This past summer, country star Thomas Rhett and his wife of nearly 13 years, Lauren Akins, announced she is pregnant… again!
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 playing 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?”
She then pulled out ultrasound photos to confirm that they were expecting their fifth child!
“Here we go again! We’ve got some really excited big sisters in our house. God is so good,”Rhett captioned the announcement video.
Thomas Shares His Family’s Sweet Reaction To The Exciting News
On Wednesday (November 5), Thomas posted a video of his little family’s reaction to hearing the news that Lauren was pregnant.
The clip starts out by Lauren setting up the camera on the counter, asking her oldest daughter, Willa Gray, to come into the room. When all four of the girls and Thomas are standing next to her, Lauren tells Willa that her daddy’s gift never arrived, but something else did, pulling out pregnancy tests.
Thomas clearly looks shocked, laughing as the girls squeal with excitement.
Fans flooded the comment section, pointing out what they thought was the funniest part of the video, when the couple’s 8-year-old daughter, Ada James, says “WITH WHO!”
“CONGRATULATIONS!!!!!!!!! With who!???😂,” one commenter wrote.
“Please write a song called “with who?!??” ☺️☺️☺️,” another said.
