Country music star Lainey Wilson announced her engagement to Devlin “Duck” Hodges in an Instagram post Feb. 12.
“4x4xU forever [red heart emoji],” Wilson wrote on her social media account while announcing the news to her 3 million followers. She shared a series of romantic photos and videos alongside the clever reference to her track “4x4xU” off her latest album, titled, “Whirlwind.” The country music sensation didn’t specify the day Hodges proposed to her, but she did include a light-hearted video that showed her walking down outdoor stairs with her head down before staring into the camera and saying “boo!” as she held up her gorgeous engagement ring.
