At the 2025 CMA Awards, Lainey Wilson made headlines not just for winning the coveted Entertainer of the Year title, but also for dropping a sweet wedding bombshell. Amidst heartfelt gratitude for her fans and team, she cheekily shared that she’s gearing up to marry her fiancé, Devlin “Duck” Hodges, next year. Talk about a double celebration that’s set to rock Nashville!
Leading the pack with six nominations, Wilson was the only woman up for the top prize but took it home, proving once again that she’s a force to be reckoned with in country music. Her acceptance speech showed genuine appreciation for her roots and the dedicated people around her. As she jovially wrapped up the event, Wilson even poked fun at herself for nearly forgetting she was hosting. It looks like Lainey’s not just winning awards—she’s winning hearts, too!
