President Donald Trump’s FBI nominee Kash Patel had a flurry of close friends and family gathered in the front row of his Senate confirmation hearing last week.

Among those guests included Alina Habba, Special Presidential Envoy for Special Missions Ric Grenell, Patel’s parents who traveled all the way from India for the hearing, and his sister.

And one glamorous mystery woman seated behind Patel in a show of support has now been revealed to be his girlfriend – country music artist Alexis Wilkins.

Patel, 44, met Wilkins, 26, at a conservative ReAwaken America event in October 2022, an insider told DailyMail.com. They started dating just a few months later in January 2023.

This came to the dismay of MAGA internet users as online searches about whether Patel was single spiked during his confirmation hearing on Thursday.

While Patel has never been married, he has been with Wilkins for over two years now and are serious about continuing their relationship.

The pair is making the move to Washington, D.C., together, DailyMail.com can exclusively reveal.

Although Wilkins doesn’t plan to hang up her cowgirl hat and microphone, she took a job on Capitol Hill working as press secretary for Rep. Abe Hamadeh (R-Ariz.).

Despite her new role in the Senate, Wilkins plans to travel between D.C. and Nashville. She’s also planning to keep her place in the city at the hear of the country music scene.
