Luke Combs has voiced how fatherhood has changed his thoughts regarding his health and future.

The country star, who is married to Nicole Combs, 33, is a father of two boys, Tex, Beau and a third baby on the way.

Notably, the 35-year-old earlier shared his priorities of losing weight to be healthy for his wife.

While speaking about his drive as he gets older, the singer previously marked, "I want to be around ... I’m fine right now, my cholesterol and my blood pressure [are] fine because I’m a younger guy."

However, he explained in a 2022 interview on The Zane Lowe Show, "by the time I’m 45, [they're] not going to be because of the shape that I’m in." 

During his appearance on The Joe Rogan Experience in 2023, he candidly opened up about his struggles with weight since childhood. 

“I think my physical fitness and my appearance and my size has always been something that I struggled with, from the time I was a child,” 

The Grammy-nominated star further punched, “And it’s this thing that I feel like if I don’t overcome it in my lifetime, it will be my biggest regret.”

2022 marked a significant impact on the mindset of the star, referring to his kids he marked, "I wanna be runnin' around the yard with my children… I wanna take my son on an elk hunt when he's 16 years old."

In 2024, Combs completely eliminated gluten from his diet amid learning he had a sensitivity. 

“Surprisingly, this is the least country thing I've ever said: [I'm] gluten-free now,” he jabbered, adding, “it's changed my life mentally.”

His ambition is straightforward: “Longevity is the goal.” In earlier years, Combs disclosed, celebrating “Kid’s down 30 lbs. Lot of hard work.”
