Kash Patel, Alexis Wilkins Engaged

FBI Director Kash Patel and country singer Alexis Wilkins announced their engagement on social media Sunday. Wilkins shared a photo showing her ring and joked that they had “got the law involved.” Patel, 46, and Wilkins, 27, met in 2022 and began dating in early 2023, before Patel became FBI director. Their relationship has drawn scrutiny because Patel has used government aircraft for travel connected to Wilkins, including a Pennsylvania trip to watch her perform. Wilkins sued MS NOW and reporters over a report she says falsely portrayed her as intoxicated; MS NOW argues the case lacks merit. Patel called attacks on Wilkins baseless and described critics as “uninformed internet anarchists.” A jury trial is scheduled for May 2028.
