Thomas Rhett & Lauren Akins: Keeping Love Alive

It's March 31st. This is entertainment and celebrity news today, driven by AI, what

everyone's talking about. Country star Thomas Redd and his wife Lauren

Aikens just dropped some real talk on keeping a marriage tight after nearly 13 years

together. Their parents to five kids now, with daughters age 10, 8, 6, and 4, plus

their four-week-old son. Hitting that milestone has them reflecting on what

works when life gets busy with family. Thomas says the key shifts over time, but

one constant is treating your spouse like you're still dating even a decade in.

Kids can turn you into just co-parents or roommates if you're not careful, so

staying connected romantically keeps the spark alive. Lauren shimes in that laughter

is everything, advising not to take things too seriously and to stay best friends

through the ups and downs. It's that light-hearted vibe that helps them roll

with whatever comes. Their story goes back to elementary school in Nashville with a

first-cross path. They dated briefly at 15, split, then rekindled in 2011, leading

to marriage after six months of dating. Looking ahead to 13 years, it's clear

their foundation of friendship and fun has built a lasting bond showing how

small habits like date nights and laughs can sustain love for the long haul.
