Lainey Wilson engaged to former NFL quarterback after four years of dating
The country singer posted a photo on her Instagram just before Valentine's Day on Wednesday showing off her new ring.
'4x4xU forever,' the post's caption read, referencing the title of her hit 2024 song.
The 'Heart Like A Truck' singer was pictured wearing a long red coat, cowboy hat and bell bottom jeans outside George Jones's $5.95 million manor in Franklin, Tennessee.
PageSix reports that Hodges proposed to Wilson — who is a huge fan of the late 'He Stopped Loving Her Today' crooner — at the property.
Wilson first confirmed that she was dating Hodges in 2023 during an episode of The Bobby Bones Show. At the time, she told the radio show host that she and the former Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback had been together for the last two and a half years.
'He's a good dude. He knows what it's like chasing a dream because he's done that for himself,' she said at the time. 'He is good as gold, supports me, would never come in between anything that I'm trying to do.'
'But I guess I'm gonna have to propose to his ass 'cause he ain't proposed to me,' Wilson joked about an engagement at the time. 'I think [an engagement] needs to be during a season of our life where we really have the time to, like, enjoy it.'
Wilson also revealed during that episode why Hodges answers to the nickname 'Duck,' telling Bones that it came from his college football coach at Samford University in Alabama.
'His college football coach was like, 'You're one of the best quarterbacks I've ever worked with. And you remind me a lot of one of my favorite quarterbacks I got to work with years ago, and we called him Duck,'' Wilson said. 'And so he and the team just kind of started calling him Duck.'
Wilson seemed to predict that the proposal was coming, as she joked last month that this might be the year it would happen.
'No pressure, brother! No pressure,' she said during an interview with Bunnie XO for CMT. 'I might have to propose to him. We waiting!'
Bunnie replied: 'No, Duck's going to do it. I could feel it.' Wilson then responded, 'I like that.'
On Thursday, many people were quick to congratulate the couple on their engagement.
'OKAYYYYYYY massive congratulations Lainey,' Taylor Lautner commented on Instagram.
'He gave a rock to a rolling stone, and the rolling stone let her heart free! Congrats to both!' another comment read.

Jennifer Tilly, 66, Poses for Nude 'Thirst Trap' Photo in Her Swimming Pool
The 'RHOBH' star posed for the revealing snap wearing nothing but red lipstick, sunglasses and a flower in her hair NEED TO KNOW Jennifer Tilly stripped down to nothing but red lipstick, sunglasses and a flower in her hair for an Instagram post on Monday, Aug. 18 "Thirst trap," she simply captioned the photo Tilly joined season 14 of The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills as a friend of the show last year Jennifer Tilly is baring all! The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills star, 66, stripped down to nothing but sunglasses and a flower in her hair for an Instagram post shared Monday, Aug. 18. Leaving little to the imagination, Tilly stood completely nude in a pool as she folded her arms and stared into the camera, completing her look with red lipstick. She received lots of love in the comments section from fellow Bravolebrities and fans. LaLa Kent applauded Tilly's post with a "👏" Emoji while Lisa Rinna wrote, "🔥🔥🔥." Actress Donna D'Errico commented, "On fire! 🔥," while another fan added, "Consider me trapped." The Chucky actress joined season 14 of RHOBH as a friend of the show last year. She revealed what it was really like to film for the series, confessing it wasn't as glamorous as she thought it would be. 'I remember I was like, 'I live in Beverly Hills, and it'd be kind of fun to see Beverly Hills through the lens of really rich people,' ' she told Vulture in an interview published in August 2024. 'I thought that I was going to see a lot of people shopping on Rodeo Drive, but a lot of the filming that they do is in the Valley, in places where it's easier to get permits. So it's not like you're at the fanciest places in Beverly Hills, arguing.' Still, she later added that there was no shortage of drama. 'You come in without a script. It's just sort of like they just wade in there, and they go at it,' the Academy Award winner continued. 'In real life, if you're at a restaurant and people at the table are screaming at each other, you're mortified like, 'Oh my God. I can't believe I'm with these uncouth people.' But when I am sitting at a table with Housewives, I feel like I have a front-row seat at the Super Bowl.' Tilly also noted that she has no regrets about her new gig. 'I appreciate what they do,' she said of Housewives. 'I'm just going to say it's really challenging. It's the craziest thing I've ever done, but I'm really happy I'm doing it, and I think it's such an interesting kind of sharp left turn for my career.' "I'm not a Housewife. I'm a Friend, though, which is a lot easier," she continued in part. "You just dip in and out. You try to avoid, like, flying shrapnel. And you know, if drinks are thrown, I have good reflexes." The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills can be streamed on Peacock. Read the original article on People Solve the daily Crossword

Salma Hayek pays tribute to late 'Fools Rush In' costar Matthew Perry on his birthday: 'Thinking of you today'
The "Frida" actress shared memories from her onscreen romance with the "Friends" star on what would have been his 56th birthday. Salma Hayek is remembering her late rom-com costar, Matthew Perry. The Frida actress shared a tribute to her Fools Rush In castmate in an Instagram post on Tuesday, which would have been the Friends star's 56th birthday. "Thinking of you today Matthew," Hayek wrote in her caption, alongside the Spanish translation, "Pensando en ti hoy, Matthew." The post featured a still of Perry and Hayek (who was clutching a small dog) from the 1997 film, as well as a short clip from the movie in which Isabel (Hayek) brings her new boyfriend Alex (Perry) to a large family gathering. "This is a family dinner?" Alex asks upon seeing the size of the party. "I guess a lot of people couldn't make it," Isabel responds. Hayek previously memorialized her late costar, who died in October 2023 from the acute effects of ketamine, shortly after his passing. "Two days ago, I woke up to the shocking news that Matthew Perry is no longer with us. It's taken me a couple of days to process this profound sadness," Hayek wrote on Instagram at the time. "There is a special bond that happens when you share dreams with someone, and together you work towards them." Fools Rush In tells the story of a New York architect and a Nevada photographer who share a whirlwind romance after a one-night stand leads to an unplanned pregnancy. In his 2022 memoir Friends, Lovers, and the Big Terrible Thing, Perry remembered Hayek frequently sharing a "very elaborate and lengthy idea" about how they should approach their scenes together, but noted that "her long-winded ideas weren't always helpful" in the end. "There's one scene in which I'm professing my love for her," Perry recalled in his memoir. "She suggested that we don't look at each other — rather, we should look out at our future together. After listening to this nonsense for about twenty minutes, I finally said: 'Listen, Salma,' I said, 'I'm telling you I love you in this scene. You look wherever you want, but I'm going to be looking at you.'"However, Perry remained fond of the project decades after its release, describing it as "probably my best movie" in his book. The actor said that he was particularly touched by advice he received from the film's director, Andy Tennant. "I was bouncing around doing my funny little things, and [Tennant] would take me aside and say, 'You don't have to do that. You're interesting enough to watch without doing that,'" Perry remembered in his book. "That line of thinking allowed him to pull out of me one of the best performances of my career. Could this be a different way of saying Matty, you're enough, the words I've been longing to hear my entire life?" Read the original article on Entertainment Weekly
