” for his duck-calling skills, played for the Pittsburgh Steelers and the Los Angeles Rams before retiring from professional football in 2022. He has since transitioned into a career as a real estate agent in Tennessee.
Wilson, known for hits like “Watermelon Moonshine” and her role on the TV series “Yellowstone,” has often shared glimpses of their relationship, playfully teasing about an engagement in interviews over the past months.
The proposal was nothing short of romantic. Hodges presented the engagement ring in a cowboy hat box, setting the scene on a tan brick patio adorned with roses, candles, and photos capturing moments from their relationship. Wilson shared the joyous news on Instagram, captioning the moment with “4x4xU forever.”
As Lainey Wilson gears up for her “Whirlwind” world tour starting in Zurich on March 4 and concluding in Orlando on November 8, fans are eager to see how this new chapter will influence her music and performances.
