It’s Dubs Throwback Thursday Pic Of The Week, and this week we’re going back to 2015. I was fortunate enough to be able to go to Nashville and broadcast live from the 2015 CMA Awards. It was such a cool experience. I did my part of the morning show from Nashville, and then after the morning show was over I got to interview artists for a few hours. One of the artists I had the chance to talk to was Thomas Rhett.
I was pretty excited about that, I’ve been a big Thomas Rhett fan for a while. This was going to be my first chance to talk to him. Thomas Rhett was coming to Kicks99’s Guitar Pull in 2015, so of course we talked about that. Also I found out that Thomas Rhett was a huge fan of James Brown. I made sure to inform Thomas Rhett that not only was Augusta the home town of James Brown, but that he would be performing at the James Brown Arena.
If you want to see the video from the interview I did with Thomas Rhett you can see that here.
Here’s the picture that Thomas Rhett and I took that day. This was pre beard Dub, and before Thomas Rhett grew his hair and beard out. We look about the same as we do now, just a little younger.
GALLERY: Thomas Rhett And Wife Lauren Pause The Baby Train
Thomas Rhett and his wife Lauren have four daughters who are all under kindergarten age, and according to Thomas, the couple is going to hit “pause” on having more kids for now.
He told CMT recently, “I think Lauren and I were really honest with each other and were like, ’Let’s take a pause for four or five years and kind of get the hang of what this is going to look like.’”
Rhett did say that the couple’s oldest daughter Willie Gray, who is six and was adopted, talks about adoption all the time. He offered, “Adoption is 100 percent on our brains in the next four to five years. We would love to do that. It’s been put on our hearts very heavily to do that again; we just don’t know when.”
Thomas also said not too long ago that he wants a big family, but added, “We’ll see what happens.”
We take a look at the many red carpet photos the couple has taken over the years and note how many of them show a pregnant Lauren.
