Story summary

FBI Director Kash Patel and his country singer girlfriend Alexis Wilkins, 27, announced their engagement on social media on Sunday evening. Wilkins posted a photo of herself with Patel, 46, showing off her diamond ring, captioned "Went and got the law involved." The couple met at an event in Nashville in October 2022 and started dating in January 2023.

Patel has faced scrutiny for using government resources to support Wilkins, including traveling on an FBI jet to watch her perform the national anthem at a wrestling match in State College, Pennsylvania. Critics accused him of abusing his position during a government shutdown. Despite this controversy, Patel reposted Wilkins' engagement photo and added heart and diamond ring emojis.

Wilkins is also known for her conservative views and has hosted shows on Rumble, a platform often used by critics of mainstream media outlets. She released her debut album in 2023 and writes about honoring country tradition while adding contemporary commentary.
