Luke Combs Says His Parents Did a ‘Great Job’ Raising Him
Over the years, Luke Combs has talked a lot about being an only child. He has also talked about what he learned from his parents and what he is passing down to his young sons Tex and Beau.
A few years ago, Luke talked to me about his parents, Chester and Rhonda Combs: “I got a hard-working attitude, and I’ve always been a benefactor of making the best of whatever situation you’re in. I learned that from them as well, and to be smart about the way you spend your money, the things that you get, and how you operate as kind of a family unit.”
Combs is proud of what they instilled in him from a young age. He offered, “You know, they did a great job raising me; I feel like they did. And so I’m just thankful for years of advice and a bunch of love from them as well.”
Which parent instilled in him a good personality and the gift of gab? The country superstar told me, “I think it’s a little bit of both. I think my mom is a big talker. She loves to talk, be around people, and make people happy. So I got that from her. And then my dad is a big conversationalist.”

Combs walked through the Country Music Hall of Fame with his wife Nicole by his side to check out the newest exhibition last week (7/10), Luke Combs: The Man I Am.
The exhibit traces Combs’ story from singing with his school choirs in North Carolina to headlining stadiums around the world. The exhibit opened Thursday (7/11) and runs until June 2025.
Before he checked out his exhibit, Luke spoke to us, and a small crowd of gathered Nashville media about how his country music dreams became a reality.
Combs said, “My whole career, I feel like I am surrounded by wonderful people who care about me as a person. I feel like we have gotten to achieve so many things together, Things that I never would have thought were possible.”
He added, “I’ve been in this room (CMHOF Rotunda) so many times just standing around looking at all the names that are in here and walked through this museum many, many times, and one or two times completely alone looking at Merle Haggard’s boots or Keith Whitley’s motorcycle.”
Luke concluded, “So I just want to say thank you to everybody here because without these people in this room, I wouldn’t be here. Nobody goes it alone, especially in this business.”
