As he sings, Lauren shows ultrasound images, rubs her belly and smiles, confirming the pregnancy. The couple looked happy and surprised about their growing family, which already includes four daughters: Willa Gray, Ada James, Lennon Love, and Lillie Carolina, as mentioned in the report by TODAY.

The family story began when the couple struggled with conception and adopted their first daughter Willa from Uganda. A few months into the adoption process, they found out Lauren was pregnant with their second daughter, Ada.

Thomas Rhett as a dad

In 2021, after their fourth daughter was born, Rhett joked on Instagram stories that he was “on the night shift” and described life with kids as “controlled chaos.” In April 2022, Rhett told TODAY’s Citi Concert Series that the best part of being a dad of four is “just watching them grow”, as stated in the report by TODAY.

However, he admitted his kids can be “super critical” of his music and don’t always appreciate the lyrics. Fans now wait to see if the children approve of the new “Life Changes” lyrics that announced baby No. 5.
