Thomas Rhett and Lauren Akins: Anticipation for Baby Number Five
Thomas Rhett and his wife Lauren Akins are expecting their fifth child in early 2026. While they have chosen to keep the baby's gender a surprise until birth, fans have been speculating based on an old wives' tale. Some believe that the way Akins is carrying the baby, with a high bump, indicates that they may be having a boy. However, there are conflicting beliefs about whether a high bump signifies a boy or a girl, with different sources offering different interpretations. Despite these theories, the University of Utah Health states that the size or shape of the pregnancy bump cannot determine the baby's sex.
Thomas Rhett and Lauren Akins currently have four daughters, three biological daughters named Ada James, Lennon Love, Lillie Carolina, and one adopted daughter named Willa Gray. Rhett has expressed his desire for a son but is ultimately grateful for whatever blessing they receive. The couple has always envisioned having a large family, and the question remains whether they will try for a sixth child if this one is another girl. Rhett, known for his jacked-up truck, has no plans to switch to a dad-car, and Akins drives a large Jeep SUV to accommodate their growing family.
As the anticipation builds for the arrival of their fifth child, fans continue to speculate about the baby's gender. Despite the old wives' tale and the excitement surrounding the possibility of a boy, only time will reveal the true surprise for Thomas Rhett and Lauren Akins.
