Lainey Wilson, the talented country music star, has been playfully teasing the idea of proposing to her boyfriend, Devlin 'Duck' Hodges. The speculation arose after Bunnie Xo expressed hopes for an engagement between Wilson and Hodges in 2025 during an interview for CMT. Wilson jokingly responded, 'I might have to propose to him. We waiting!' This banter is not new, as Wilson previously joked about taking matters into her own hands if Hodges didn't propose soon.
Wilson and Hodges went public with their relationship in May 2023 at the ACM Awards, revealing that they had been dating in secret for over two years. Despite the ongoing engagement jokes, Wilson clarified that they are not secretly engaged and emphasized the importance of timing for such a significant milestone in their lives.
Hodges, a former NFL player now working in real estate, has been a supportive presence in Wilson's life. Wilson expressed gratitude for his unwavering support, highlighting his role as one of her biggest cheerleaders. She values his encouragement, especially given the nature of her career in the music industry.
Reflecting on her achievements in 2024, Wilson shared her joy at being inducted into the Grand Ole Opry at the age of 32. She expressed contentment with her current path and optimism for the year ahead, stating, 'If 2025 is anything like 2024, it’s gonna be another hell of a ride.'
Most recently, Wilson performed at CBS' 'New Year’s Eve Live: Nashville’s Big Bash,' where she celebrated her successes and looked forward to the future with enthusiasm. With her career flourishing and a loving relationship by her side, Wilson is poised for more exciting milestones in the coming year.
