Country music singer-songwriter Luke Combs is happy his family treats him the same despite his success. More on the Combs family here!
Country music star Luke Combs has experienced a meteoric rise on the Nashville scene, but the North Carolina native insists that his family life hasn’t changed besides not getting to see his extended family as frequently.
“It’s no different than when I went home five or six years ago,” Combs confessed during a recent press conference. “I went and visited my grandma, and most of my whole mom’s side of my family, who I grew up around, still live in Charlotte.”
“So I went over to my grandmother’s, and she still watches her soap opera every day at noon. Like, I came in and she was like, ‘Well, what do you want for dinner? Do you want Chinese food or burgers?’ It was the same as when I was living there playing open mic nights,” the hit-maker explained. “They treat me no differently.”
Combs is thankful that his family life hasn’t dramatically shifted since hitting it big and appreciates not being treated any differently.
“It’s really nice to go there and just feel like one of the cousins at the Thanksgiving dinner,” Combs shared. “I try not to talk about music. If it comes up, it’s fine, but most of the time, we just hang out and around the new little cousins and stuff. It’s fun to go home.”
We hope Combs gets plenty of chances to enjoy some quality time with his family and girlfriend Nicole Hocking because his schedule for 2019 is busy! The star’s Beer Never Broke My Heart Tour with LANCO and Jameson Rodgers opening kicks off in January.
Despite playing it cool, the Combs family is certainly supportive of Luke’s career.
“Oh, mom always loves the show, man,” the star shared with ABC during his 2018 Don’t Tempt Me with a Good Time Tour. “I think mom’s more famous than me, honestly, at the gigs, man. She’s out dancing up and down the aisles and stuff… She’s awesome. My parents have always been super-supportive.”
So keep your eyes open for Ma and Pa Combs– there’s a chance the both of them will be in the crowd…
