Lainey Wilson, a rising star in the country music scene, recently surprised her fans by posting a private video of herself and her boyfriend, Devlin "Duck" Hodges. The couple can be seen enjoying a 4x4 drive in the October 9 Instagram video, which features Wilson's song "4x4xU" from her most recent album "Whirlwind" playing in the background.
The singer, 32, gave fans a glimpse inside her relationship with Hodges, a former NFL quarterback who is currently employed in real estate, despite the fact that she usually keeps her personal life secret. Seen through the rearview mirror of the car, Wilson's song was playing in the background while the couple appeared comfortable, wearing similar caps while navigating the tough forest paths.
Wilson included a line from the song as her caption, "Ain't nowhere I'd rather be," to highlight how happy she is to have Hodges by her side. Playfully replying in the comments, Hodges shared the video on his Instagram Stories and alluded to his eagerness for the approaching duck hunting season.
Wilson talked candidly about their friendship in a recent interview with Zane Lowe on Apple Music 1, calling Hodges her "biggest cheerleader" and someone who truly gets the value of following one's aspirations. She recalled their encounter from when Hodges was a member of the Pittsburgh Steelers and talked about how their lives had changed significantly since then.
Wilson acknowledged that their relationship is special and much loved despite the difficulties posed by their hectic schedules, which aptly echoes the album's whirlwind concept.
