Baby bliss! Thomas Rhett and Lauren Akins have welcomed a daughter.
The country singer revealed the exciting news on Instagram on Tuesday night.
Rhett also revealed that they named the baby Lennon.
"Lennon Love Akins was born at 8:30 AM on February 10th," said the caption. "It was such a joy to watch this little angel be brought into the world. My wife is just incredible through the entire birth."
He added: "Watching our kids meet Lennon for the first time was probably the sweetest thing I’ve ever seen in my whole life!

Y’all pray for us as we switch from man on man defense to zone."
