Lainey Wilson is floating high at the moment, at least within the world of country music. The reigning CMAs Entertainer of the Year has been lighting things up since making her first appearance on Yellowstone. According to The Daily Mail, she's taken some steps to ensure she's around for a long time to enjoy her success.

Labeling the period as her year of health, Wilson revealed in August that she made several life changes to shore up her health, get into better shape and tighten her body up a bit. No surgery, pills, or other gimmicks were involved, just a lot of work with a personal trainer and tweaks to her day-to-day life. The finished product was on display at the CMA Awards, with Lainey shedding 70 pounds since shaking things up in 2020.

Dropping sugary drinks, adding fruits as a dessert, and switching in veggies for potato chips were all keys to shedding the weight. She also took up running and pushed to be more active in her downtime.

The health kick also comes as her relationship with former Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback Devlin "Duck" Hodges enters the public sphere. As she revealed, Wilson has been seeing the quarterback for a few years, making a red-carpet debut with him back in May at the Academy of Country Music Awards.

"He knows what it's like chasing a dream because he's done that for himself," she detailed on the Bobby Bones Show. "Supports me, would never come in between anything that I'm trying to do. He's like, 'Go get it, girl.' And I made him wait for a while. I mean ... it's been a little over two years now."

"It's so great – I mean, he's buddies with all my buddies," she adds. "He'll FaceTime me and he'll be with HARDY or he'll be with Cole Swindell and all of them – I'm like, 'Can you please stop taking my friends?'"

Wilson has worked hard to reach this moment and she deserves to enjoy the success how she wants. This feels like a positive place to start.
