In her own post celebrating their daughter's birth, Akins said the family "couldn't be more over the moon about our littlest joy 🤍."

"If He dresses the lilies with beauty and splendor How much more will He clothe you? If He watched over every sparrow How much more does He love you?" she added in the caption of a photo of herself and the newborn.

The couple also shares daughter Lennon Love, 21 months.

Though he admittedly was "surprised" to learn he and Akins were having a fourth daughter, Thomas Rhett said he was plenty prepared.

"I feel like I've got the ropes down as to what that looks like, being a dad to a girl. So when I found out we were having a fourth, I was like, well, we've already got the clothes, I know how to do this, this is just round four of it," he told PEOPLE this summer.

"My girls are my whole world and there truly is nothing more special than being a dad of beautiful little girls and something that I take a lot of pride in," he continued. "It's going to be a wild and chaotic next 25 years, but I'm ready to embrace it."
