Country music star engaged to former NFL quarterback
Lainey Wilson and boyfriend Devlin Hodges are getting married.
The country music star posted the news on social media Wednesday evening.
Appropriately, the ring box was shaped like a tiny cowboy hat.
“4x4xU forever,” Wilson posted.
Hodges, a former quarterback for the Pittsburgh Steelers and the Rams, retired from football in 2022.
In the post, a picture showed the couple holding hands, then there was a close-up of the scene of the couple lying in front of the door, surrounded by candles and roses.
The couple also shared a kiss and another of Hodges holding a small cowboy hat while Wilson put her ring on display.
Wilson also shared a short clip of herself walking down the stairs and saying “boo” as she held up her hand in front of the camera.
Wilson and Hodges have been dating since 2021 and made their red-carpet debut at the ACM Awards in 2023.
In an interview with Billboard last year, Wilson said Hodges has been a steadfast supporter of her, both onstage and off.
“Thankfully, I have found a man that is so happy that he’s with a lady that can do her own thing. He’s just my cheerleader. He makes it real easy and it’s fun to be able to share this part of my life…”
