Lainey Wilson Confesses She Used to Impersonate Miley Cyrus at Kids' Birthday Parties!
UPDATE: You better buckle up, Lainey Wilson and Devlin “Duck” Hodges are entering their newlywed era.
Over a year after getting engaged, the country singer and former NFL quarterback tied the knot May 10 in an outdoor ceremony in Dickson, Tenn., surrounded by family and friends.
"My absolute dream ceremony," Lainey told Vogue in an interview published May 14. "There's a small waterfall flowing down the hill behind the altar and windows. The waterfall is what convinced us to do the ceremony in this spot."
After saying “I do,” the bride and groom kept the celebration going late into the night.
“My mama led the dinner prayer for all of our guests, and we settled in for a night of good food, good company, and good music,” Lainey continued. “Our family and friends know how to have a good time, and the dance floor was packed all night."

Hang tight, honey—because Lainey Wilson is getting married.
The country music star got engaged to boyfriend Devlin "Duck" Hodges after four years of dating.
Sharing photos of herself wearing an engagement ring while kissing the retired football player, Lainey wrote on Instagram Feb. 12, "4x4xU forever."
The caption was a sweet nod to her 2024 single "4x4xU," which she performed in front of Duck last year at the CMA Awards.
The couple began dating back in 2021, when he was still playing for the Pittsburgh Steelers.
"But then it all changed," she recounted in an August interview with Apple Music 1, explaining how he signed with the Los Angeles Rams. "It was like his life was changing as my life was changing and we were going different directions."
Still, the couple weathered the "whirlwind."
"I finally found a guy that gives me a run for my money," Lainey continued. "And he's my biggest cheerleader. He's just a good person. And he knows how important chasing down a dream is because even when he was a little boy, football was his life."
And while they've both made a name for themselves in their respective fields, Lainey and Duck—whose nickname was given by his college football coach—prefer to keep details of their romance close to the chest.

"When it comes to mine and Duck’s relationship," she told Billboard in a May interview, "there’s going to be some things that we can’t escape and people are going to say and do whatever, but me and him are on the same page about the less we put out there, the less that we’re going to have to deal with people making anything up and saying anything."
The "Heart Like a Truck" singer added, "We want to keep that as sacred as we possibly can between me and him, and so far, it has worked for us."
