Lauren Akins Relationship With Thomas Rhett

Lauren and Thomas’s love story goes way back to when they were first graders. They attended the same church, became close friends. Eventually, they dated for a brief period, which did not work out. So they broke up and remained as friends.
It was in 2011 when their relationship took a turn over. Thomas was invited to attend Lauren’s sister’s graduation party when her father gave Thomas a little push he needed with a little bit of threat for their patch-up. With success, they again started to go out.
In December 2011, Thomas proposed Lauren in her favorite restaurant with the help of his mother. He went with a standard and lovely way by writing ‘Marry Me’ on a bottle of wine. Lauren answered by writing ‘Yes’ on the same bottle, which concluded their engagement.
A year later, they tied the knot on 12 October 2012, spending their honeymoon at Oahu. On 12 May 2017, they adopted a baby girl from Uganda, Willa Gray Akins (born 1 November 2015). They also have a biological daughter named Ada James Akins (born 12 August 2017). They welcomed their daughter Lennon Love Akins in 2020.
