FBI Director Kash Patel and country singer Alexis Wilkins announced their engagement Sunday after several years together.
Wilkins shared a photo on the US social media platform X of her showing off her new diamond ring while standing next to Patel.
"Went and got the law involved," the 27-year-old wrote alongside the photo.
Patel, 46, reposted the announcement on his own account with heart and engagement ring emojis.
The pair reportedly met in Nashville in 2022 and began a relationship the following year.
