She’s here – Thomas Rhett and his wife Lauren Akins welcomed their third daughter Lennon Love Akins at 8:30 am on Monday, February 10.
The superstar took to Instagram to introduce fans to his littlest love late Tuesday night.
“It was such a joy to watch this little angel be brought into the world,” the now-father of three shared. “My wife is just incredible through the entire birth?? watching our kids meet Lennon for the first time was probably the sweetest thing I’ve ever seen in my whole life! Ada James and Willa Gray are going to be the best big sisters on the planet. The Lord is so good and I’m so grateful for my beautiful growing family!! Y’all pray for us as we switch from man on man defense to zone.”

The beloved country music couple first announced Lauren’s pregnancy in July on Instagram with an adorable photo of their growing family. The snap showcased the country star and daughters Willa Gray and Ada James embracing Lauren’s baby bump near their backyard pool.
“Excited to share that I will now be paying for 3 weddings,” Rhett wrote. “I feel so blessed to say that our third child is on the way and it’s a girl!! I love you so much @laur_akins. WG and AJ, y’all are gonna be the best big sisters! Bring on the crazy.”
Since then, the family has been busy preparing for their daughter’s arrival. In the fall, they relocated to a larger home in preparation for their new addition.
“We are about to move into a new house,” Rhett recently shared with CMT’s Cody Alan at the time. “We physically don’t have any more rooms for a new baby!”
Thomas Rhett will be able to enjoy some downtime with his girls before hitting the road on his Center Point Road Tour, which kicks off May 29 in Gilford, New Hampshire.
