FBI Director Kash Patel and country singer Alexis Wilkins have announced their engagement in posts on X. Wilkins, 27, shared a black-and-white photograph of herself with Patel, 46, holding up her ring. Her caption read: “Went and got the law involved.” Patel reposted the image with heart and ring emojis.
The couple have been dating since before Patel took over as head of the FBI in 2025. Wilkins attended his swearing-in ceremony. She released her debut album in 2023 and also works as a political commentator.
Wilkins has been affiliated with conservative groups. On her website, she says her work honours country tradition while adding current commentary. She later posted photographs of the couple together, including one in which she held an oversized golden championship belt.
Patel has faced criticism over travel on government aircraft for trips critics said had no known or apparent law-enforcement purpose. One reported journey involved an FBI jet flight to State College, Pennsylvania, for a professional wrestling event at which Wilkins performed the national anthem. Wilkins also performed at President Donald Trump’s Great American State Fair on the National Mall during the America 250 celebrations.
She was among the artists who took part after other performers withdrew, saying they had learned the event was not a non-partisan celebration.
