Devlin “Duck” Hodges seemingly hinted at an upcoming engagement announcement in a comment on one of Lainey Wilson’s posts.
Wilson, 32, and Hodges, 28, shared engagement photos on Wednesday evening (February 12). The reigning Academy of Country Music Entertainer of the Year announced Hodges popped the question, and simply captioned the photos as a nod to her heartfelt ballad, “4x4xU forever ❤️”
Earlier this month, however, Wilson said she was “ponying up for GRAMMY week,” when she shared a few photos in a stunning white look, complete with long fringe and her signature cowboy hat. Dozens of Instagram users couldn’t help but notice Hodges’ comment on the February 1 post:
“Gosh dang ❤️🔥This is what you look like in white?!”
Wilson began dating the former NFL player in 2021. They kept their relationship under wraps until making their red carpet debut at the 58th ACM Awards in May 2023, at The Ford Center at The Star in Frisco, Texas. Since then, Hodges has joined the Whirlwind star at CMA Awards, CMT Music Awards, the ACM Honors, her headlining shows and more. Wilson said in a previous interview with PEOPLE while she was working on her latest studio album, “I'm writing me some love songs now. I’m grateful for him.”
