Country music star Lainey Wilson recently celebrated her engagement to former NFL player Devlin “Duck” Hodges. The joyful announcement was made on Wednesday, with Wilson sharing heartfelt photos and videos on Instagram that highlighted her stunning engagement ring. Her post was accompanied by the title of her love song “4x4xU,” which she dedicated to Hodges upon its release in October.
The enchanting proposal took place at a beautifully decorated location, adorned with red roses and candles, likely at the same stoop where Hodges popped the question using a playful cowboy hat-shaped ring box, reflecting Wilson’s signature style. Hodges, who retired from professional football after playing with the Los Angeles Rams in 2021, now works as a real estate agent in Memphis, focusing on land and recreational properties.
Lainey Wilson has openly expressed her excitement for a proposal, previously joking about wanting an engagement ring large enough to “walk with a limp.” This engagement marks a significant moment for the couple, who have been together since 2021 and made their relationship public earlier this year during the Academy of Country Music Awards.
Additionally, Wilson’s recent songwriting has been inspired by her relationship with Hodges, highlighting how she finally found material worth writing about. This engagement coincides with Wilson’s upcoming world tour, set to promote her Grammy-nominated album “Whirlwind,” starting March 4 in Zurich.
As fans eagerly await her tour, Wilson’s engagement adds a layer of excitement and joy, marking a beautiful new chapter in both her personal and professional life.
