FBI Director Kash Patel and country singer Alexis Wilkins are engaged after several years together. Wilkins announced the engagement on Sunday, October 4, sharing a photo of the couple on social media and confirming that Patel had proposed.
The announcement adds a new chapter to a relationship that has been public for several years. The couple has been dating since at least 2023, and Wilkins has said they first met at an event hosted at a friend’s home in Nashville.
Wilkins has built her career as a country singer, songwriter, and performer. She released her debut EP, Grit, in 2023 and has also worked in political commentary and other public-facing roles.
Patel became the ninth director of the FBI in February 2025. Wilkins attended his swearing-in ceremony and has appeared with him at several public events since then.
The couple has not announced a wedding date. For now, their engagement is the latest personal milestone in a relationship that has increasingly drawn public attention.
