Big baby news from one of country music’s favorite families!

Thomas Rhett and his wife, Lauren Akins, have announced they’re expecting their fifth child in early 2026. The couple hasn’t revealed the baby’s gender just yet, but that hasn’t stopped fans from speculating online—some even pointing to an old wives’ tale based on how Lauren is carrying this pregnancy.

The growing family already includes four daughters, and Thomas Rhett has made it clear he’s excited no matter what this next chapter brings. In true TR fashion, he even joked about the possibility of a sixth child down the road—because why not?

Whether it’s another girl or their first boy, one thing’s for sure: the Rhett-Akins household is full of love, laughter, and plenty of country chaos.

Congrats to Thomas and Lauren on baby number five! 💛👶🎶
