Thomas Rhett is speaking about why he and his wife Lauren were struggling in their marriage when the country singer was gaining notoriety.
Thomas Rhett reveals that his relationship with wife Lauren Akins – often described as an ideal marriage – nearly 'imploded.' 'We were becoming famous at arguably the hardest moment in our personal lives,' the country star told Us Weekly. 'Adopting 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.
The journey to parenthood was exhausting. 'I’m not going to lie, there were many nights where I was like, ‘I don’t know if this paper is ever going to get signed or if we’re going to hammer down that meeting we need to have.’ Prayer got us through.'

Giving up was not an option,' Rhett said, of making his marriage work with Lauren, who he's known since they were kids. 'That thought has never crossed my mind or Lauren’s. With me being a fixer and Lauren being stubborn, we made it work. The easiest thing to do is quit. But when you don’t and you keep grinding it out, you’ll inevitably become stronger.
At 26, it was nerve-racking to portray anything that was less than ‘couple goals’ on Instagram. Now there’s no pressure to pretend we’re we’re not. We are normal people who deal with the same stuff everybody else deals with,' Rhett said. 'One of my favorite things to do is talk about how hard marriage can be and how hard it is to be a dad and raise children to be good people,' he said of parenting his four daughters: Willa Gray, 8, Ada James, 6, Lennon Love, 4 and Lillie Carolina, 2.
