The Proposal: A Nod to Country Legends
In February 2025, Hodges planned a heartfelt proposal that paid homage to their shared love for country music. He chose the former home of the late George Jones in Franklin, Tennessee, as the backdrop for this special moment.
The porch was transformed into a romantic haven, adorned with framed photos capturing their cherished memories, long-stemmed red roses, and the warm glow of candles.
Adding a personal touch, Hodges presented the engagement ring nestled inside a cowboy hat-shaped ring box, a playful nod to their country roots. Wilson shared the joyous news on Instagram, captioning the post, “4x4xU forever ❤️,” a heartfelt reference to her hit song “4x4xU” from her 2024 album “Whirlwind.”
A Ring That Reflects Her Unique Style
Hodges presented Wilson with a bespoke engagement ring that perfectly captured her distinctive flair. The ring featured a cluster of diamonds, aligning with the trend of bold, sculptural, multi-stone designs.
