Thomas Rhett and his wife Lauren have an interesting celebrity couple they hang out with and that's Ashton Kutcher and his wife Mila Kunis.

According to Thomas, the two first met when he played the Stagecoach Festival in Southern California, which is a festival Ashton attends frequently.

He says, “From that we kind of spurred a relationship. And I remember him and his wife Mila Kunis invited me and Lauren to dinner one night in L.A. And we’re sitting there going, ‘Are we seriously about to go to dinner with them?’ Like, 'This is nuts.'”

He continues, "It was just one of those things where before we walked in we’re like crossing our fingers like please be as cool as we think you are. And we walked in and just immediately hit it off and we’ve gotten to become decently close with them. But I never in a million years would’ve dreamed that one of my favorite actors would have been a fan of mine without ever meeting him before.”

It's been a big week for Rhett who just released his brand new single, “Look What God Gave Her,” which is already in the top twenty on the country charts. He performed the song over the weekend on Saturday Night Live.

He also revealed that his new album, which is available for pre-order now, will be called Center Point Road and will be released on May 31.
