'Yellowstone' star Lainey Wilson 'completely shocked' by fiancé's proposal
While speaking with Fox News Digital on the red carpet at the ACM Awards, the "Watermelon Moonshine" singer gushed about her fiancé, Devlin "Duck" Hodges, saying she was "completely shocked" when he proposed.
"Completely shocked, but very excited that I've found me a man that's just easygoing," she said. "He is my biggest fan. He high-fives me on the way in the door and he high-fives me on the way out and that's all I can ask for."
The 32-year-old country music star announced her engagement to Hodges on Instagram in February 2025, sharing photos of her and her man in the moments after he got down on one knee.
Wilson and Hodges, a former NFL quarterback, made their relationship known to the public in May 2023 when they walked the red carpet together at the ACM Awards. She later admitted that they had been dating for two and a half years before making their public debut.
He is my biggest fan. He high-fives me on the way in the door and he high-fives me on the way out and that's all I can ask for.
In a video captured by News Channel 5 Nashville, Wilson can be heard saying she had a feeling he was going to propose but changed her mind after thinking, "Man, I sure would be upset if I talked myself into this and that don't happen." On the day of the proposal, the two had been planning to visit the George Jones estate.

"And then as we [pulled] up, I realized that there were different plans," Wilson said. "So, he had it all set up. He had the candles and the picture frames, and it could not have been more perfect."
The singer made her acting debut in the season five premiere of "Yellowstone," in November 2022, playing Abby, a musician who begins a relationship with Ryan, one of the hands at Dutton Ranch.
Wilson is now set to star in the upcoming movie adaptation of the Colleen Hoover novel, "Reminders of Him," telling Fox News Digital she is "excited" to step outside of her comfort zone in the movie.
"I'm getting to play a character that I've never done anything specifically like this," she explained. "I'm not a musician, which is fun and kind of pushing the boundaries, so we'll see what happens."
Her career in country music began over 13 years ago when she moved to Nashville from her small town in Louisiana. After years of hard work, Wilson broke out into the music industry with the release of her hit single, "Things a Man Oughta Know," which reached No. 1 on Billboard Country Airplay chart.

When speaking with Fox News Digital in May 2024, Wilson joked that her parents were "the ones to blame" for her strong work ethic and success, explaining "they have truly supported me from the beginning."
"I truly do think it is from being from a long line of farmers. I mean, on my mom's side and my daddy's side. They rolled their sleeves up. They got to work every single day and had good years and bad years, but at the end of the day, they loved it," she said.
Her hard work paid off, as she recently took home the entertainer of the year and female artist of the year awards at the ACM Awards for the second year in a row.

FIFA x fashion: ‘More than just a wardrobe'?
FIFA. Great at filling stadiums at summer club tournaments, great at picking World Cup hosts and great at sharing around its presidency to ensure fresh ideas and full accountability (three in the past 51 years). But what about fashion? Is football's global governing body any good at that? Is that a question you ever thought would be asked? Well, heck, we know Gianni Infantino can do fashion. IShowSpeed's new best mate is something of a pioneer actually, as anyone who witnessed his dashing hoodie suit last year can attest to. Infantino is wearing a suit-hoodie — Ollie Connolly (@OllieConnolly) February 4, 2024 Whether Infantino has personally overseen FIFA's new 1904 range is unclear, but what is abundantly obvious is that FIFA has put plenty of time and money into its 1904 range, which has been designed by fashion big dog Marcus Clayton, formerly of Louis Vuitton, Givenchy and Fenty (Rihanna's short-lived fashion line). Advertisement It was given a sparkly launch in Beverly Hills recently with glamour players such as former midfield clogger Dennis Wise and ex-Queens Park Rangers defender Marc Bircham in attendance. Oh, and for the avoidance of doubt, the number 1904 could be referring to the cost of a pair of FIFA pants, rather than the year football's world governing body was founded. This is being branded as luxury fashion and it is not cheap. You can expect to part with £117 ($158) for a hoodie, £109 for some joggers, £60 for a T-shirt and £49 for a cap. The Athletic has checked and despite the price points, none of the items contain melted gold or the DNA of Cristiano Ronaldo. Why so expensive? And are the clothes any good? The Athletic has no idea, so here's the expert opinion of former sportswear designer and now senior lecturer in sportswear design at Manchester Metropolitan University, Sarah Collins. She knows her onions. 'They've gone quite high-end in terms of sports wear,' Collins says. 'It's interesting where they've pitched it at market level; they're saying they're targeting the professional player and young professionals who can afford those price points.' While the full range will be released in autumn, the initial clothes and images certainly give a flavour of both the style and cost of FIFA 1904. The lead image on the range's website shows a chap with a hoodie underneath a jacket. Hey, maybe Infantino did oversee this after all. 'It's interesting they've taken a classic tailoring approach to the jacket and re-fabricated it in what looks like a sportswear fabric, a nylon or a polyester,' expert Collins says. 'It's the same for the women: a loose-fit, classic jumpsuit. It looks really quite smart and sophisticated, quite grown up. 'That's maybe a reflection of the way we dress today — we don't always dress in sportswear to go and do sports in, you might wear a graphic tee with a tailored jacket and there's that sort of mixing to create an identity that draws on different types of clothing.' Advertisement Elsewhere, there are navy, black and white T-shirts with a FIFA™ 1904 logo (don't forget the trademark, folks), which must be pretty good if they cost £61 each. Collins adds: 'It's a 'catch-all' wardrobe. What's quite interesting is the branding is on there because it's sportswear, but it's fairly minimal and understated. 'The actual styles they're chosen, the tees, the hoodies, they're all classic sportswear styles, but they've cut them quite loosely because that's maybe the fit that would appeal to people wearing these in a professional context rather than with their mates. 'The colour palette is blacks, blues and whites, meaning you could wear these pieces with the other pieces in the range, again meaning it's 'catch-all'. 'They're designed for longevity — you don't need to update the graphic tee every season of the year. They're saying it's an investment piece, the opposite of what you get in football when clubs want you to buy three or four new kits every year.' The FIFA blurb that accompanies the range is quite something. 'The modern uniform for the next generation of player,' FIFA says in conjunction with fashion label and retailer VFiles. A post shared by VFILES (@vfiles) 'More than just a wardrobe, FIFA 1904 imbues football's character and culture into expertly crafted garments that are both innovative and original. 'The laws of the game are the same for everyone, but it's what a player does with these constraints that defines their character. For FIFA 1904, character is playing the game with class and elegance while experimenting with the rules, breaking barriers and seizing opportunities, so that those who wear our garments can find their feet and discover their own style of play.' Come again? 'Every garment range 'promises' something,' Collins says. 'It could be improved performance, or an innovative approach, but it's really difficult to know exactly how innovative this range has been with its fabrications. Advertisement 'Some brands do actually innovate with fabrics and invest in the textiles. Whether it's true in this case, I don't know. Looking at the garments on the website, they are fairly standard fabrics in terms of cottons. If you look at the hoodie, for example, it says French Telly, which is a standard sportswear fabric. 'They do also mention sustainability but it's difficult to know how they imagine that. Or perhaps that means they're seeing sustainability more as longevity of wear.' For £49 a cap, you'd certainly hope to get a few wears out of it.
