Luke Combs makes major life announcement after taking year off from touring

Luke Combs took the year off from touring to spend with his wife and young sons.

And the next time he takes a year off from touring there will be even more family for him to spend his time with because Combs and his wife, Nicole, announced this week they have another one on the way.

“Third time’s a charm!” they shared on social media according to Country Living. “Baby #3 coming this winter.”

The couple already have Tex Lawrence, 3, and Beau Lee, 2.

No word yet as to whether this one will also be a boy, but country living noted that some fans were pulling for a girl since they already have two sons.

Combs, who was referred to as one of “country music’s hardest-touring headlining acts” coming into 2025, did perform some shows. But he greatly reduced his schedule and did not go on tour this year.

The 35-year-old told People Magazine he wanted to focus on being a good father to his sons.

“I want to be home with my kids,” he told People. “I want to see my kids grow up and I want them to know that they’re important to me.”

It’s a move that Combs told People would have been more difficult for him to make earlier in his career.

“I feel like country music for a long time has been, ‘Let’s tour every year as hard as we can tour’ while it’s hot,” he said. “But I’m now like, ‘Why can’t you tour really hard, built a really great fan base, care about them, support them, give them exclusive things, give them great experiences and let them understand that you care about them,’ and then if you do want some time for you, you can tell them, ‘I can’t tour this year.’ I wanted to get to the point where I could do that, and it not be career suicide.”
