“Excited to share that I will now be paying for 3 weddings,” the 29-year-old singer captioned his post on Instagram of himself and his family, with a joking emoji, per People magazine in a piece published Tuesday. (RELATED: Celebrate Kate Upton’s Birthday With These Unforgettable Shots [SLIDESHOW])

The “Marry Me” hitmaker and Akins are already parents to daughters Ada James, almost 2, and 3 1/2-year-old Willa Gray.
In an earlier post, Lauren shared a video on her social media account in which she announced that they were once again expecting a little girl with the shooting of cannons that revealed pink smoke.
“We decided we didn’t have enough princess dresses around the house so we’re adding another Akins baby girl to the family early next year,” Lauren wrote. “Despite Thomas Rhett’s initial shock (swipe to see video) we are absolutely over the moon for our baby girl! Our girls cannot wait to meet their little sister.”

The “Die a Happy Man” singer and Lauren were childhood friends and decided to tie the knot in 2012. In Feb. 2017, the happy couple shared the news that they were expecting their first child and had started the process of adopting a child from Africa, Willa.
“The moment we look at our calendars, it really does stress us out,” the country singer shared in 2017. “But if Luke Bryan and Jason Aldean can do it, we can do it!”
“It’s not like there ever is a perfect time to have kids, or a perfect time to put out a record,” he added. “We just happen to be doing both at the exact same time! We keep going back to ‘Take it one day at a time.'”
