Thomas Rhett And His Wife, Lauren Akins, Announce She Is Pregnant With Baby #5

On Tuesday (August 26), Thomas Rhett and his wife of nearly 13 years, Lauren Akins, made a life-changing announcement: she is pregnant!

They shared the exciting news in a video on Instagram. The video began with a close up of Lauren fixing the camera and asked her husband, “You ready, honey?”

As she walked away, Thomas Rhett began strumming his guitar and singing lyrics from his 2017 song “Life Changes,” where he sings about his and Lauren’s life not going the way they planned, but in the best way possible.

“Well I was wrapping my head around bein’ a dad, a big wrench got thrown in the plans we thought we had,” he sang with Lauren by his side.

Lauren began rubbing her belly when he sang, “Now Lauren’s showing, got one on the way, that’s….five under 10, hey what can I say?”

At this moment, she whipped out ultrasound photos to confirm that they were expecting their fifth child!

Big sisters include Willa Gray (9), Ada James (8), Lennon Love (5), and Lillie Carolina (3).
