And then there were six! Thomas Rhett and his wife Lauren welcomed their fourth daughter on Monday, November 15.
The proud parents shared the news late Wednesday (November 17) along with photos of their new bundle of joy and details of her arrival.
“Lillie Carolina Akins ? born November 15th. 7.5 pounds of pure joy? @laur_akins you are my hero. Watching a child being born is legit a miracle. 4 under 6 here we go!” Thomas Rhett captioned a photo of himself alongside a smiling Lauren who is seen cradling the newborn.

Lauren posted her own photo of baby Lillie Carolina and shared details of her Biblical name.
“Our little miss Lillie Carolina Akins ? was born on November 15th and our family couldn’t be more over the moon about our littlest joy,” Lauren wrote before sharing lyrics from a worship song inspired by scripture from Matthew 6 and Luke 16.
“If He dresses the lilies with beauty and splendor
How much more will He clothe you?
If He watched over every sparrow
How much more does He love you?”
Lauren added, “Just love hearing her name as the sweetest reminder of how much God cares for us.”

In an interview in June, the singer told PEOPLE about learning that Lauren was pregnant while they were on a ski trip in Telluride celebrating his birthday.
“We were on a ski lift and my wife kept saying that she was just feeling nauseous and somehow I convinced her it was from her face being burnt,” he says. “I was like, ‘Maybe it’s just sun poisoning.’ Or, ‘Maybe it’s this.’ And she was like, ‘I don’t know, this feels kind of different.'”
Thomas Rhett teased Lauren that she might be pregnant again.
“She was like, ‘There’s no way I’m pregnant.’ And I was like, ‘Well, there’s definitely a way,’ ” he added with a laugh. “And we went and got a pregnancy test and literally within 15 seconds, there were two pink lines on the pregnancy test.”
After learning that they were going to have another girl, the “Die A Happy Man” singer could no longer keep their news from fans and told a crowd at a concert at Billy Bob’s in Fort Worth, Texas, that they were adding to their family with another daughter.
Lillie Carolina joins older sisters Willa Gray (6), Ada James (4), and Lennon Love (21 months). Congratulations to the Akins family!
