Luke Combs and his wife Nicole have been hoping to have more babies since the birth of their son Tex in June of 2022. Nicole recently answered fan questions on her Insta stories and shared the good news with fans.

When asked by one fan, "Are you and Luke gonna have more babies?" Nicole responded, "That's the goal! We would love for Tex to have at least one sibling (heart emoji)." Another fan asked if the couple had any girl names ready, and Nicole said, "I only had girl names picked out, haha." She added, "Boy names are shockingly hard."

Luke's wife also talked about the shows the couple love to watch together; she answered one fan when asked about what they watch together, "Any and all true crime." She added, "(We) also love 'King of The Hill' and shows with the same humor."

The couple took their first trip together in early December without their baby Tex in tow. At the time, Nicole posted three photos of the happy couple. She captioned the black and white images, "Our first trip away from tex & we looked at photos of him the entire time lol."

Several fans and friends reacted to the post, including one who wrote, "I do that when I put my daughter to bed. I miss her immediately." Another fan quipped, "Hey! Nothing wrong with that! And when they're grown and gone, you'll talk about the dog like we do." One more fan commented, "Haha, love it. That's every date night for us too!"

Luke wrapped his touring for 2022 a few weeks back and sent out a message full of photos from the tour with openers Jordan Davis and Lainey Wilson on Instagram.

He posted a photo of the entire crew, pictures of him pranking Jordan Davis by buying him a lot of dirt in honor of Davis' song "Buy Dirt," and a couple of shots from the stage, one picture with a cigar in his mouth, and one of Lainey and Jordan saluting Combs. He captioned the images, "That's a wrap on The Middle of Somewhere Tour! Thanks to everyone who joined us. The fellas and I have the best time getting to play live music for y'all. Also, appreciate @jordandavisofficial, @laineywilsonmusic, and @morganwademusic for being on the road with us. Already looking forward to 2023 for the World Tour, among other things…"

Luke Combs is getting ready to release his latest album, Growing Old, later this month (3/24), and then he kicks off his world tour, which will play stadiums all over the world. That is not bad for a guy who studied criminal justice in college just over ten years ago.

As his country star continues to rise, Luke became a new dad in July of last year (2022) and has been busy helping out his wife Nicole take care of his son Tex. He also performed as a multiple nominee at the Grammy Awards show in February (2/5).

Combs celebrates his 33rd birthday today (3/2), and to honor him; we rank his 16 biggest and best songs.
