Lainey Wilson is completely devoted to her fiancé, who has reportedly proved to be her rock.
Speaking on her new documentary, Lanny Wilson: Keepin’ Country Cool, she admitted she wouldn’t have coped with the pressure of the past few years, during which she rose to fame, without their support.
“I would come home from the road, I was so tired, and he was the only person who could see it, but I was crying and packing my bag again. He got to see behind the curtain.”
For those who don’t know, Lainey and the former NFL player started dating in 2021 and they got engaged in early 2025.
As a former professional athlete, Wilson also said that Hodges understands the “all-in” mentality required for elite success.
“He also knew how much time it took to do and how much I have dedicated my life to it.”
He also revealed that domestic stability is more valuable to him than any trophy.
“He adds so much to my life, I think, ‘Why wouldn’t I want to spend the rest of my life with my best friend?’ Someone who lifts me up and encourages me and shoots me straight, who makes potato soup for me.”
Finally, she said, “It’s making it. I didn’t know this would be a part of making it.”
