Lainey Wilson is showing the world just how much she values her time with her boyfriend Devlin “Duck” Hodges. The 32-year-old rising country star, who typically keeps her relationship with the 28-year-old former NFL quarterback under wraps, recently treated fans to a rare glimpse of their life together in a heartwarming video.
Set to the tune of her own song, “4x4xU” from her latest album Whirlwind, the video captures the couple enjoying a scenic drive through a rugged forest trail. The CMA Entertainer of the Year and her football pro beau are seen in matching hats, smiling as they navigate the bumpy terrain while the love song’s chorus plays in the background.
“Ain’t nowhere I’d rather be / than in a 4×4 by you, babe,” Wilson sings in the video, “N.Y.C. to L.A. / city to the country / from here to Kalamazoo.” The footage perfectly matches the song’s sentiment, creating a sweet tribute to her relationship. Wilson captioned the post, “Ain’t nowhere I’d rather be,” emphasizing her love for Hodges, told People.
This rare, intimate video comes shortly after Wilson opened up about her relationship with Hodges during an interview with Zane Lowe for Apple Music 1. The “Watermelon Moonshine” singer couldn’t help but praise her boyfriend, calling him her “biggest cheerleader.” She added, “He’s just a good person. And he knows how important chasing down a dream is because even when he was a little boy, football was his life.”
Despite her rising fame and busy schedule, Wilson’s video shows that she still cherishes the simple moments spent with Hodges. The couple’s shared love of adventure and the outdoors is evident, highlighting a down-to-earth side of the star as she continues to navigate her journey in country music.
For fans of Wilson, the glimpse into her personal life is a rare treat, and the touching video reflects the bond she shares with Hodges, proving that no matter where life takes her, there really is “nowhere she’d rather be” than by his side.
