Country music superstar Lainey Wilson and her fiancé, former NFL quarterback Devlin "Duck" Hodges, are still basking in the glow of their engagement, but wedding plans are taking a backseat to Wilson's whirlwind career. The couple, who got engaged in February, haven't yet finalized any details for their big day.
Busy Schedules Delay Wedding Planning
"Well, you ain't gonna believe this but we still have not planned it, bless his heart," Wilson confessed in a recent interview. Her demanding schedule, including her current 2025 Whirlwind World Tour and recording her next record, has made it difficult to find the time to focus on wedding preparations. Wilson revealed that her team is already booking shows into 2027, further complicating the search for available dates.
Dreaming of a Country-Themed Celebration
Despite the lack of concrete plans, Wilson and Hodges have discussed their vision for the wedding. "Of course we sit around and talk about like, what we would want. Just trying to figure out is it [the wedding] big or small? Is cousin so-and-so coming? Is cousin so-and-so not?" Wilson shared. The couple envisions a celebration that embraces their country roots, with Wilson hinting at a grand entrance on horseback. However, they might surprise guests with some jazz music at the reception.
A Perfect Date Night: Simple and Sweet
While wedding planning is on hold, Wilson and Hodges cherish their time together. Wilson described their perfect date night as a relaxing evening at home. "Normally it is us at the house and we'll take a little ride on the side-by-side and go check all the deer cameras," she said. "Then he will cook, and I'll sit there and we may have a little drink together, and then we spend the evening on the porch, listening to music."
The couple, who have been dating since 2021, announced their engagement with a sweet Instagram post referencing Wilson's song "4x4xU." Fans eagerly await updates on their wedding plans, but for now, Lainey Wilson and Duck Hodges are enjoying their engagement and focusing on their respective careers. Hodges earned his nickname 'Duck' due to his prowess in duck-calling and hunting. Wilson's real name is Lainey Denay Wilson, and she remains incredibly humble despite her immense success in the music industry.
