Country music star Luke Combs and his wife, Nicole, recently shared the touching story behind their baby boy’s name, Tex Lawrence Combs, born on June 19, 2022. Fans of the couple have been eagerly awaiting this reveal, and Nicole’s explanation adds an emotional layer to the choice.
The name “Tex” is especially significant to Luke, as it honors his great-uncle. It carries deep familial ties, reflecting the Combs’ connection to their roots. “Lawrence,” on the other hand, is a tribute to Nicole’s father, making the name a beautiful blend of both their family histories.
Before their son’s arrival, Luke had teased fans about the name, keeping it under wraps while offering some playful hints. He joked that the name “rhymes with orange” and “rhymes with purple,” adding to the mystery and excitement surrounding their baby boy. But for Luke, what mattered most was the health of their child. He shared his lighthearted take on fatherhood, emphasizing that the name didn’t hold as much weight as the well-being of his son.
Luke even joked that if his son were to come out looking like an alligator, as long as he was healthy, it wouldn’t bother him. His priorities are clear: he’s ready to teach his little one how to sing, enjoy a good cheeseburger, and, of course, dominate in the Nashville little league in the coming years. Luke’s playful nature and dedication to his future as a dad were apparent in his comments, showing just how excited he is to embark on this new chapter of fatherhood.
With a name rich in family heritage and a dad who’s already thinking about little league success, it’s clear that Luke Combs and Nicole have a bright future ahead for their son, Tex Lawrence Combs.
