Thomas Rhett and his wife, Lauren Akins, just announced that soon, their family of six is going to become a family of seven.
“Here we go again,” they wrote on social media on Tuesday (Aug. 26). “ We’ve got some really excited big sisters in our house. God is so good.”
They already have four daughters and have not revealed the sex of baby No. 5.

All About Thomas Rhett’s Kids
Willa Gray, 9 Years Old
Willa Gray was adopted from Uganda in May 2017; she was born in November 2015 and joined the family at around 18 months old. Thomas and Lauren had been trying to conceive prior to adopting Willa, making her arrival deeply meaningful for them.
“Willa Gray is a mother spirit, a nurturer spirit,” Rhett told People in 2021. “If Ada James or Lennon is crying, she’s the first one over there to be like, ‘Are you okay? Do you need your blanket? You want me to get you a bottle of milk?’”
Ada James, 8 Years Old
Ada James was born in Nashville on August 12, 2017 and was a sweet surprise.
The couple had been struggling to conceive for a while, which is what led them to pursue adoption first. Just a few months into that process, Lauren discovered she was pregnant. That meant they welcomed Willa home in May 2017 and then had Ada James just three months later in August!
“You’ve got Ada James, who is extremely sassy,” Rhett once said to People. “The first person to say, ‘Hey, baby, let’s go get on our pajamas,’ gets ‘Well, I don’t really want to right now.’”
Lennon Love, 5 Years Old
Lennon Love entered the world on February 10, 2020, making her an early Valentine’s Day baby.
For her first birthday, the family threw a rainbow-themed celebration, complete with colorful streamers, balloons, cake and lots of laughter. In that birthday post, Lauren called Lennon’s personality “already bigger than most adults,” and described her as “sweet, stubborn, cautious and joyful.”
Lillie Carolina, 3 Years Old
Lillie Carolina arrived on November 15, 2021, making her the youngest of the four daughters.
Her name was inspired by the lyrics of the worship song “Jireh” by Elevation Worship and Maverick City Music.
