The country music star and her new husband, Duck Hodges, were perfectly in sync as they reflected on their Tennessee wedding, often finishing each other’s sentences during the conversation.
Lainey Wilson and her new husband, Duck Hodges, are still adjusting to married life — and they already seem perfectly in sync, often finishing each other’s sentences.
The newly married couple made their first major public appearance together as husband and wife at the 61st Academy of Country Music Awards in Las Vegas, where Wilson earned seven nominations during one of country music’s biggest evenings.
During a red carpet interview with Fox News Digital, the pair reflected on their whirlwind wedding week and shared how surreal the experience still feels.
“It’s wild, it really is,” Wilson said while smiling at Hodges. “Getting to call you my husband.”
Hodges admitted that the reality of being married still hasn’t completely registered, adding that the couple tied the knot only a week earlier. Wilson agreed, saying the milestone feels like the beginning of an exciting new chapter in their lives — one she’s thrilled to experience alongside him.
Their affectionate chemistry and playful dynamic remained evident throughout the conversation as they spoke about their intimate Tennessee wedding celebration, which carried deep personal meaning for both of them.
Later in the interview, the “Heart Like a Truck” singer shared the unexpected moment that made her most emotional. Known for her signature bell-bottoms and cowboy hats, Wilson joked that seeing herself dressed as a bride — and watching Hodges react to it — was unforgettable.
Laughing, she revealed that the highlight for her was “him seeing me in a dress for the first time,” before adding, “That was it.”
