Rising Nashville singer/songwriter Alexis Wilkins has reportedly been dating her boyfriend, FBI Director Kash Patel, for over two and a half years. The pair first formed a connection over their shared values for patriotism and have stuck by each other’s sides supporting their respective careers ever since.

The couple first met at a Nashville event, where Wilkins says she was immediately drawn to Patel’s honesty. “We both are very patriotic, so obviously there are things there that we definitely agree on,” she explained during an appearance on The Megyn Kelly Show in July 2025.

She also noted that they began seeing each other “long before” Patel was head of the FBI. However, she proudly stood by his side when he was sworn into the position in February of 2025.

“All of this was not on my bingo card, but here we are,” she joked.

Since moving to Nashville from her home in Arkansas, the 27-year-old has built a career that combines her talent for singing with her passion for politics. She graduated from Belmont University in Nashville in 2020, where she received a bachelor’s degree in business administration and now serves as a political commentator.

She has dedicated herself to various veterans’ causes, frequently works with organizations like Warrior Rounds, Operation Stand Down, and Soldier’s Child and performs in veterans’ hospitals through the Musicians on Call program. On top of all that, she serves as a consultant for The American Border Story, a board member of the NRA, an ambassador for Turning Point USA, and a contributor to The Unity Project. Earlier this year, she took the stage at Charlie Kirk’s memorial in remembrance of his efforts to inspire the next generation.

Wilkins and Patel frequently share glimpses of their lives together on social media, showcasing their shared patriotism and involvement in various events.

“She is a rock-solid conservative and a country music sensation who has done more for this nation than most will in ten lifetimes. I’m so blessed she’s in my life,” he said in a recent statement on X.

According to her LinkedIn, her days of being a recording artist, performer and writer began in August 2007. In April of 2023, she added to her growing catalog with her debut EP, Grit. The six-track project puts Wilkins’s traditional country sound on display and showcases her powerful storytelling skills.

“I’ve been writing music my whole life. I originally started songwriting to raise money for an organization I believed in when I was seven. That led me to continue writing for myself and other artists. When I realized I could do what I loved while raising awareness for something I believed in, I was sold,” she previously told Country Now.
