Country music star Lainey Wilson, 32, is engaged to former NFL quarterback Devlin “Duck” Hodges, 28, after four years of dating. The couple shared the news on Instagram on February 12, 2025, with Wilson posting a series of romantic photos and videos captioned, “4x4xU forever ❤️,” a nod to her hit song. The engagement took place outside George Jones’s $5.95 million manor in Franklin, Tennessee, where Hodges proposed with a ring presented in a cowboy hat box. The setting was adorned with roses, candles, and framed photos of the couple throughout their relationship.

Wilson, known for hits like “Heart Like a Truck” and “Wildflowers and Wild Horses,” first confirmed her relationship with Hodges in 2023 during a radio interview, revealing they had been together for two and a half years at the time. She praised Hodges for his support and understanding of her career, joking that she might have to propose to him if he didn’t act soon. Hodges, a former Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback, retired from professional football in 2022 and now works as a licensed real estate agent in Tennessee.

The couple met in Nashville in 2021 through mutual friends and kept their relationship private before making their red-carpet debut at the 2023 ACM Awards. Wilson’s upcoming world tour, set to begin in March 2025, will take her across Europe and the U.S., while Hodges has expressed his enthusiasm for traveling with her. Fans and celebrities alike have flooded social media with congratulations, celebrating the couple’s next chapter.
