FBI Director Kash Patel and his longtime girlfriend, country singer Alexis Wilkins, announce that they are engaged. Multiple outlets report the couple made the announcement via a post on social media, including an image of Wilkins showing an engagement ring while standing next to Patel.
Reports describe Wilkins, 27, sharing a photo—often described as black-and-white—alongside Patel, 46. In the caption, outlets say Wilkins writes “Went and got the law involved,” and includes heart emojis, tagging Patel and pairing the announcement with a ring photo. Patel responds in similar fashion on his personal account in at least one account of the announcement.
Outlets generally agree on the basic facts of the announcement, the identities of both people, and that the engagement was revealed publicly online. Some reports add background such as that the couple have been dating since before Patel took over as head of the FBI in 2025, and that Wilkins attended his swearing-in. Other outlets focus more narrowly on the engagement announcement itself.
