Wilson and Hodges started dating in 2021 but officially made their red carpet debut in 2023 at the Academy of Country Music Awards. Since then Hodges has supported Wilson at several awards shows and events, including last year's CMA Awards.
Last year, she gushed about her relationship with Hodges, sharing in an interview with Billboard, "I have found a man that is so happy that he's with a lady that can do her own thing. He's just my cheerleader.'
She also spoke about how Hodges has impacted her music. "Everything I ever write, he hears because he truly is my best friend and he's got a great ear,' she told Billboard.
"He can't sing a lick — he tries to — and he's got great taste,' she continued. 'I know if I send him a demo or work tape, and he keeps going back and listening to it over and over, there must be something about this. He's not in the business, he don't have anything to do with this, and it's nice to be able to see what other people's opinions are because that's the listener right there.'
ABC News has reached out to Wilson's representatives for additional comment but did not hear back immediately.

Is Owen Wilson a club tosser? Star of Apple TV's 'Stick' gives us the dirt
Is Owen Wilson a club tosser? Star of Apple TV's 'Stick' gives us the dirt Show Caption Hide Caption Owen Wilson stars in new golf comedy 'Stick' Owen Wilson stars as a washed-up pro chasing a second chance in 'Stick,' a new comedy about life, love, and golf. Owen Wilson stars in the new Apple TV+ series "Stick" as a washed-up golfer attempting a comeback. Despite growing up in a golf-loving family, Wilson's game suffered from being left-handed and using right-handed clubs. For the show, Wilson worked to improve his golf game, even competing with PGA professionals like Max Homa and Collin Morikawa. Wilson's experience with pickleball, including playing with Woody Harrelson, informed his portrayal of a heated pickleball match in the series. LOS ANGELES – Owen Wilson readily admits that his golf game was already washed up when he agreed to play over-the-hill pro Pryce Cahill in the comedy "Stick." "The Wedding Crashers" star, 56, who says he's more skilled on tennis or pickleball courts, couldn't quite relate to the PGA meltdown on national TV that ended Cahill's promising career in the Apple TV+ series (three episodes now streaming, then weekly on Wednesdays). 'I've definitely tossed a tennis racket, but I haven't gotten good enough at golf to toss a club yet,' Wilson tells USA TODAY. 'If I hit a good shot, it's like, 'Whoa! Where did that come from?' Once you get a level of competence where there's an expectation and then you don't meet that – that's when you have a meltdown. But there is something about golf that can drive you crazy." Owen Wilson is still working to get to 'Stick' golf status Wilson has his reasons for his subpar game, which never flourished while he was growing up in Dallas, with golf-loving father Robert Wilson and actor brothers, Andrew and Luke Wilson. Owen was left-handed in a right-handed house. 'My dad didn't see enough in my game to invest in lefty clubs, so I was left to hack away with righty clubs,' he says. 'That was my excuse to myself.' When "Stick" creator Jason Keller rolled up with the series' boyishly optimistic golf-guru role, Wilson seized the part and pushed himself to improve his game drastically. He hit the links as if it were his full-time job. Working with golf consultant Nathan Leonhardt, however, was more financial strain than golf gain. 'Nathan didn't give me much. He took my money more," says Wilson. "We'd bet on shots and putting matches, and he wouldn't give me much of a handicap.' Owen Wilson talks new Apple TV+ golf comedy 'Stick' While promoting his new golf comedy series, Owen Wilson reveals the funniest golf meltdown he's ever seen while playing the game with brother Luke. Owen Wilson had a golf double in 'Stick' The actor already possesses the good-natured gravitas of a down-on-his-luck former golf star who still hangs with his loyal caddy Mitts (Marc Maron). Pryce, known as "Stick" for his former prowess, has personal reasons for the TV meltdown 20 years earlier. The nightmare haunts him on YouTube and contributed to the end of his marriage to wife Amber-Linn (Judy Greer). But he takes a shot at golf redemption, hitting the road to mentor free-swinging phenom Santi Wheeler (Peter Dager) while keeping the peace with Santi's mother Elena (Mariana Treviño), love interest Zero (Lilli Kay) and Mitts. When mentor Pryce steps up to hit on camera, Wilson had a blonde-wigged "swing double" professional step in or focused solely on the smooth motion for the camera. "In golf shows, they have you swing a lot without the ball," he says. Owen Wilson plays pickleball in Apple TV+ golf series 'Stick' "Stick" is about teen golf prodigy Santi Wheeler (Peter Dager) learning from coach Pryce Cahill (Owen Wilson). But there is pickleball. Wilson has seen Woody Harrelson get burned in pickleball Wilson feels he's earned the right to act heated during a "Stick" episode featuring a pickleball match. He's got skills from being a regular pickleballer at his Maui, Hawaii, home with a group that includes actor Woody Harrelson. "Woody has played longer than any of us. But still, when someone came to watch us play recently, they asked Woody, 'Was this your first time today?' That did not go over well," Wilson says. "That'd be like someone asking me that same question after seeing me tee off. I've been spending 40 hours a week on this game for more than two years." Wilson beat pro golfers in a glorious putting contest After all that practice, Wilson savored tooling around with PGA stars Max Homa, Wyndham Clark and Collin Morikawa, among a slew of "Stick" pro-golfer cameos. While competitively putting with the group, Wilson insists he sank a clutch 10-foot putt that the pros missed. 'I made the putt, they didn't. So that was satisfying,' Wilson says. 'That's one of golf's alluring things, making a shot that even a pro would be happy with.' The upstart was brought back to Earth when Morikawa, winner of six PGA tour events, dropped a putt in front of scores of spectators while cameras rolled. 'When the pressure was on, in front of a grandstand of extras, Morikawa sank this incredible putt,' Wilson says. 'I did not.' Still, Keller has hopes for Wilson's golf game that could be unleashed in a potential Season 2. 'I just played 18 holes with him. He's still finding his game, but the golfer I saw Tuesday was a completely different golfer than the one we started with," he says. "That swing was super smooth.' An earned golf meltdown is surely within Wilson's grasp. During a recent outing with brother Andrew, 60, things got so heated that the duo stopped talking to each other for 13 holes. 'Even though we'd driven to the course together, he took an Uber back because we weren't speaking,' says Wilson. 'We even won that day, but he just made me so mad, and apparently I made him so mad that it became this argument.' In a page out of Pryce's playbook, Wilson apologized to make peace. "I took the high road, even though I didn't owe an apology," Wilson says. 'I just said, 'Why aren't we celebrating this win that we had today?' He was like, 'Yeah, you're right!'"

