CURRENT SINGLE: “Slow Down Summer”
Thomas Rhett and his wife Lauren will celebrate their 10th wedding anniversary in October, and after being married that long and adding four young kids to the mix, when it comes to romance, Thomas says, “It’s definitely changed a lot over the years. Before we had kids, it was like, let’s make sure we go to a nice dinner, let’s maybe watch a movie, let’s pour a glass of wine. And I think that those things still obviously happen when we do plan super in advance for a date night, but now me being romantic is really just helping, if that makes any sense.”
Through therapy and learning from his mistakes, Thomas has learned that being a full partner in his relationship is the key to romance and keeping the love alive, “Like, if something is out of place, put it up. If the kids need to go take a nap, [or] I make lunches in the morning before the kids get up to go to school, and all that kind of stuff,” explains Thomas.
As much as he is away from home for his career, Thomas says, “When I’m off the road, being super present with my kids has turned into the new romanticism. And it definitely took me a minute to figure out, but four kids later I think we’re rockin’ and rollin’.”
