Country music star Lainey Wilson isn’t shy about expressing her desires for a wedding ring. The 32-year-old “Heart Like a Truck” singer recently opened up about her four-year relationship with former NFL player Devlin “Duck” Hodges, 28, admitting she might take matters into her own hands if he doesn’t propose soon.
Hinting for a Proposal
In a lighthearted yet serious tone, Wilson revealed her frustration during a recent interview, saying she might have to pop the question herself if Hodges doesn’t act. A close source shared, “Lainey has made it clear to Devlin how she feels. He’s got to be feeling the pressure by now.”
Despite the playful banter, Wilson’s longing for commitment comes with heartfelt reasons. The source added, “She wants to get married and start a family. She talks about it jokingly, but she’s not kidding. Lainey sees Devlin as ‘the one.’”
The pair, who have been inseparable since their relationship began, share a supportive bond. Wilson has frequently referred to Hodges as her “biggest cheerleader and champion.” His unwavering support has even inspired some of her most heartfelt love songs.
