Thomas Rhett and his wife Lauren have been married for eleven years today (10/12), and Thomas posted this morning to mark the celebrated day.
Sharing three photos of the couple with their arms around each other, Thomas wrote in the post on Instagram, "11 years married to this amazing woman. I can still remember what she looked like in first grade. I still remember how much taller than me she was at church camp in 6th grade."
He continued, "I still remember picking her up on our first date at 16. I still remember how fast my heart was beating when she walked down the aisle. Basically, I remember it all so vividly. I can't believe how much life we have gotten to share together. @laur_akins, you have been and always will be my best friend."
He concluded the post, "I thank God for you every single day. I love you so much. Thank you for loving me and everyone you know so well. Happy Anniversary (raised hands emoji) you+me+4."
Many fans wished the happy couple a happy anniversary, including one who wrote, "So sweet - Happy Anniversary to u both!!" Another fan gushed, "Aww, I love y'all!!!! Y'all are the definition of true love, and it's so beautiful to see it. Y'all are goals. Happy Anniversary." One more fan commented, "I love that you love your childhood sweetheart and still do so passionately. There is something very special about that; these days, that situation isn't as common as it used to be. It's also amazing, given your lifestyle on the road, which must be tough on both of you. Happy Anniversary to you both, what a wonderful couple!!"
Rhett recently released a retrospective vinyl collection celebrating his twenty No. One hits over ten years. The album is titled 20 Number Ones.
Thomas told us recently, "To have 20 No. One is beyond wild - honestly, more than I ever could have imagined. I'm grateful to have hit this milestone, but mostly, it's just exciting to look back at this journey so far and see how these songs represent the different chapters of my life — and hopefully, the Home Team (his fan club) feels the same way."
He added, "I want to say thank you to everyone for letting me be a part of the special moments in life - it's hard to put into words what these past 10 years mean to me. Can't wait for another great 10!"
Thomas Rhett celebrates his 33rd birthday today (3/30) and is also celebrating the first anniversary of his Where We Started album on Saturday (4/1). Thomas reflects on where he and his wife Lauren started over a decade ago.
Rhett told us, "Just kinda looking back at the last decade of our lives … Shoot, 2012, when I was playing 600 shows a year, and Lauren was with me on the tour bus with nine other dudes, it felt like we were never going to get out of that. And my wife, being like, 'Man, how many times have we been to Wisconsin this year?'"
He continued, "I wake up now, and I'm like, we have four children; so much has changed in my career from just success to bigger rooms to getting to do neat collaborations with people. And sometimes you wake up, and you're like, man, today is tough. And you look back at your past, and you're like, yeah, but think about where we were. And I think whether you do music, or whatever you do, I think anyone can look back at their past, and be like man, looking at where we are now, compared to where we were, the future looks pretty bright."
