Kash Patel, Alexis Wilkins Engaged

FBI Director Kash Patel and country singer Alexis Wilkins announced their engagement on social media, with Wilkins posting a ring photo and writing, “Went and got the law involved.” Patel, 46, and Wilkins, 27, began dating in early 2023, before Patel became FBI director in February 2025. Wilkins attended his swearing-in and has performed at conservative political events. Their relationship has drawn scrutiny over Patel’s use of government aircraft and FBI personnel for trips involving Wilkins. Patel has said his position requires government aircraft for personal travel, with reimbursements under federal rules. Wilkins is suing MS NOW over a disputed report. A jury trial is scheduled for May 2028.
