Thomas Rhett and Lauren Akins attend The 56th Annual CMA Awards at Bridgestone Arena on November 09, 2022 in Nashville, Tennessee. However, managing the demands of his career alongside his family life has led to several “hardships” that the couple has worked hard to overcome. There are days that are easier than others, moments of pure joy, and a lot of days that are tough.
On top of that, Rhett also plays the role of a husband and father to four daughters, which requires additional time and effort. He shared with the outlet, “We were becoming famous at arguably the hardest moment in our personal lives. Adopting [Willa Gray] and getting pregnant at the same time, while having to be in Uganda for a year with me traveling back and forth, was so challenging.
I’d go to Uganda and be a husband and dad, then return to America and focus on shows and music.” He added, “I was internally imploding, and so was Lauren. We both reached breaking points where we felt something had to give. It was not a fun time in our marriage.”
Having been together since they were 21, the couple has faced numerous ups and downs but has managed to overcome them.
Now, they understand how to work together and balance both family and career.
