Thomas Rhett and his wife Lauren took to social media this week to mark their daughter Willa’s 6th birthday. Rhett shared a photo of a smiling Willa from what looks to be her birthday party, with plenty of balloons and decorations behind her.
“Willa Gray.. how in the world are you already 6?????” Rhett pondered in the post. “I love you more than life. You are the best big sister any sister could ask for. You make me a better person just by smiling. Your smile could light up any room. I love getting to be your daddy. Happy birthday sweet baby.”
Rhett’s wife Lauren also shared an Instagram post to celebrate Willa, who is big sister to their other daughters Ada, Lennon, and a soon-to-be-born fourth daughter. Lauren’s post featured family photos and snaps of Willa throughout the years, including a photo from the orphanage in Uganda, where Willa spent the first year and a half of her life.
“Without a shadow of a doubt you bring our family average UP Willa Gray just by shining your bright light,” Lauren wrote alongside the photos. “You are a JOY to parent and you love people so well-especially your little sisters. Your kindness is one of the sweetest gifts to this world and the last 6 years the world has been a better place by having YOU in it! Happy 6th birthday sweet angel baby! I am so proud of who you are and you are SO loved (super late post because we’ve been celebrating our girl).”
Rhett and Lauren were married on October 12, 2012 and announced that they were adopting Willa from Uganda and that they were pregnant with Ada in February 2017. The couple welcomed their third daughter, Lennon, in February 2020, and their fourth daughter is due this fall.
