Country music sensation Lainey Wilson has playfully suggested she might take the lead and propose to her boyfriend, former NFL player Devlin "Duck" Hodges. During a recent interview with Bunnie Xo for CMT, Wilson responded to Xo's hopes for a 2025 engagement with a lighthearted, "No pressure! I might have to propose to him. We're waiting!"

This playful banter isn't new for the couple. Wilson made similar comments after revealing their relationship at the 2023 ACM Awards, jokingly stating she might have to propose since Hodges hadn't yet. At the time, she clarified they weren't secretly engaged, emphasizing the desire to enjoy an engagement when their schedules allow.

Wilson expressed gratitude for Hodges' unwavering support at the 2024 CMT Awards, describing him as her biggest cheerleader. She emphasized the importance of having supportive people in her demanding career. Hodges, now working in real estate, previously played for the Pittsburgh Steelers and the Los Angeles Rams.

Reflecting on 2024, Wilson highlighted her induction into the Grand Ole Opry as a career high point, expressing contentment and excitement for what the future holds.
