Thomas Rhett recentlyopened up to PEOPLEabout the moment he learned he would become a father for the fourth time, explaining that he was on a ski trip in Telluride, Colorado with Akins and friends when she began showing some familiar signs.
“We were on a ski lift and my wife kept saying that she was just feeling nauseous and somehow I convinced her it was from her face being burnt,” he said. “I was like, ‘Maybe it’s just sun poisoning.’ Or, ‘Maybe it’s this.’ And she was like, ‘I don’t know, this feels kind of different.’ "
Though he joked she might be pregnant again, Akins thought there was “no way.”
“And I was like, ‘Well, there’s definitely a way,’ " he said with a laugh. “And we went and got a pregnancy test and literally within 15 seconds, there were two pink lines on the pregnancy test… It’s just wild. We always wanted five kids, so we’re just kind of working our way there.”
The couple recently celebrated theirninth wedding anniversary, with each sharing a sweet photo and tribute to the time they’ve spent together.
