Kash Patel and his country singer girlfriend have taken their romance to the next level even as the FBI director’s agency withers under his watch.
Alexis Wilkins, 27, announced on social media on Sunday that the two had “gone to court,” sharing a photo showing her engagement ring and her fiancé, who is 19 years older than his future wife.
The jet-setting couple, who began dating in 2023, faced scrutiny throughout the second Trump administration as Patel allegedly used his perks as FBI director to use government-owned private jets to visit his girlfriend.

Wilkins also filed several defamation lawsuits against conservative influencers who alleged she was an undercover Israeli “honey pot,” but none were successful.
The Nashville resident sued former Republican Senate candidate Sam Parker last fall after the Utah-based right-wing influencer shared a series of X-rated posts that racked up more than 1.6 million views.

Wilkins sued Parker for $5 million in damages, claiming he defamed her by alleging she was a foreign agent charged with manipulating and compromising the FBI director.
However, a federal judge ruled in favor of Parker in August, determining that the case, filed in the United States District Court for the District of Utah, did not fall within the court’s jurisdiction.
Wilkins also sued MS NOW in Tennessee over a report that she asked her FBI security agents to take her friends home after a night out in Nashville.
It’s unclear whether marital privilege might factor into the ongoing litigation Wilkins is involved in, as the suits were filed before her engagement to Patel.
The Daily Beast has contacted Patel for comment.

Patel, 46, has faced widespread criticism throughout his tenure over his questionable leadership decisions and allegations of concerning personal behavior.
When questioned by the Senate Judiciary Committee last month, the embattled FBI director said he had changed the agency’s hiring rules so they did not discriminate against “victims” of bestiality, causing confusion among senators on the panel.
Under the watchful eye of the nation’s top law enforcement official, the agency also experienced a major privacy breach in late September when a criminal hacking group, ShinyHunters, stole two to three terabytes of sensitive data from FBI servers, according to Reuters.
An explosive report in The Atlantic on Friday also revealed that Patel served primarily as a puppet in the White House, often taking orders directly from President Donald Trump’s deputy chief of staff, Stephen Miller.
