Lainey Wilson has opened the doors to her Louisiana mansion for the new issue of Southern Living magazine.
The Yellowstone actress also opened up about her relationship with fiancé Devlin ‘Duck’ Hodges.
The 33-year-old country singer revealed she told her husband-to-be, 29, a white lie on their first date.
It was related to his nickname ‘Duck,’ which was given to him by a former college football coach. At the time, his coach said he reminded him of a skilled quarterback named Duck.
‘He had a really good season that year. And so the whole team started saying, “It’s Duck season; it’s Duck season!” So that’s how he got Duck,’ the songstress explained.
She then added, ‘On our first date, I told him that people call me Goose. I was lying, but he fell for it. I think he was like, “Oh, I’m in love.”‘

Elsewhere in the cover story, Lainey discussed where Duck picks up the slack in their romance — in the kitchen.
‘My fiancé definitely likes me for a lot of other reasons, because if he was dependent on my cooking, he’d be gone by now,’ she admitted.
The Heart Like A Truck hitmaker added, ‘He can cook. He’s an Alabama boy, so he knows how to whip it up.’
Last month her wedding plans came to light in a Daily Mail exclusive.
It was revealed by a source that Lainey is planning a massive country-style wedding to the Pittsburgh Steelers star.
The event will take place in Nashville, Tennessee, where the music artist owns a 30-acre property.
‘That is the best location because she has deep ties there and also Devlin has ties to Alabama, which is only a four hour drive away,’ said the insider.
‘It will be sexy country, like a California cowgirl look — so, traditional with a little sassiness thrown in,’ the person close to the couple spilled.

It was added: ‘Lainey is already looking at wedding dresses and wants something that highlights her slender figure with a touch of Southern charm. Think Southern belle meets music royalty. And no, she won’t walk down the aisle with a cowgirl hat on.’
The ceremony won’t take place until the entertainer’s Whirlwind World Tour wraps.
The lovebirds announced their engagement in February 2025.
Duck proposed at the George Jones estate in Franklin, Tennessee, presenting the beauty with a large diamond engagement ring that was propped in a cowboy hat-shaped box.
The twosome began dating in 2021, but didn’t make their red-carpet debut in 2023.
In January Lainey joked that she might ‘have to propose’ to her then-boyfriend as she waited for him to pop the question.
While speaking to Jelly Roll’s wife Bunnie Xo during a CMT interview, she teased, ‘No pressure, brother! No pressure. I might have to propose to him. We waiting!’
