In addition to being an award-winning country music star,Luke Combsis a father of two.
The “Beautiful Crazy” singer and his wife,Nicole Hocking, share two sons —Tex Lawrence Combs, whom they welcomed in June 2022, andBeau Lee Combs, who was born in August 2023.
While Combs admitted that he was“nervous” about becoming a fatherfor the first time, he was still looking forward to being a hands-on parent. “I have been [plotting] the takeover of the Nashville little league in the next five years — finding the best kids, building this unstoppable little league team,” he joked onThe Rob + Holly Show.
According to Hocking, the couple would love to have a “small army” of kids. “We decided on 4, max. But we also may stop at 2, who knows?” she wrote onInstagramin May 2023.
After he released his concept album,Fathers & Sons, in 2024, he told PEOPLE that his sons had been the inspiration behind it.
“I wanted them to be able to reference later on in their life that even at the height of my success they were stillmy number one priority,” Combs said. “If anyone’s dad had the opportunity to do something like that, I think that they would take it. At least I would hope so. I did it for them.”

“Welcome to the world. We couldn’t love you more,” the couple captioned a joint post on Instagram, which featured a Polaroid of the newborn’s feet.
Hocking gave birth two and half weeks early, so Combs, who was on tour in Australia at the time, missed being in the delivery room for Beau’s arrival.
“God, it was a hard day,” the “Fast Car” singer told Zane Lowe in June 2024. “It’s a defining moment in my life for sure. It sums up, in a lot of ways, some of the bad parts of the music business.”
In March 2023, Combs announced that he and Hocking were expecting a second son.
“Joining the 2 under 2 club!” he wrote alongside aphoto montagefeaturing Tex Lawrence wearing a “Big Brother” shirt and a preview of his new song “Take You With Me” playing in the background.
When a different fan was surprised at the modest size of their home despite Combs' success, Hocking joked that they were “basic af” and that she “low-key loved” rooming with her sister as a kid.
