Luke Combs announces birth of third child

Luke Combs is officially a father of three.

Last September, the country music star and his wife, Nicole Hocking, announced they were expecting another baby. The couple already shares sons Tex, three, and Beau, two.

Taking to Instagram on Thursday, Nicole announced that she had given birth to a son named Chet Wiley Combs earlier this month.

“Happy due date to the littlest Combs BOY!” she wrote. “We’ve loved soaking up these last few weeks of newborn snuggles.”

Nicole also shared some sweet photos showing her older boys admiring their newborn brother, as well as a close-up image of Chet’s tiny hand.

“The little hand. You really do forget how small they are,” the 33-year-old added.

Luke re-posted the adorable photoshoot to his own Instagram page.

In early February, organisers of EA Sports’ Madden Bowl confirmed that the singer-songwriter would no longer appear at the pre-Super Bowl concert as his wife was due to give birth any day.

A short time later, the 35-year-old took to his Instagram Stories to apologise to ticketholders for dropping out of the gig at the last minute.

“So sorry to miss y’all at Madden Bowl, but family always comes first,” he declared. “Have a great time.”

The Hurricane hitmaker and Nicole married in August 2020.
