“Here we go again! We’ve got some really excited big sisters in our house. God is so good,” Thomas Rhett captioned the video.
The clip begins with Lauren asking Thomas Rhett “Are you ready?” before stepping into the video frame to join him as he plays guitar. From there, the musician begins singing a bit of his 2018 song “Life Changes,” though he swaps the lyrics slightly as they announce they are expecting a new baby.
“Well I was wrappin’ my head around bein’ a dad/ A bigger wrench got thrown in the plans we thought we had/ Now Lauren’s showin’ and got one on the way/ Yeah, that’s five under 10, hey what can I say? Yeah, life changes,” he sings, as Lauren then shows off ultrasound photos and they celebrate their expanding family.
The couple’s fifth child will join four older siblings: 9-year-old Willa Gray, 8-year-old Ada James, 5-year-old Lennon Love and 3-year-old Lillie Carolina.
The news comes as Thomas Rhett’s single “After All the Bars Are Closed” spends a third week atop Billboard‘s Country Airplay chart. In July, he also headlined a sold-out show at Fenway Park on his Better in Boots Tour. He has more shows slated through October.
In just over a decade in the spotlight, he’s earned 21 No. 1 hits on the Country Airplay chart, won the ACM’s entertainer of the year accolade and picked up five Grammy nominations. His prowess as a songwriter has brought him five CMA triple play awards, each for penning three No. 1 songs within a 12-month period.
