Thomas Rhett (TR) and his wife Lauren were married October 12, 2012, which means this Tuesday they’ll be celebrating their ninth wedding anniversary. The two met in elementary school and briefly dated in high school, but Thomas says, “I think if you would’ve asked Lauren when she was like 17 years old if she would marry a country singer, her answer probably would have been, absolutely not. But somehow we made our way back to each other.”
Lauren went to college and got her degree in nursing, but opted to put her dreams on hold to support TR and his dream. For example, Thomas says, “She spent the entire first year of my road life on the bus with me and eight of my band members, and has seen probably 6,000 of my concerts and has just put up with me as a person through all this stuff.”
On social media, fans often tag comments about TR and Lauren with #couplegoals, but he says, “I just want people to know that our life is not this fairytale land at all times. You know, we have our ups, we have our downs, but it’s just about like sticking with each other through the thick and the thin, and how much she’s had to sacrifice and how much we both had to sacrifice to make this whole thing called music work.”
Nine years later, Thomas and Lauren have three little girls – Willa Gray, Ada James and Lennon Love, and a fourth one on the way next month. Thomas has said he’s leaning toward the name Georgia for the fourth baby but nothing has been finalized just yet.