Meghan Markle shared a montage of her family vacation to Disneyland in Anaheim, California. In the video, Markle could be seen enjoying rides and food with husband Prince Harry and kids Prince Archie and Princess Lilibet. Although Markle was careful to keep her kids' faces private, they are already looking so grown Markle and Prince Harry took their children, Prince Archie and Princess Lilibet, on a family trip to Disneyland—and the photos and videos could not be cuter.

In the video montage, Markle and Harry take their kids on some of the most iconic Disneyland rides, including the Tiana's Bayou Adventure, Dumbo The Flying Elephant, Star Wars: Rise Of The Resistance, and the Cars Land ride. Lilibet also looked thrilled to meet Elsa from Frozen. Markle wore a pair of the iconic Minnie Mouse ears over a black cap, along with a casual white shirt and jeans, while Harry opted for a black polo shirt and a cap. Archie coordinated with his dad wearing a simple top and jeans, while Lilibet wore an array of cute sundresses and a sparkly blue cap. Although Markle blocked out her children's faces, the video showed that Lilibet's strawberry red hair is getting ultra long and wavy, while Archie's hair is still just as auburn as ever. And the two kids are already looking so grown up! Lilibet turned four on June 4, and the family's trip to Disneyland seemingly coordinated with the big day—she even got a giant Mickey Mouse with a 'Happy Birthday, Lili' badge and a Little Mermaid-themed cake. The trip comes 31 years after Harry visited Walt Disney World with his mother, the late Princess Diana, and his brother, Prince William. Markle's video of her family trip to Disneyland follows on the heels of another intimate glimpse into her life with Harry. In honor of Lilibet's birthday, she shared a hilarious video of the pair twerking in the delivery room before welcoming her four years ago. Read the original article on InStyle

NYC influencer accuses scandal-plagued Brandy Melville of ripping off her logo on new t-shirt: ‘They're so shameless'
A Big Apple fashion designer is accusing the scandal-plagued fast-fashion chain Brandy Melville — worn by pop star Ariana Grande and other celebs — of ripping off her western-themed logo. 'Brandy Melville stole my logo and put it all over a bunch of shirts, and we're doing some investigative research today to see if they're in store and, unfortunately, buy them, so I can get them to my lawyer,' influencer Emma DiMarco, the founder of the Brooklyn-based vintage and apparel brand 'Kissing Cowboys,' said in a May 31 Instagram video. The clip then shows DiMarco, 29, inside of Brandy Melville's Union Square location, pulling one of its $21 red T-shirts – which bears the words 'Kissing Cowboys' in white font and a black-colored silhouette of a cowboy – off a hanger. Advertisement 'I'm, like, actually speechless. This is so insane,' DiMarco continued in the video, which has amassed nearly 175,000 views. Brandy Melville, which launched in Italy in the 1990s before coming to the US in 2009, has repeatedly been accused of fostering a toxic environment — racial and size discrimination included — among its workers, according to reports.

Advertisement 'They must have screenshotted the flyer and removed the cigarette from the cowboy's mouth … but the space between the letters, the letters, and the space between the cowboy's head — it's all the same,' DiMarco fumed. 'They're so shameless — that's the part that makes me really angry, is that they're basically like, 'What the f–k are you going to do about it?' DiMarco told The Post. 3 'They're so shameless – that's the part that makes me really angry,' DiMarco, who sells her own 'Kissing Cowboy'-brand merch, told The Post.
