The couple had just decided to stop trying to have a baby on their own and start the adoption process when Akins, 27, found out she was pregnant.
They found out while on a safari in Tanzania with Akins telling People, "It’s funny to me how we tried so hard and then we didn’t try at all and it happened! We feel like it’s all part of the plan.”
Rhett added, “I was in complete and utter shock! No one is ever prepared for something like that. It is almost like we suddenly had twins.”
He sought the advice of other country crooners saying, "I had dinner with Dierks Bentley and his wife the other night and I got a few tips from Dierks. He was like, ‘Well, you’re not going to get any sleep and Red Bull is going to be your best friend!’ ”
This year is starting strong for the couple. “We could not be happier," Akins says, "We feel like 2017 is going to be our big year.”
