Lauren Akins, wife of country music star Thomas Rhett, announced the birth of their fifth child, Brave Elijah Akins, on February 27th. The baby boy arrived nearly two weeks ahead of schedule, weighing almost 10 pounds. Rhett was praised by Akins for his unwavering support during labor and delivery.
The couple, who married in October 2012, are already parents to four daughters: Willa Gray, adopted in May 2017; Ada James, born in August 2017; Lennon Love, born in February 2020; and Lillie Carolina, born in November 2021.
In August 2025, Rhett and Akins revealed they were expecting their fifth child, with Rhett humorously updating his song "Life Changes" to reflect "five under 10." Rhett had previously indicated in early 2024 that they were content with four children but hadn't ruled out a fifth.
