“Extra’s” Jenn Lahmers spoke with Thomas, who admitted, “It’s about to get so much crazier in my house, but I’m here for it.”
As for how they found out, Rhett shared, “We were skiing in Colorado a couple a months ago, we were on a ski lift and my wife was feeling very nauseous and we all kind of joked, ‘You’re probably pregnant,’ thinking that she was obviously not and two days later, we took a pregnancy test and there were two pink lines immediately.”
Thomas announced the big news at his recent concert. He said, “I was on stage in Texas last week and just decided it was time to announce to the crowd we were playing for, it was really special, my wife’s whole family was there, what a crazy thing to get to announce this year… We feel very blessed and excited.”
How does it feel to be back playing for fans in person? He answered, “It was unbelievable, I kind of forgot how much I desired and missed playing live music.”
Thomas went on, “When I walked up onstage in Texas, it felt so amazing to be able to connect with people face to face.”
