Lainey Wilson has officially announced her engagement! The country music star shared the big news on February 12, 2025, in a sweet Instagram post with her longtime boyfriend and now fiancé, Devlin “Duck” Hodges. Fans couldn’t stop talking about the stunning ring she’s now wearing.

In her post, Wilson, 32, shared a series of romantic photos and videos, celebrating her engagement. The caption read, “4x4xU forever,” which references her song “4x4xU” from her latest album, Whirlwind.

The first photo in the post showed the couple holding hands outside a beautiful building with large windows. Another picture showed framed photos of the couple surrounded by candles and roses. There were also black-and-white pictures of the couple kissing, with one photo showing Hodges holding a cowboy hat while Wilson proudly displayed her engagement ring.

The post ended with a short video of Wilson walking down the stairs, playfully showing off her ring while saying “boo” to the camera.

As soon as the post went up, fans flooded the comments with excitement, many focusing on the ring. One fan commented, “Great ring choice Duck! Congrats to you both!” Another wrote, “Congrats!! You always said you wanted a ring so big you’d have to drag your arm, think you got it.” Others joked about the size of the ring, with one fan writing, “Whoa, we didn’t need a close-up to see that bling.”

Fans also admired the ring’s design and the cowboy hat ring box. One user wrote, “LOOK AT THE SIZE OF THAT THING, HOLY COW,” while another said, “The ring box being a cowboy hat is so cute haha.”

On Reddit, fans had similar reactions. One person wrote, “He put a boulder on her finger!” and another asked, “How big is that ring?!”

Wilson and Hodges’ relationship began in 2021 when they met through mutual friends in Nashville. Wilson recalled their first outing together, saying they bonded over shared interests, including going to a place called Silverados, where there were free beer and wine from 5 to 10 p.m. “I was like, ‘This boy likes to ball on a budget too. This is gonna work out,’” she said.

While the couple initially kept their relationship private, Wilson later expressed how happy she was to share it with her fans. She also spoke highly of Hodges, praising his support for her career. “Duck is the kind of dude who high-fives me on the way in the door and on the way out and says, ‘Go get it,’” she said.

Wilson also credited their relationship with inspiring her songwriting. “I was never really able to write love songs, because I don’t know if I had actually felt it, but I’m writing me some love songs now,” she said.

Hints about an engagement first appeared in late 2024 when Wilson jokingly mentioned during an interview that Hodges better propose in 2025. “Duck, you better come with it, baby,” she said, laughing. She also joked, “I might have to propose to him. We waiting.”

Earlier in September 2024, she had joked about her high expectations for her ring. “I don’t care what shape it is, but I wanna be walking with a limp. I want to have to pick my arm up like this,” she said while exaggerating her arm movement. She added, “Duck is listening to this, going ‘Oh gosh, oh gosh… Better go get you a loan baby!’”

It looks like Hodges took note of her wishes, as the ring has definitely caught fans’ attention. Fans continue to celebrate the exciting news and are eager to see what’s next for the couple.
