A Country Engagement Worth Remembering
Country music star Lainey Wilson is starting a new chapter in her life, as she recently announced her engagement to Devlin 'Duck' Hodges, a retired NFL quarterback. On February 12, 2025, the couple made their engagement official, revealing a diamond ring that's nothing short of spectacular. The pair shared joyful memories of a proposal that took place in a setting with country music roots, George Jones' former Franklin, Tennessee home, an area steeped in country music history.
The attention-grabbing part of this engagement wasn't just the setting but also the magnificent ring itself. Hodges presented the ring in a creative cowboy hat-shaped box, paying homage to Wilson's signature headwear. This clever nod to Wilson’s style garnered a lot of admiration from fans, who appreciated the personalized touch.
A Ring That's Hard to Miss
The diamond ring from Hodges has become the center of attention, not only for its brilliance but also for its humorously hefty size. Wilson, echoing a previous joke, showed fans how the ring's weight was enough to make her 'walk with a limp'. This playful twist on her previous wish for a substantial piece of jewelry added to the engagement news' charm and relatability.
Wilson and Hodges have been in a relationship since 2021, but they only officially introduced their love to the public in May 2023. Fans have been attentive to the couple's journey ever since. Wilson's song '4x4xU', dedicated to Hodges, hinted at her growing affection, fueling public curiosity about her personal life.
The proposal featured sentimental elements such as red roses, candles, and framed photos, making it a truly memorable occasion. The couple's story stirred delight among fans who praised the ring's elegance and the thoughtfulness behind each symbolic detail of the engagement setup.
As Wilson gears up for her much-anticipated world tour starting March 4, 2025, to promote her Grammy-nominated album *Whirlwind*, this engagement adds another exciting chapter to her personal and professional life. Fans worldwide are thrilled to see what this new phase brings and, of course, catching a glimpse of that unforgettable engagement ring.
