Lainey Wilson did an interview with Jelly Roll's wife, Bunnie, who is also a good friend of hers. The interview was for CMT on New Year's Eve and Lainey let it slip that she is "waiting" for a proposal from her boyfriend, Devlin "Duck" Hodges.

Bunnie asks in the clip CMT posted to their Instagram, "Can we manifest something for 2025 together?" Lainey says, "You know I am all about that. I want to spend more time with you and Jelly. Me and Duck miss you all." Bunnie says, "We keep saying that I am manifesting for you and Duck to get married." Wilson turns her head as Bunnie says, "I'm putting that in the air. Duck, you better come up with it, baby. No pressure." Lainey quips, "No pressure. I might have to propose to him, we waiting." Bunnie says, "No, Duck's gonna do it. I can feel it." Lainey replies, "I like that."

In the same clip, the country superstar also reveals that the happiest moment she had in 2024 was when she was inducted into the Grand Ole Opry.

Wilson has had a monumental year in country music. She recently talked with People and expressed her appreciation.

She told People what she wants to maintain, "Making sure that I feel like Lainey: the sister, the friend, daughter, aunt, and dog mom and all of those things. As long as I can do that, I can be the best version of the artist that I try to be."

Lainey added, "It’s all huge things, I feel very blessed."

Wison also said that her Whirlwind album is aptly named, reflecting her career. She offered that "Country’s having its moment," and she's proud to be a part of the movement.

Lainey's recent "Wildflowers and Wild Horses Tour" to Las Vegas' MGM Grand was a full circle moment as she brought out Mae Estes and Tracy Lawrence. She said how cool it was to think that Lawrence was on her show bill. She recalled that he took her out on the road with him about three years ago, and she remembers that he stood side-stage, and "watched every single one of my performances."

In the same interview, Lainey noted that there was a "shift happening" for fellow female artists being talked about. he said there's the thing about the girls when they break through because it is so hard to break through, they can "stand the test of time."
