Between hit songs and award shows, Lainey Wilson is soaring to new heights, but she knows that her fiancé, Devlin “Duck” Hodges, is the real MVP behind the scenes. During a recent chat, she couldn’t help but gush about how his unwavering support plays a massive role in her success—a love story unfolding amid the chaos of her career.
They may be busy chasing dreams, but after getting engaged at the iconic George Jones’ estate, they seem to be embracing a laid-back approach to wedding planning. Lainey humorously admits that between late nights and constant travel, they’re figuring out timelines. It’s evident that while love songs about heartfelt moments pour easily from her pen, she’s still rooted in memories and experiences that inspire those classic country heartbreak tracks.
With big performances at the 59th Annual CMA Awards under her belt, including multiple wins, it’s clear Wilson is not just writing a romantic tale; she’s living it. As she presses forward with new music and an acting gig in the works, there’s a sense that we’re just scratching the surface of what’s possible when you have someone in your corner—supporting you through it all. Let’s hope Duck has filled a notebook with all the sweet nothings—because this journey is just getting started!
