ET caught up with the parents-to-be at Sunday's GRAMMY Awards, and the "Die a Happy Man" musician couldn't help but gush over his wife. "I guess, when I got married, I started writing a bunch of love songs, and now here we are four years later and I'm still writing love songs about how happy we are," he exclaimed. "So I'm going to have to find some different content to write about."

Rhett isn't the first artist to adopt a child this year. Madonna recently revealed that she adopted twin girls from Malawi. Here's more on the music icon's daughters:
