Kash Patel, now serving as FBI director under President Donald Trump, isn’t just making headlines for his high-profile role. The 45-year-old has been in a steady relationship with Alexis Wilkins, a 26-year-old country singer and Capitol Hill press secretary. And now she’s opening up about the romance.
Wilkins has lived a life as varied as her resume. Her father served in the U.S. Navy during the Korean War and was the son of Armenian immigrants who fled tough times; her mother worked in aerospace and pharmaceuticals. She spent part of her childhood in Switzerland and England before settling in Arkansas, then Nashville, Tennessee.
With roughly 12,500 monthly listeners on Spotify, Wilkins says she’s committed to the storytelling and classic instrumentation of traditional country music. “It’s relatable, it’s country, it’s the truth,” she told Beyond the Stage Magazine.
In late 2023, she added a new title to her bio: press secretary for Republican Rep. Abraham Hamadeh. It’s a role that now has her splitting time between Washington, D.C., and Nashville.
