About Alexis Wilkins
Country singer, actress, political commentator — Alexis Wilkins wears several hats, and dating the FBI director put a spotlight on all of them. Born November 3, 1998, in Boston and of Armenian descent, she grew up between the Boston area, Arkansas, Windsor in the UK, and Switzerland, where she attended the Collège du Léman boarding school. She graduated from Belmont University in Nashville in 2020 with a business degree.
In Nashville she pursued country music, with early minor screen credits including 'Modern Family' and the film 'Jack and Jill.' She also built a profile as a conservative commentator, and in December 2024 became press secretary for Representative Abraham Hamadeh. In October 2025 she performed the national anthem at a major event in State College, Pennsylvania, and in 2026 she was booked to perform at the Freedom 250 celebration, per Variety.
She met Kash Patel in October 2022 at a ReAwaken America Tour event; they began dating in January 2023, when Patel was a Trump Media board member. Patel is 18 years her senior, and his 2025 confirmation as FBI Director put the relationship under a national spotlight.
Scrutiny followed through 2025 and 2026 — reporting on Patel's use of government aircraft for travel to see her and an FBI security detail assigned to her, coverage led by outlets such as the Washingtonian. Wilkins has also been targeted by online conspiracy theories; in November 2025 she filed multiple defamation lawsuits, including a $5 million suit over claims she was a foreign spy, and in March 2026 a Massachusetts man was arrested for making violent threats against her. The couple has stayed publicly together throughout, with Patel turning up at her 2026 performances in supportive appearances covered by entertainment press.
