Rising Nashville singer/songwriter Alexis Wilkins has reportedly been dating her boyfriend, FBI Director Kash Patel, for over two and a half years. The pair first formed a connection over their shared values for patriotism and have stuck by each other’s sides supporting their respective careers ever since.
The couple first met at a Nashville event, where Wilkins says she was immediately drawn to Patel’s honesty. “We both are very patriotic, so obviously there are things there that we definitely agree on,” she explained during an appearance on The Megyn Kelly Show in July 2025.
She also noted that they began seeing each other “long before” Patel was head of the FBI. However, she proudly stood by his side when he was sworn into the position in February of 2025.
“All of this was not on my bingo card, but here we are,” she joked.
Since moving to Nashville from her home in Arkansas, the 27-year-old has built a career that combines her talent for singing with her passion for politics. She graduated from Belmont University in Nashville in 2020, where she received a bachelor’s degree in business administration and now serves as a political commentator.
She has dedicated herself to various veterans’ causes, frequently works with organizations like Warrior Rounds, Operation Stand Down, and Soldier’s Child and performs in veterans’ hospitals through the Musicians on Call program. On top of all that, she serves as a consultant for The American Border Story, a board member of the NRA, an ambassador for Turning Point USA, and a contributor to The Unity Project. Earlier this year, she took the stage at Charlie Kirk’s memorial in remembrance of his efforts to inspire the next generation.
Wilkins and Patel frequently share glimpses of their lives together on social media, showcasing their shared patriotism and involvement in various events.
“She is a rock-solid conservative and a country music sensation who has done more for this nation than most will in ten lifetimes. I’m so blessed she’s in my life,” he said in a recent statement on X.
According to her LinkedIn, her days of being a recording artist, performer and writer began in August 2007. In April of 2023, she added to her growing catalog with her debut EP, Grit. The six-track project puts Wilkins’s traditional country sound on display and showcases her powerful storytelling skills.
“I’ve been writing music my whole life. I originally started songwriting to raise money for an organization I believed in when I was seven. That led me to continue writing for myself and other artists. When I realized I could do what I loved while raising awareness for something I believed in, I was sold,” she previously told Country Now.

An 11-year-old named Corbin got the experience of a lifetime when one of his favorite ’90s country bands, Shenandoah, took notice of his support and brought him on stage during a recent show.
The boy’s mom, Jessica often posts about her sons love for traditional country music online, even joking that he was “born in the wrong era.” Back in May, she was able to fulfill his lifelong dream of attending his first concert and it’s safe to say it was a night he will never forget.
They snagged spots close to the stage, giving Corbin the perfect opportunity to showcase his “Cumberland Road” sign and to catch a guitar pick that was thrown off the stage by the band’s lead singer, Marty Raybon. Jessica shared several videos from the night to TikTok, including one that has racked up over 500k views and even caught the attention on Shenandoah.
“When we saw that Shenandoah would be performing in our town back in May, we knew we had to go. That night, he was in absolute heaven — singing every word, smiling nonstop, completely in awe. And when he caught Marty’s guitar pick, that was the moment that made it all unforgettable,” she told Country Now.

This particular video struck a chord with users as it showed Corbin with tears of joy streaming down his face after catching the pick while fans around them screamed along to the band’s No. 1 hit, “Two Dozen Roses.”
Jessica explained that after Shanendoah saw the video, they invited them back to another show in Georgia where they showed Corbin how much they appreciate his support.
“Corbin looked at me and said, ‘I can’t believe someone so big noticed a little 10-year-old from Georgia!’ He was over the moon.”
In the midst of the show, he’s seen making his way to the stage, where he joined the country music group front and center. Raybon introduced the boy saying, “There was a TikTok, I threw out a pick and he got it. And man…that thing exploded. Has anybody seen the TikTok? Can I tell them you was crying? It’s too late now,” he joked.
When asked if he was having a good time, Corbin gave a hearty “yes, sir” in response. He remained on stage for several more songs, singing, dancing and clapping along with a big smile on his face. Not only that, the group also invited him backstage for a formal meeting.

“For him, this was truly a dream come true — meeting one of the bands he’s loved since he first started listening to country music. It’s a memory he’ll carry for the rest of his life, and as his mom, seeing his pure joy and excitement was something I’ll never forget.”
She continued, “Corbin said it was like everything he’d ever dreamed about was happening right in front of him. Afterward, he said it felt like a dream, that he couldn’t believe he actually got to sing with one of his favorite bands.”
@__jesssss_c_ The day finally came!! Corbin got to meet his favorite country band😍😍😍 #shenandoah #countrymusic #90scountry #countryconcert #twodozenroses @Shenandoah ♬ original sound – __jesssss_c_
This incredible experience was a long time coming for Corbin, who has loved music pretty much all his life. Jessica pointed out that even before he learned to talk, he expressed that he was drawn to anything musical, but specifically old school country.
“While most kids his age are into modern music, Corbin has always gravitated toward the classics — Shenandoah, George Strait, Alan Jackson, Tracey Lawrence etc,” she added.
Shenandoah is on tour now.

Luke Combs and his wife Nicole surprised fans in late September with the exciting news that they’re expecting their third child this winter. Now, Nicole is opening up about her pregnancy in a new Instagram Q&A, sharing the ups and downs of pregnant life and revealing whether they’ll find out the baby’s gender.
Like her previous pregnancies, Nicole admitted she’s been dealing with nausea, responding to a fan who’s going through the same thing with a simple, supportive, “God speed.”
With two young boys at home (Tex Lawrence, 3, and Beau Lee, 2) fans have speculated whether the couple is hoping for a little girl. Nicole set the record straight: “We are not going to keep going just for a girl. I don’t understand that logic. We are happy with any and all lil nuggets.”
On the topic of gender, she confirmed they won’t be finding out this time around. “If I could go back and not find out each time, I would,” she said. “We don’t care what we have, I know a lot of people say that but we truly don’t. Happy and healthy is always the goal.”
The couple announced Nicole’s pregnancy with an adorable Instagram video. Sitting on the grass with their sons’ backs to the camera, Nicole revealed the ultrasound she’d been hiding, and both boys threw their hands in the air in excitement at the news of their new sibling. A follow-up clip offered a close-up of the ultrasound as the soon-to-be family of five held hands and walked away from the camera.
Their caption read: “Third time’s a charm! ✨ Baby #3 coming this winter 🤍”
Luke Combs’ voice provided the soundtrack for the video as he debuted a brand-new song, “Days Like These.” With heartfelt lyrics and soaring melodies, the song perfectly captures the joy and love of family moments like this.
“Days like these are worth more than gold / But they can’t be bought / And they can’t be sold /
On days like these / When the sun shines bright / I feel like it’s all gonna be alright,” he sings.
2026 is shaping up to be a big year for Combs. Along with welcoming another child, he’ll hit the road for a world tour spanning two continents and eight countries. He’s also teased a new album on the way, however, he has yet to reveal further information about the project.
He recently gave fans a sneak peek at new music with the release of The Prequel, a three-song EP that includes “My Kinda Saturday Night,” “15 Minutes,” and “Days Like These.”
