Luke Combs is a three-time Grammy Award nominee and six-time CMA winner, but around his house, you’d never know it.
The “Lovin’ on You” singer recently gave fans a peek inside his personal life with his wife, Nicole, and their two kids, Tex, 2, and Beau, 20 months. In an appearance on “The MeatEater Podcast,” Combs, 35, explained that he wants his kids to grow up in as normal a home as possible.
“We live in a 2,000-square-foot house. It’s two bedrooms,” he said on the episode released Monday, April 7. “Me and my wife have a room and the boys share a room. We’re always close together, we’re always tight in there.”
It’s not just that Combs lives in a fairly ordinary home — he expects his kids to learn responsibility, just like anyone else.
Luke Combs and wife Nicole Combs are creating their perfect country love story — one baby at a time! The “Beer Never Broke My Heart” singer married Nicole in August 2020 after four years of dating. In January 2022, the couple announced they were expecting baby No. 1 later that year. Their son Tex Lawrence […]
“The living room is the playroom. All the kids’ toys are in there,” he continued. “We let them destroy it. But every night, ‘Alright, we’re all cleaning up now.’ Mom and dad are cleaning up, but to the extent that a one-and-a-half-year-old [can], he’ll get a block and bring it over. He might only pick up two things but my two-and-a-half-year-old now, he can actually make a 5 percent dent in the cleanup. But he understands.”

Combs added that when one of his kids spills their milk, he hands them a paper towel, and even if they can only soak up a tiny fraction of it —“We go back behind him and actually clean it up” — he wants them to understand the responsibility.
It may seem strange for someone who plays stadium concerts on the weekends to think of himself as a “stay-at-home parent” during the week, but that’s how he sees it.
Luke Combs and his wife, Nicole Combs, are officially the parents of two. Nicole announced via Instagram on Thursday, August 31, that she gave birth to the pair’s second baby. “8.15.2023 – Beau Lee Combs. Welcome to the world. We couldn’t love you more,” she captioned the reveal, which showed her writing the newborn’s name […]
“I’m home four days a week, every week, full-time,” he said. “Sun up, sun down most days. Getting the kids up, changing diapers, doing baths, cooking dinners, cooking lunches, cooking breakfasts. That occupies a lot of my time but that’s what I want. I want my kids’ childhoods to feel as normal as they can given the very strange circumstances that it will ultimately become.”
Combs does what he can, but sometimes, the life of a country star just gets in the way. In June 2024, he opened up about missing Beau’s birth because he was touring in Australia.
“I’ll never forget the craziest day, probably, in my life — close to it,” he shared during an appearance on The Zane Lowe Show. “One of the best and one of the worst days in my life at the same time.”
“I probably woke up at around 8:00 a.m. or something like that, Australia time, and I had a text from my wife and it said, ‘I’m so sorry, I really tried to not have the baby while you’re gone,’” he added. “And God, dude, it sucked.”
Combs clarified that with the help of technology, he was able to see Beau from across the world, almost as soon as he was born.
