Country singer Alexis Wilkins is showing off her diamond ring following her engagement to FBI Director Kash Patel, 46, which the pair announced on X Sunday evening. Wilkins, 27, posted a black-and-white photo of the ring with the caption 'Went and got the law involved', which Patel reshared with heart and ring emojis. The couple met at a Nashville conservative event in late 2022 and have dated since early 2023. Trump allies including Alina Habba and Laura Loomer celebrated the news online.

Patel previously drew sharp criticism for using an FBI jet to watch Wilkins sing the national anthem at a Pennsylvania wrestling match during a government shutdown.

The FBI director also faced scrutiny for assigning Wilkins a security detail — including tactical agents and SWAT personnel — who reportedly accompanied her to a UK resort and personal errands.

Wilkins attended Patel's swearing-in as FBI director and has built her career performing at conservative events, including the Trump-backed Freedom 250 American State Fair.
