Thomas Rhett and his wife Lauren are expecting their fifth child, but their family grew by 8 paws as the crew welcomed their new dogs, Nero and Moose.
In a post-Christmas message to fans on Instagram, Rhett shared that they welcomed Nero back in September shortly before their dogs Kona and Cash both passed away. And their newest furry friend, Moose, was a Christmas day surprise from Santa. He wrote, "It’s the most wonderful time of the year because we know that HOPE HAS COME. Grateful for our growing family and our 2 new puppies! Nero joined our family in September and he got to know and live with Kona and Cash for a little while before they went to heaven and we believe they passed on the family dog responsibilities to him :) He feels like he’s been with us forever already🖤 and Santa brought us (not so) little Moose💚❤️ our family is chaotic and loud most moments of the day and our hearts are so full."
Thomas added of how Lauren is doing in the midst of her pregnancy, "Lauren’s ankles are so swollen-almost ready for baby number 5 to be here 💕🩵💕 Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!"
In another video posted to TikTok, Thomas gave a closeup look at Moose, who was busy eating some puppy food, before the country star told him, "Let's get you potty-trained."
Welcome Nero and Moose!
