In her Instagram post, the couple is seen all smiles right after the proposal took place. There were no frills or romantic decor–just the two of them in a very casual, intimate setting. Although the event was simple, Wilson’s engagement ring left everyone’s jaws on the floor. Even wedding insiders are impressed!
Her impressive multi-stone ring
The dazzling ring features a floral diamond cluster of three stones estimated to be 2.5 carats each, says Mike Fried, CEO of the Diamond Pro, in an interview with HELLO!. This bespoke design costs a whopping $250,000, underscoring its exceptional quality.
Its bold shape and size align with the popular cocktail ring trend where designs typically have thicker bands and chunky stones. In this case, Wilson’s ring appears to have a sleeker band, giving it a more refined and timeless appeal. The floral cluster was also a nice touch that matched the singer’s penchant for statement-making pieces.
Engaged at last
Wilson has long joked about waiting for their engagement. In an interview with CMT, she said, “No pressure, brother! No pressure. I might have to propose to him. We waiting!” She also quipped about wanting a massive ring in the “Country Heat Weekly” podcast: “I don’t care what shape it is, but I want to be walking with a limp.”
As a cheeky nod, Wilson’s Instagram post also features a video of her “limping” only to flash her ring at the end of the clip.
Wilson and Hodges have been together since 2021. The couple made their relationship public in 2023 at the 58th Academy of Country Music Awards. Hodges is said to have been very supportive of Wilson’s career. She mentions to PEOPLE that he is one of her “biggest cheerleaders and champions.”
Fans and fellow artists quickly flooded the comments section to congratulate the newly engaged couple. While wedding details have yet to be announced, it’s safe to say that this extravagant ring is a sign of what’s to come.
