Watch the video about Luke and Nicole and discover more details about Mrs. Combs and their baby boy below.
In January of 2022, Luke and Nicole announced that they are expecting a baby boy to arrive in the Spring of 2022.
Luke and Nicole welcomed their first son, Tex Lawrence Combs, on June 19, 2022. Tex, whose name reflects a blend of Southern charm and strength, has been the center of their world ever since. The couple frequently shares glimpses of their life with Tex on social media, from his adorable milestones to sweet family moments on tour. Luke has even hinted that becoming a dad has brought new depth to his music, inspiring songs that capture the joys and challenges of parenthood.
In the fall of 2024, the Combs family grew once again with the arrival of their second child, Beau Alexander Combs. Born in August, Beau’s birth came as Luke was balancing a busy touring schedule, but the couple made sure to prioritize family time. Nicole shared a heartfelt announcement on Instagram, expressing their excitement and gratitude for their growing family.
The couple got engaged in November 2018 and their engagement story is hilarious. You see, Combs decided to propose while the pair were moving into their new home outside of Nashville. Apparently their two cats, Bucc and Wix, were not happy about their change of scenery and completely freaked out during the relocation process.
“I had bought our cats new collars with our new address on them,” Combs shared via the Couple Things podcast in May. “She loves her cat more than anything in the world. He always sits on her lap on the couch, so I had had the ring and I was gonna put it on the cat’s collar, was the idea. When we got to the new house and everything, he was gonna jump up on her lap and everything.”
Things didn’t turn out as planned. Once Luke and Nicole arrived at their new place late that night, things were in disarray and Nicole’s cat peed all over the crate on the drive there. Although his proposal idea fell apart, he still wanted to pop the question.
I pretty much just told her what I was going to do,” the star shared. “He was like, ‘Okay, I got these new collars with the new address on it and oh, I also got you this,” Hocking added. “And then he pulls [the ring] out and gets down on one knee, does the whole thing. I black out. I don’t remember this.”
Obviously Nicole wasn’t expecting such a huge thing to happen during a very hectic day. As we all know, she gladly accepted his proposal! The couple just got married on August 1, 2020 during an intimate ceremony in Florida! Below is Nicole’s post about their special day.
