Luke Combs' wish has finally come true. Becoming the highest-selling Country artist of all time? Sure. But also being surprised by his upcoming third baby.
LISTEN NOW: Luke Combs at the 59th Annual CMA Awards
Backstage at the 59th Annual CMA Awards, Combs tells Katie Neal that he wanted to be surprised about having a boy or a girl at birth for all of his children, but it wasn't until baby number 3 that Nicole finally relented.
"I wanted to do a surprise for all of them, and my wife was like, 'absolutely not, I need to know,'" says Luke. "But on the third one she was like, 'yeah, whatever.' I'm excited about the surprise."
With two boys at home, anticipation is building for the family. "Tex is 3, he's like almost 3.5, so he's potty trained and he understands the deal, and Beau just kind of follows him around. It's like, 'mama baby, mama baby,' and he just points, you know. I don't know that he really understands, but he can kind of copy whatever."
There is also that little matter of being the highest-selling Country artist of all time, which for Luke was a surprise in itself. "Kind of unexpected for sure, and I was just like, 'man, really?' I'm like, 'that's kind of wild'" he admits. "I feel like I haven't been doing this that long, you know, like, but then I have kind of at the same time, I don't know, I'm 35, I'm not like super old yet."
