Lainey Wilson has frozen her eggs.

The 33-year-old country singer has "dreams" of starting a family with her fiancé, ex-NFL player Devlin "Duck" Hodges, so much so she made the egg retrieval process a "big priority" in her busy schedule.

She told PEOPLE: "I think the world and just people in general try to give you a timeline when things should be happening, and I'm just so thankful that I was given the opportunity to do the egg retrieval and that it was successful.

"I've focused on my career for so long, and I definitely have something to show for it with my music, but I have other dreams too.

"It [egg retrieval] was a decision I already made. I found a window in my schedule, and as soon as I got back from touring in Europe, I started my process.

"I just made this a big priority. I had to say, like, 'All right, it's got to be on the schedule.' "

The Heart Like a Truck hitmaker revealed in February 2025 that she and former Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback Duck were engaged, after he popped the question, but the star has now told how she nearly proposed to him.

She explained: "I knew that I was going to end up with Duck, but I thought I was going to have to propose, so I was like, 'Dang it, if he don't hurry up!' "

Lainey previously praised Duck as her "best friend", and admitted her romance is "a lot different than a normal relationship" because of her touring schedule.

She said: "He is one of the purest hearts and people that I have ever met. He is my biggest cheerleader. We don't really play by the rules...

"We don't get to see each other all the time, and I do live a lot of my life on the road, so we're also kind of figuring it out as we go, which is fun."

What's more, the star told how important it is to "dedicate" days to her significant other.

She added: "You have to definitely carve out the time. It has to be something that you're very aware of, and you're like, 'OK, I've got a day off here in 10 days. I've got to dedicate that day to spend time with my person.'

"And we both need that and deserve that, and it's always great. We just try to soak up those moments as best as we possibly can."
