Country music star Luke Combs is gearing up for fatherhood once again, and it seems the big day is just around the corner.
The acclaimed singer, who has been nominated for multiple Grammy awards, recently shared with his fans that he and his wife, Nicole Hocking, are on the brink of welcoming their third child. The anticipation is building as the couple prepares for the new addition to their family.
Originally slated to perform at the Madden Bowl concert at San Francisco’s Chase Center on Friday, February 6, ahead of Super Bowl LX, Combs had to make a last-minute change of plans. On Thursday, EA Sports announced via social media that Combs would be staying home due to the impending arrival of his baby, stating, “Luke has to hold it down at home with a new one on the way.”
Offering their support, EA Sports continued, “All love for Luke and his family — and we can’t wait to put on an unforgettable #MaddenBowl with @zachlanebryan leading an incredible night of music and football for the fans.”
Combs addressed his fans directly through his Instagram story, expressing his regret at missing the event. “So sorry to miss y’all at Madden Bowl, but family always comes first. Have a great time,” he wrote, underscoring his commitment to his growing family.
Zach Bryan will be performing as the headliner in his place.
The couple revealed that they were expecting their third child in September 2025.
“Third time’s a charm! ✨Baby #3 coming this winter 🤍”, the couple captioned a joint Instagram video post.
In the sweet clip, the parents were seen showing Nicole’s sonogram to their two other sons, Beau Lee, 2, and Tex Lawrence, 3.
Hocking, 33, announced last month that she was “Soon to be, mom of 3,” on Instagram, captioning a series of shots showing off her baby bump on a sandy beach.
They first became parents on Father’s Day in June 2022 with the birth of son Tex.
“Welp he decided that Fathers Day would be a good time to show up. I couldn’t agree more,” Luke wrote on Instagram at the time.
“Me and @nicolejcombs are over the moon in love with this little guy. Mama and baby are healthy and we’re back home now with family. Life is good,” he added.
They welcomed Beau in August the following year.
The pair tied the knot at their home in southern Florida in August 2020.
