FBI Director Kash Patel and country singer Alexis Wilkins have announced their engagement on social media. Wilkins, 27, posted a black-and-white photograph of the couple on X, showing her ring, with the caption: “Went and got the law involved.” Patel, 46, reposted the announcement. The couple have been dating since before Patel became FBI director in 2025.
Wilkins attended his swearing-in ceremony. Wilkins released her debut album in 2023 and has also worked as a political commentator. Her website says she aims to honour country tradition while adding current commentary.
She has been affiliated with conservative groups. The engagement announcement comes as Patel has faced criticism over travel on government aircraft. Critics have questioned trips with no known or apparent law-enforcement purpose.
One trip involved an FBI jet flying Patel to State College, Pennsylvania, for a professional wrestling event where Wilkins performed the national anthem. Wilkins later posted photographs of the couple smiling while she held a large championship belt. Wilkins also performed at President Donald Trump’s Great American State Fair on the National Mall as part of America 250.
The event drew attention after other artists withdrew when they learned it was not a non-partisan celebration. The social-media announcement did not include details of a wedding date or location.
