Ever since Duck Hodges proposed to Lainey Wilson on the steps of George Jones' former house, fans have been wondering if maybe the couple purchased the property. The answer to that is no. Lainey is a big fan of George Jones and she had been wanting to see the house for awhile. At the time of the proposal, the home was up for sale again and that was how Duck had the opportunity to make her dream come true. "We've been trying to see (the house) for awhile and one of Duck's buddies was listing it for sale and he had it all staged," Lainey shares. Her manager was supposed to meet them there, but when they arrived, they were alone and the stage was set for the perfect proposal.
