Lainey Wilson<\/a> doesn’t plan on going back home to Louisiana to raise her family.<\/p>\n But she says she’s hoping her future children have a childhood that’s similar to the one she enjoyed growing up.<\/p>\n On a new episode of\u00a0This Past Weekend With Theo Von<\/a><\/em>, Wilson\u00a0\u2014 who got engaged to Devlin “Duck” Hodges early in 2025\u00a0\u2014 said she and Duck will probably raise her kids in Nashville.<\/p>\n “I think Nashville is just a good spot. Even if music wasn’t a thing, I think they’ve got good schools,” Wilson says.<\/p>\n “And I feel like you can go far out right now\u00a0\u2014 you can go far out enough on any side and feel like you’re in the country, you know?” the singer goes on to say.<\/p>\n Even though Wilson and Hodges plan to raise their kids in the city, they’ll still be incorporating some aspects of the country raising they grew up with. Both hail from small towns: Wilson grew up in Baskin, La., while Duck was raised in Kimberly, Ala.<\/p>\n Wilson says that she’s not planning to completely close off her kids from the modern-day world.<\/p>\n But she hopes they spend more time outdoors than they do in front of a TV.<\/p>\n “I want to raise my kids like [I was raised], playing in the dirt,” the singer reflects.<\/p>\n “I just want them to be outside and do things we grew up doing. You know what I’m saying? And just enjoy those things.”<\/p>\n The presence of technology and social media is a new challenge Wilson and Hodges will face, that wasn’t quite as omnipresent when they were kids themselves.<\/p>\n But the singer says she’s seen first-hand that limiting kids’ access to screens can have a positive effect.<\/p>\n “Me and Duck took some kids that he coached last year to eat Mexican food not too long ago,” she recounts, saying that two of the teens\u00a0\u2014 17-year-old twin boys\u00a0\u2014 stood out to her.<\/p>\n “They were just, for 17 years old, carrying on great conversation, making eye contact\u00a0\u2014 you could tell they were raised right,” she says. “And then I realized, they said they had never had social media.”<\/p>\n “I was like, ‘That’s why you can carry on a conversation,'” she continues.<\/p>\n Before they start thinking about raising kids, Wilson and Hodges are currently in the midst of wedding planning\u00a0\u2014 and it sounds like they’ve got a way to go before they make it to the altar.<\/p>\n Read More<\/em>: Lainey Wilson Reveals Where She’s at With Wedding Planning<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\nLainey Wilson Wants More Outdoor Time Than Screen Time for Her Future Kids<\/strong><\/h3>\n
