Celebrities often love to splurge. They have the financial means to do it, so why not, right? Maybe they like pricey real estate, exotic trips, fancy clothes, or flashy jewelry. One country singer had a much different material desire, though. Lainey Wilson, 33, reportedly wanted to indulge herself with a new Jet Ski. Nevertheless, her fiance, Devlin "Duck" Hodges, 29, quickly gave a big thumbs-down. She talked about it per People via Taste of Country Nights.

Wilson Recalled How the Subject of a Jet Ski Came Up
"Me and Duck were actually at a place called Moby Dicky's, which is our favorite restaurant ever. "I saw somebody drive up on a Jet Ski, and I was like, 'We gon' get a Jet Ski, today, we gettin' a Jet Ski.'" Despite her enthusiasm, "by the time I finished the beer, he [Duck] had already talked me out of it."
"I was ready to do something crazy; I was ready to get a turquoise Jet Ski. He was like, 'You're not gonna be here to ride it!' Anyway, long story short, I thought about it but it didn't happen."
She Shared What "Frugal" Devlin Likes to Spend Money On
Even folks who are loath to spend money have urges to splurge. Wilson said per the outlet via Taste of Country that Devlin is a bit tight with a buck. Still, there is something that loosens his grip on a dollar. "I'll tell ya this about Duck, he's pretty frugal except when it comes to good hunting stuff, like getting ready for duck season and having all the appropriate gear and whatever — that's his thing he likes to splurge on. I'm not gonna tell him what to do, because he's not gonna tell me what kind of guitar I can buy, ya know?"
They Prioritize Their Relationship
Wilson and Hodges are very busy people. Yet they always manage to eke out time to spend with each other. She observed, "You have to definitely carve out the time. It has to be something that you're very aware of, and you're like, 'Okay, I've got a day off here in 10 days. I've got to dedicate that day to spend time with my person. And we both need that and deserve that, and it's always great. We just try to soak up those moments as best as we possibly can."
