Lainey Wilson, known for her signature bell-bottoms, plans to go traditional for her wedding to Devlin “Duck” Hodges. On The Kelleigh Bannen Show, Wilson revealed she will wear a dress, saying, “I hadn’t worn a dress for him yet, and I guess that would be the day to do it.” Despite her iconic style, Wilson feels a dress is fitting for the occasion.
Wilson’s love for bell-bottoms began when she was a child and continued after moving to Nashville in 2011. She joked about wearing them even at 90, but for her wedding, tradition wins out.
Wilson also shared details about her engagement ring, designed by Hodges. She recalled joking about rings years ago, and Hodges started saving for the perfect design. “He took a couple of the rings that I showed him years ago and put them all together and he outdid himself,” she said.
Wilson and Hodges started dating in 2021 and went public at the ACM Awards in 2023. They announced their engagement in February 2025. Wilson praised Hodges as a supportive partner, saying, “He is a brave man… He was plucked from the sky for me.”
The couple’s relationship has been a highlight in country music, with Hodges supporting Wilson through her career milestones. As they prepare for their wedding, fans eagerly await the next chapter in their love story.
Hodges, a former NFL quarterback, has transitioned into real estate and remains a constant source of encouragement for Wilson. Their bond has inspired Wilson’s music, including love songs that reflect their relationship.
As Wilson and Hodges look forward to their wedding, they are taking their time to enjoy the process. Despite speculation about a 2025 wedding, no date has been set. Wilson joked about proposing herself in the past, but now she’s excited to see what the future holds.
