Thomas Rhett Now Has Five Kids — Will He Have Any More?

Thomas Rhett and his wife Lauren are now parents of five — and first-time parents to a son.

The couple announced the birth of baby boy Brave Elijah Akins on Feb. 27 with a joint social media announcement.

But Rhett most recently revealed that he and his wife, Lauren are going to stop having kids — either through birth or through adoption — going forward.

Rhett was a guest on Country Countdown USA where he told host Lon Helton, “I don’t think we’re gonna have any more kids. That’s always been Lauren’s magic number of kids (five).”

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.

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.

“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’ve ever done, but so worth it.”

How Chaotic is it to Have Five Kids at Home?

Rhett says, “For some reason, we just continue to add to our lives. So many people think we’re insane. My rebuttal is I think it keeps us young. I never thought I’d be a new parent at 36.”

“When I look 20 years down the road, I always envisioned our Thanksgiving table, and I don’t think I will ever wish I had less kids,” he points out. “It’s tough now to have five kids and do what I do for a living. It’s not for the faint of heart. But I’m over the moon and just grateful.”
