Thomas Rhett and his wife, Lauren, had a big surprise for their daughters — this summer, the family will be traveling to Uganda. You might remember that is where the family adopted their eldest daughter, Willa Gray, in 2017. Rhett confirmed this will be the first time Willa has been back to the country since the adoption. Everyone is so excited for the trip, especially Willa and her dad.
Speaking of babies and exciting news, Brantley Gilbert and his wife, Amber, are expecting! The overjoyed couple made the announcement in joint social media posts. The carousel featured pictures of the couple and their eldest children, Braylen and Barrett, as well as a sonogram photo. The comments section was flooded with well wishes from friends like Jason and Brittney Aldean and Bailey Zimmerman.
