“SURPRISE,” Lauren captioned an Instagram post that featured the happy parents holding her pregnant belly on May 9. ”He just couldn’t wait any longer, so @thomasrhettakins told our newest little secret onstage at @billybobstexas in Ft. Worth (my mama’s hometown) just in time for Mother’s Day. Akins family expanding in November 2021 with our FOURTH baby girl.”
Thomas also delighted in the announcement, sharing his own sweet shoutout on Instagram that night. “Well… we are pregnant again,” he wrote. “Tonight, when I was on stage in Fort Worth about to play ‘to the guys that date my girls’ my wife talked to me in my (ear monitors) and said ‘you can tell them if you want’ so anyways, now you know. We are pumped to be having our 4th girl.”
