Thomas Rhett and Lauren Akins may not have a quiet house, but they wouldn’t want it any other way. The singer and his wife are the proud parents of three daughters: 4-year-old Willa Gray, 2-year-old Ada James and 4-month-old Lennon Love, meaning there is never a dull moment at home, which suits Thomas just fine – at least for now.
“I think me and Lauren have learned that our life is chaos right now, and it’s just a season,” Thomas told CMT‘s Cody Alan, calling his home a “chaotic mess.” “But, it’s been really cool being home with them. I mean, right now, I would be getting ready to get on a bus to go play our first show, which is really sad that we aren’t doing that. At the same time, I get to be home with my girls and get to watch them grow and get to watch them do things for the first time that I would have missed.”
Thomas postponed his Center Point Road Tour until 2021, due to COVID-19, and while he misses being on the road, he admits it is nice being able to spend more time with his family.
“It’s crazy, man,” the “Be a Light” singer noted. “Before we were on lockdown, it was just like, ‘Let’s put the girls in the car and take them to Chick-fil-A and let them play, play on the slide, and get a milkshake.’ We have had to be way more creative during this time.”
Thomas hasn’t spent all his time with his daughters. He has also been writing plenty of songs, even though his writing sessions with his co-writers have to happen online.
“During quarantine, I mean it’s been 60 something days, I’d probably say I’ve written 35 to 40 songs,” Thomas revealed. “I just feel like any kind of change in life can spark a new idea, and especially the same for your co-writers, because they’re going through the same stuff too So, there’s definitely no shortage of ideas during this time and I do feel very creative.”
