If you follow Thomas Rhett and his wife Lauren on Instagram, then you know they are very open about sharing their personal life, including plenty of adorable family photos and pictures of their kids on social media. When asked if he’s ever considered making his life more private, Thomas says, “I feel like we have that conversation once a month. But I do feel like since the beginning of our relationship we have been pretty open books. And I think that’s why we relate so well with our fans.”
With songs like “Life Changes” and his latest single “Sixteen,” which feature very personal lyrics and references to his life, Thomas says being so open with his fans about his personal life, “It is really cool to portray your life to the people that are consuming your music because I do think it makes them relate to you on a way deeper level than just them not knowing anything about you and you dropping a song like “Life Changes,” it wouldn’t make any sense.”
Thomas also loves being able to relate to his fans on a deeper level. For instance, he says, “Even when our fans come to meet-and-greet, like parents come through my meet-and-greet all the time and can relate to raising a three and a one-year-old or all that kind of stuff.”
One reason Thomas is probably so comfortable with sharing his family with his fans is because the response has been overwhelmingly positive, with his fans loving and supporting Lauren and adoring his kids. You can follow Thomas on Instagram @ThomasRhettAkins, and Lauren is @laur_akins.
