In her post, the “Watermelon Moonshine” singer thanked her international fans, writing, “All of the things I’ve dreamed and prayed for, are turning out to be so much more than I could have imagined.”

She added, “Heading back to America with a full heart. Thank you UK & Europe for filling my cup these last three weeks. Can’t wait to see Duck and my babies (the dogs).”

But fans were focused on more than just her words. Several zoomed in on Wilson’s pose in the photos — some swore they spotted what looked like a baby bump.

“I see a babyyyyyyy,” one fan wrote. Another chimed in, “Is that a baby bump?! 😮” More comments quickly followed: “You pregnant?” and “That’s a pregnancy pic for sure!” Others were a bit more playful, guessing whether it was a bump or just some good food from the trip.

While Wilson hasn’t addressed the rumors, she has spoken openly about motherhood in the past. During a July 2024 appearance on Today, when Meghan Trainor asked if she wanted kids, Wilson smiled and said she definitely hopes to have children one day — but wanted to accomplish a few more goals first.

Regardless of the baby rumors, Wilson is already enjoying a joyful new chapter. Earlier this year, she got engaged to former NFL quarterback Devlin “Duck” Hodges in a romantic proposal at the home of country legend George Jones.

From Private Beginnings to a Public Love Story

Wilson and Hodges first met in 2021 through mutual friends in Nashville and quietly dated for over two years. They made their first public appearance at the 2023 ACM Awards, walking the red carpet together.

In February 2025, Hodges popped the question on the porch of George Jones’ former home in Franklin, Tennessee. The spot was beautifully decorated with red roses, candles, and framed photos from their relationship. He even presented the ring in a cowboy hat-shaped box — a nod to their country roots.

The Ring and Their Future

The engagement ring — a diamond cluster design — reflected Wilson’s signature mix of bold and classic style. She shared the moment with fans, captioning the post, “4x4xU forever ❤️,” referencing her hit song from her album Whirlwind.

Hodges has remained a supportive presence in Wilson’s fast-moving career, transitioning from sports to real estate and always cheering her on behind the scenes. She often refers to him as her biggest source of encouragement.

Now, as Wilson continues her Whirlwind world tour, fans are not only watching her musical success but also the sweet love story unfolding in her personal life. Whether or not a baby is on the way, one thing is clear — this chapter of Wilson’s journey is filled with joy, growth, and love.
