(Dickson, TN) Country music star Lainey Wilson and former Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback Devlin “Duck” Hodges tied the knot in Tennessee over the weekend.
The couple announced the news in a joint Instagram post Thursday, sharing 20 photos from the ceremony with the caption: “we’re hitched!”
The wedding took place Sunday at Ruskin Cave in Dickson, Tennessee, according to Vogue.
Wilson and Hodges, who became engaged in February 2025, made their public debut as a couple at the 2023 ACM Awards. Earlier, romance rumors circulated after Wilson was seen wearing a Hodges jersey while in Pittsburgh during Luke Combs’ world tour. In a past interview, Wilson said the couple kept their relationship private for about two and a half years before going public.
Hodges became a fan favorite in Pittsburgh during the 2019 season after injuries to Ben Roethlisberger and Mason Rudolph opened the door for playing time.
Known for his quirky nickname and viral popularity, Hodges inspired memes and merchandise during his brief NFL run. The Pittsburgh Steelers released him in 2020, and he did not appear in another NFL game. He announced his retirement in 2022.
Wilson has earned her spot as a country music superstar, winning nine Country Music Association Awards. She also won its top honor of Entertainer of the Year in 2023 and 2025. Her accolades also include a 2025 Grammy Award and sixteen Academy of Country Music Awards.
