Thomas Rhett and Lauren Add Fifth Child to Family: 'Here We Go Again!'

Thomas Rhett and his wife Lauren Gregory Akins always planned on having five children, and they revealed their dream officially came true on Tuesday (posted August 7)

Thomas Rhett and Wife Lauren Welcome Baby Number Five - But He's Not the Only New Arrival

Country music heartthrob Thomas Rhett and his devoted wife, Lauren Gregory Akins, have just announced that their family is growing - again! The adorable couple has been blessed with a new addition to their brood of four daughters, bringing the total number of mini-me's to five. And from what we've gathered, they're over the moon about it!

Thomas, 35, and Lauren took to social media to share the exciting news, accompanied by a heartwarming sonogram image of their precious little bundle of joy. "Here we go again!" Thomas captioned the post, no doubt echoing the sentiments of his excited big sisters - Willa Gray (9), Ada James (8), Lennon Love (5), and Lillie Carolina (3). The enthusiastic dad-to-be also shared a sweet message: "God is so good!"

Lauren, 35, proudly cradled her baby bump as she gazed lovingly at the sonogram images. And it's easy to see why - with five little munchkins under the age of 10, their household must be bursting with love and laughter! The devoted mom and wife expressed her gratitude on social media: "We've got some really excited big sisters in our house."

This isn't the first time Thomas has publicly spoken about his journey as a father. In an interview last year, he confessed that becoming a dad had been life-changing: "It's chaos, but it's beautiful chaos." And we can only imagine! With four tiny terrors to wrangle at home, adding another little one to the mix must be both exhilarating and exhausting.

But Thomas isn't just a devoted dad - he's also a loving husband. Lauren has been his rock throughout their 13-year marriage, supporting him on tour as he juggles his music career with family life. In fact, in an interview with I Am Second, she revealed that she used to "resent" Thomas for his success, feeling like her own ambitions were being put on hold. However, the couple worked through their issues and even participated in a mini-intensive counseling session to strengthen their bond.

However, Thomas and the expecting 35-year-old did not reveal a due date for the future baby sibling for their four daughters - Willa Gray, 9; Ada James, 8; Lennon Love, 5; and Lillie Carolina, 3 (pictured July 4)

Now, it seems, they're more in love than ever! Thomas has been singing about his family's adventures in his music - most notably in his hit song "Well, I Was Wrapping My Head Around Being a Dad." The lyrics are a heartfelt tribute to his journey as a father, and we can't help but feel like he's pouring his heart out on every note.

So what's next for this talented duo? Thomas is set to headline Jacks Bash 3 at Dana J Dykhouse Stadium in Brookings, SD this Thursday alongside fellow country crooners Blake Shelton, Ty Myers, and DJ Blake Horstmann. We can only imagine the energy they'll bring to the stage!

And as we wait with bated breath for baby number five's arrival, let's take a look back at Thomas' journey from nepotism to superstardom. As the son of Grammy-nominated country singer Rhett Akins, Thomas had a built-in head start in his music career. But it seems like hard work and dedication have taken him a long way since then.

As for their little family's future, we can only guess what's in store! But one thing is certain: with five adorable daughters to keep them on their toes, life will never be dull for Thomas Rhett and Lauren Gregory Akins.

Lauren recalled on I Am Second: 'I remember looking at him in the closet, and after we had just screamed at each other. I said,
