Luke Combs and his wife Nicole recently celebrated their oldest son Tex’s second birthday with a cake that would make any country kid’s dreams come true. The cake, adorned in John Deere green icing, featured mini crop patches, ears of corn, and a toy front-end loader, perfectly capturing the essence of a budding little farmer. The cake’s message, “Happy Birthday Tex,” was written in white letters, and the photo Nicole shared on social media also showed a couple of other toy construction vehicles alongside the cake.
Nicole’s post was a delightful roundup of June’s highlights, including bouquets of flowers, golf outings, and a charming family photo featuring the couple and their two young sons posing in front of a real-life tractor. While Luke and Nicole Combs tend to keep their children’s lives private, rarely sharing their faces or daily activities online, Tex’s birthday cake offers a glimpse into his apparent love for farm vehicles.
Tex was born on June 19, 2022, and the Combs family welcomed their second child, a son named Beau, just over a year later in August 2023. Beau’s arrival was a bit earlier than expected, coming two and a half weeks before his due date while Luke was overseas on an international tour. The singer has openly shared the emotional difficulty of missing Beau’s birth, recounting how he woke up to a text from Nicole, who was in labor. “He wasn’t born yet, but my wife went and she texted me on the way to the hospital,” Combs recalled. “I was supposed to be home and I wasn’t, and that was real hard to do.”
Fatherhood has become a significant part of Luke Combs’ life, influencing his music as well. His latest album, “Fathers & Sons,” is a heartfelt project filled with “dad songs” that reflect his experiences and emotions as a father.

In addition to his family life, Luke Combs is also making waves in the Nashville entertainment scene. He is set to open his own bar in Nashville’s Broadway district, named Category 10, a nod to his debut single “Hurricane.” The bar, which will be the largest entertainment venue on the strip, will feature the area’s biggest dance floor and rooftop, along with more intimate spaces for young, talented singers and songwriters.
Luke Combs’ journey as a father and a country music star continues to captivate fans, and Tex’s birthday celebration is just one of the many heartwarming moments that highlight the singer’s dedication to his family and his roots.
