Country star Thomas Rhett and wife Lauren were 'internally imploding' as he skyrocketed to fame

Thomas Rhett reveals that his relationship with wife Lauren Akins – often described as an ideal marriage – nearly "imploded."

"We were becoming famous at arguably the hardest moment in our personal lives," the country star told Us Weekly. "Adopting [Willa Gray] and getting pregnant at the same time while having to be in Uganda for a year with me traveling back and forth was so challenging."

In 2017, the couple announced that they were in the process of adopting a child from Africa and also pregnant.
