Speaking to Entertainment Tonight, the country singer and dad of four, 34, shared that his oldest daughter Willa, 8, had a funny way of telling her dad that she liked his new album. "She said it slaps," Thomas Rhett told the outlet. "I was like, 'Where did you hear that?' I guess slaps means that it just has a good beat. I really don't know, but I received it."

Thomas Rhett Says He's 'Surrounded by the Best Moms, Stepmoms and Grandmas' as He Celebrates Mother's Day The musician is dad to four daughters, whom he shares with wife Lauren Akins — Willa, Ada, 6, Lennon, 4 and Lillie, 2. Earlier this year, the dad of four shared a series of photos to his Instagram in February as he celebrated his daughter Lennon's fourth birthday. The newly minted 4-year-old posed beside her pink Lilo and Stitch-themed cake, which featured a surfboard that read "Lelo." Other photos showed the birthday girl posing under a "Le-Lo" and Stitch sign, holding a stuffed version of Stitch and dressed in a Lilo costume. "Happy belated 4th birthday Lennon Love! I love you more than words can say. Please quit growing up so fast!" the proud dad wrote in his caption. The family of six celebrated Christmas together in December, with Thomas Rhett posting an adorable photo on Instagram. In the picture, Lauren held daughter Lillie, while daughters Lennon, Ada and Willa posed in front of the couple. "Merry Christmas Eve! From the Akins 🎄," the singer captioned the shot. The card was the result of an earlier photo shoot, which Thomas Rhett shared scenes from on Instagram. "How do you get all your kids to smile for Christmas card pictures and pretend like they are laughing when they are all on the verge of crying? Sing peaches at the top of your lungs," he captioned the video. Close
