Thomas Rhett’s Advice For Other Artists Who Have Kids

As a father of four daughters who are 9 ½, 7 ½, 5 and 3 ½, Thomas Rhett has learned a lot about parenting over the past nine years.

There are lots of babies in county music with Shay Mooney and Jordan Davis joining the “father of four” club in 2025, and Lauren Alaina expecting her first child this year.

So what wisdom would Thomas share that he’s learned about being a parent, or even what product recommendations?

“I think the biggest lesson that I’ve learned is that being a parent is freakin’ hard. It’s the hardest thing I’ve ever done in my life. And I think that learning that each phase of your baby or babies’ lives, it truly is a season. Right? So, it just so happens that all of our kids are in different seasons of life, which means navigating four seasons of life for me and Lauren. And I think you think that, ‘God, if we can just get past this season, we will be in such a better spot.’ But then, now they’ve got homework that you don’t understand, and like, they’re starting to do math, not the way that I did math when I was little. And so, it’s like, then you take that season as it comes and you pour your heart and soul into that season and then you prepare for the next one, and that’s what life is as a whole. And so, I think when it comes to babies you go, ‘Okay this is a season. It feels like it’s lasting in eternity, but it will end and something else will come.’ And just having a joyful heart about it rather than immediately going into panic mode. And also, get a Doona. It’s a car seat that also folds out into a stroller. Game changer.”
