Country Star Lainey Wilson and ‘Duck’ Hodges Fuel Engagement Rumors with Playful Instagram Exchange
People are buzzing about potential wedding bells for country star Lainey Wilson and former NFL quarterback Devlin Hodges. Fans have been keeping close tabs on their relationship, which has been going strong for four years.
The couple made their relationship public at the ACM Awards last year. They first met in Nashville two years before that through mutual friends. A fun night of dancing and drinks turned into something special.
Wilson joked about their relationship status recently. “I might need to propose to him since he hasn’t done it yet,” she told SCMP.
Showing off her outfit for the Grammy’s in an Instagram post, Lainey wrote, “Ponying up for Grammy Week.” To which Hodges replied, “Gosh dang (heart emoji) (flame emoji). This is what you look like in white?!”
Before meeting Wilson, Hodges played quarterback for Pittsburgh. He threw for just over a thousand yards during his NFL career. After going undrafted, he bounced around from Los Angeles to Ottawa trying to make it in pro football.
Their relationship has influenced her music – you can hear it in Wilson’s song “Counting Chickens.” These days, fans love watching them interact on social media.
Hodges is always there cheering on her music career, encouraging her to write songs about real love. His support has become a source of inspiration for her songwriting.
They’ve become regulars on the red carpet at major music events. While Wilson’s “Whirlwind” got a Grammy nod this year, Cowboy Carter ended up winning the award.
Social media went crazy when Jelly Roll’s wife, Bunnie Xo, hinted at wedding plans for Wilson and Hodges in 2025. Fans keep flooding their posts with messages of support.
