Watch Thomas Rhett’s Daughters Meet for the First Time

by Jim Casey | @TheJimCasey | August 21, 2017

Thomas Rhett and wife Lauren have had a busy summer, to put it mildly. Their family has doubled in size in three months.

The couple adopted daughter Willa Gray, 21 months, from Uganda in May, and Lauren gave birth to daughter Ada James on Aug. 12.

Along with a brief update regarding how the family is doing, Lauren posted a video on Instagram that shows the two siblings meeting for the first time on Aug. 13.

“So this is about 17 hrs post delivery & after I’d slept for the first time in about 58 hours so I’m still a bit zonked in the video, but this is when Willa Gray met Ada for the first time 💗💗I know everyone is wondering about WG & AJ and how they’re doing together 😘 honestly it’s taken WG a little bit of adjusting and she’s been staying with family and friends off & on especially when Thomas Rhett leaves because I think it’s impossible for me to recover, take care of our 2 pups and a newborn and a 21 month old all at the same time 😂 soooo Willa Gray hasn’t been around a ton the last week but don’t worry! There will be LOTS of sister time soon. And she LOVES Ada now. We’re just working on being “gentle” right now haha She’s home today and so is daddy so all is right in our world at least for a little bit 🙂 p.s. The fact that WG was showing AJ her bug bite meant she wanted to be friends with her right off the bat so we knew that was a good sign 😂 (sorry for the novel).”
