Thomas Rhett will always cherish the time in his life that he became a father.
The award-winning country star and his wife, Lauren Akins, his childhood sweetheart whom he married more than a decade ago, are parents to four adorable young girls: Willa Gray (7), Ada James (6), Lennon Love (3) and Lillie Carolina, turning 2 in November.
The “Where We Started” star took a moment to stroll town “memory lane,” including some of the most iconic hits spanning his career. He recently reflected on his 2014 project, Life Changes, a 14-track album that went hand-in-hand with some of Rhett’s biggest life milestones. He said he “became a dad during this one, so it’s always going to be my favorite.”
Life Changes include the title track, “Craving You” with Maren Morris, “Unforgettable,” “Sixteen,” and other fan-favorites. Rhett’s reflection of the album comes as he marks 20 No. 1 hits throughout his career (he's also recently revisited some of his deep cuts that he wishes would have been singles, including “Whatcha Got In That Cup” from his self-titled EP and first-ever full-length album, It Goes Like This).
