Thomas Rhett & Wife Lauren Akins Are Expecting Baby No. 3

It’s official: Thomas Rhett is adding another girl to the mix.

Today, the 29-year-old country singer revealed that he and his wife, Lauren Akins, are expecting their third daughter. Rhett announced the news on his personal Instagram account and shared a photo of his two children—Willa (3) and Ada (1)—hugging Akins’s growing baby bump.

He captioned the post, “Excited to share that I will now be paying for 3 weddings. I feel so blessed to say that our third child is on the way and it’s a girl!! I love you so much @laur_akins. WG and AJ, y’all are gonna be the best big sisters! Bring on the crazy.”

Rhett and Akins met at church camp when they were 13 years old. Although they briefly dated as teenagers, they went on to see other people before reconnecting in 2011. One year later, they tied the knot in an intimate ceremony outside of Nashville.  

In 2016, Rhett and Akins adopted a baby girl named Willa Gray from Uganda. In the midst of the adoption process, the couple announced that they were expecting a biological child. Three months after Willa arrived in Tennessee, the family welcomed baby Ada.

“Rhett, party of five” has an awfully nice ring to it, don’t you think?
