2025-03-01

Country music star Lainey Wilson and her longtime boyfriend, former NFL player Devlin “Duck” Hodges, are engaged. The couple announced the news on Instagram on February 12, 2025, with Wilson sharing a series of romantic photos and videos from the proposal. The post was captioned “4x4xU forever ❤️,” a nod to Wilson’s hit song “4x4xU” from her 2024 album Whirlwind.

The engagement photos showcased the couple standing on a porch surrounded by roses, candles, and framed pictures of their relationship. One image captured Wilson’s emotional reaction to the proposal, while another featured the couple sharing a kiss. Wilson also posted a playful video of herself flashing her engagement ring and saying, “boo,” as she walked down a staircase.

Wilson and Hodges, who began dating in 2021, made their red-carpet debut at the 2023 ACM Awards. Since then, Hodges has been a constant presence at Wilson’s side during major events, including the 2024 CMA Awards. Wilson has often praised Hodges for his unwavering support, calling him her “cheerleader” and crediting him with influencing her music.

The couple’s engagement comes as Wilson prepares for her Whirlwind World Tour, set to kick off in March 2025. The tour will span multiple continents, concluding in the U.S. in November.

No further details about the wedding plans have been disclosed, but fans and fellow celebrities have flooded the couple’s social media with congratulatory messages.
