Thomas Rhett<\/a> and his wife Lauren<\/a> are now parents of five<\/a> \u2014 and first-time parents to a son.<\/p>\n The couple announced the birth of baby boy Brave Elijah Akins on Feb. 27 with a joint social media announcement.<\/p>\n But Rhett most recently revealed that he and his wife, Lauren are going to stop having kids \u2014 either through birth or through adoption \u2014 going forward.<\/p>\n Rhett was a guest on Country Countdown USA<\/em><\/a> where he told host Lon Helton, “I don\u2019t think we\u2019re gonna have any more kids. That\u2019s always been Lauren\u2019s magic number of kids (five).”<\/p>\n But don’t for a second think that the miracle of bringing a child into this world is something that Rhett and his wife take for granted after having their son, three girls, and adopting another.<\/p>\n Rhett doubles down on the miracle of becoming a parent and also not knowing whether it would be a girl or a boy until birth.<\/p>\n “It was the coolest thing in the world not to know if it was a boy or girl. I have never been more surprised,” he says. “It was the hardest thing I\u2019ve ever done, but so worth it.”<\/p>\n Rhett says, “For some reason, we just continue to add to our lives. So many people think we\u2019re insane. My rebuttal is I think it keeps us young. I never thought I\u2019d be a new parent at 36.”<\/p>\n Read More:<\/strong><\/em>\u00a0Thomas Rhett\u2019s Grandma Facetimed Ella Langley With a Burning Question<\/a><\/p>\n “When I look 20 years down the road, I always envisioned our Thanksgiving table, and I don\u2019t think I will ever wish I had less kids,” he points out. “It\u2019s tough now to have five kids and do what I do for a living. It\u2019s not for the faint of heart. But I\u2019m over the moon and just grateful.”<\/p>\n Gallery Credit: Billy Dukes<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n Here’s a complete list of the best country concerts to take your kids to.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n Gallery Credit: Nicole Taylor<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\nHow Chaotic is it to Have Five Kids at Home?<\/h3>\n
