'Guess what we're doing tonight': Country star Thomas Rhett and wife Lauren reveal gender of baby with cake stunt
They only just announced they were pregnant on Wednesday
And instead of simply revealing the sex of the baby-to-be, Thomas Rhett and his wife Lauren got very creative with their announcement.
In a video posted to his instagram, Thomas, 26, can be seen surrounded by friends and family as he prepares to cut a blue and pink cake.
Unique! instead of simply revealing the sex of the baby-to-be, Thomas Rhett and his wife Lauren got very creative with their announcement
'We're about to find out the gender of our child,' he announces before sawing away at the multcolored pastry.
The cake apparently would feature pink internals if it was a girl and blue for a boy, and also included a quote from the popular English lullaby Twinkle, Twinkle, Little Star.
Lauren posted a picture of the cake along with the caption: '...how we wonder what you are...' along with 'guess what we're doing tonight.'
After some nervous cheers, he finally frees a wedge, which is revealed to be pink.

The country star and his wife Lauren discovered they were pregnant right as they were adopting a baby from Africa.
The delighted couple both announced the news on social media on Wednesday.
'OH BABY! actually...BABIES!' Lauren screamed in her Instagram post.

'There's a sweet baby in my belly too #adopting&pregnant #cominginhot2017' she added.

Die a happy man: The delighted couple both announced the news on social media on Wednesday. They are pictured at the Grammys on Sunday, where Rhett's Die A Happy Man was nominated for Best Country Song
The duo told People Magazine that they had actually given up trying for a baby so they could adopt, which they were in the process of doing when they got the shock news.
'I was in complete and utter shock!' said 26-year-old Rhett. 'No one is ever prepared for something like that. It is almost like we suddenly had twins.'
The singer had suggested a pregnancy test half-joking when his wife felt ill during a week-long safari in Tanzania.
'I was 100 percent sure I was not pregnant,' she said.
'When we began the adoption process, we said, 'Let's wait, let's give this adopted child his or her time with us and then we'll continue our family' — So I was convinced it was food poisoning.'
Good heart: They became interested in adopting through their work with the non-profit 147 Million Orphans; Lauren has volunteered and taken mission trips to Uganda and Haiti with them, while Thomas has raised more than a quarter million dollars for the group with a benefit gig
The 27-year-old, whose own mother is adopted, revealed they had tried to get pregnant 'for a little bit before'.
'It was a good chunk of time and our family is extremely fertile, so I was expecting it to happen easily,' she said. I was like, 'Maybe this is the Lord's way of telling me adoption is what he wants me to do'. And I was okay with that.
'It's funny to me how we tried so hard and then we didn't try at all and it happened!' Lauren says. 'We feel like it's all part of the plan.'
The couple hope to finalize their adoption well before their biological baby arrives in early August to allow time to bond.
