Folks saw Russell, the granddaughter of country music legend Loretta Lynn, grow and gain confidence during that show, and that growth has continued since. And recently a new chapter began as Russell gave birth to a daughter just two weeks ago. That, however, didn’t come without a major scare.

Country music star Lainey Wilson and former Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback Devlin “Duck” Hodges are engaged. The couple shared the news in series of photos posted to Instagram on Wednesday, Feb. 12. The post was captioned “4x4xU forever,” a reference to Wilson’s hit song from her 2024 album “Whirlwind.”
