Lainey Wilson & Devlin “Duck” Hodges Ring in July 4th with a Relaxing Bahamas Getaway
This Independence Day, Lainey Wilson and fiancé Devlin “Duck” Hodges swapped the stage lights and stadiums for sunshine and ocean breezes, celebrating the holiday weekend in the Bahamas with their closest family and friends. The newly engaged couple took some well-earned time off to unwind, proving that even country’s biggest rising stars need to slow down and savor the moment.
Known for her powerhouse vocals and easygoing charm, Lainey has had a whirlwind year packed with award wins, chart-topping hits, and a packed tour schedule. Her relationship with Hodges — a former NFL quarterback — has only added to the buzz, especially after the couple publicly debuted their romance at the 2023 ACM Awards.
Photos and short video clips shared by family members captured the pair in full vacation mode: boat rides through crystal-blue waters, laughter around beach bonfires, and plenty of sun-soaked smiles. Lainey looked relaxed in flowy tropical attire, while Duck kept it casual in his signature laid-back style. Together, they looked totally at ease — far from red carpets and tour buses.
Though the trip was kept mostly private, fans quickly spotted snippets online. One fan-favorite photo showed the couple strolling hand-in-hand along the shoreline, sparking comments like, “Country royalty, island edition” and “They’re glowing — love looks amazing on them.”
Wilson and Hodges have quickly become fan favorites for their grounded, genuine dynamic — a perfect match of Southern roots and heartfelt simplicity. Their relationship, though not often in the headlines, has steadily captured hearts since they went public.
As Lainey prepares to hit the road again and wrap up work on her next album, this tropical escape was a chance to reset, reconnect, and quietly celebrate everything they’ve built — both personally and professionally.
While no major updates came during the vacation, one thing was clear: Wilson and Hodges are stepping into this new chapter with the same sincerity and heart that defines Lainey’s music.
Or as one fan perfectly put it on social media:
“She writes songs about real love — and now she’s living one. So happy for them both.”
With salty air, sandy feet, and smiles that say it all, Lainey and Duck are writing a love story that’s as easy and effortless as a warm summer breeze.
