Lainey Wilson has secretly wed her fiancé of one year Devlin ‘Duck’ Hodges.

The country music star, 33, and the football player, 30 – who first started dating five years ago – said ‘I do’ on Sunday.

The location was far from Nashville as they wed at the Ruskin Cave in Dickson, Tennessee, according to Vogue.

Wilson, who played country singer Abby on season five of Yellowstone, found the venue by chance. 

‘Duck and I were driving backroads in Tennessee and saw a billboard for The Ruskin Cave,’ Wilson told the outlet.

‘Duck said, “You wanna get married there?” I said, “Done deal.” We dropped by, saw the venue and fell in love with the natural beauty of the cave and the simplicity of the property.

‘My absolute dream ceremony,’ Wilson told Vogue. 

‘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.’

The couple stepped out publicly for the first time at the ACM Awards in May 2023, two years after they began dating in 2021. 

Wilson wore a custom Oscar de la Renta gown with small flowers on the straps and neckline.

Duck had on a bespoke suit by D. Lacquaniti, a custom bolo tie, cufflinks and a hat pin created with Mud Lowery with boots by Golden West Boots and a cowboy hat by Charlie 1 Horse.

‘I arrived in a white horse-drawn carriage and walked down the aisle with my Deddy to join Duck at the altar,’ she told the fashion magazine.

The reception took place in a cave. ‘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,’ Wilson told Vogue. ‘Our family and friends know how to have a good time, and the dance floor was packed all night.’

The couple worked with Hugh Howser and Kate Steele with H Three Events to plan the big day. 

She also told Vogue: ‘Being from Louisiana, I wanted to bring in a little bit of Cajun flair, so naturally we hired a 12-piece jazz band called Rebirth and had a Cajun meal from the chefs at my bar, Bell Bottoms Up.’ 

She announced her engagement last year on Instagram

They left the event in an old white Ford truck.

They got engaged in February 2025 as she wrote on Instagram, ‘4x4xU forever ❤️,’ referring to the track ‘4x4xU’ off her album, Whirlwind.

In August 2025, Wilson revealed to PEOPLE that during the proposal, the ring had been placed inside a mini cowboy hat-shaped box.

‘Man, I tell you what, trying to wrangle me in is, it’s a lot,’ she admitted to the site.

‘But I will say even the hat box situation, he proposed to me with the little hat box, and so just being able to do that and also at the same time be celebrating our engagement and our love, it feels good.

‘I’m excited to just step outside of the box and see what happens. So hopefully when he sees me, he’ll be boohooing,’ she said.

‘The sky is the limit, that’s how he acts about everything,’ Wilson further added. ‘He’s just the place that I get to call home and I’m lucky to have him and I think he’s pretty dang lucky to have me, too.’
