Luke Combs Welcomes Son Chet Wiley: Family First Amidst Madden Bowl Withdrawal
Country music star Luke Combs and his wife, Nicole, welcomed their third child, a son named Chet Wiley Combs, on February 19, 2026. The couple shared the news with intimate family photos, showing Chet meeting his older brothers, Tex Lawrence (3) and Beau Lee (2). Despite being born earlier than his due date, the family had been enjoying newborn snuggles at home for a few weeks already.
Chet's early arrival led to Luke Combs withdrawing from the Madden Bowl lineup during Super Bowl weekend, citing family as his top priority. The couple opted to keep the baby's gender a surprise throughout the pregnancy, a departure from their previous reveal parties for their first two sons. The unexpected timing of Chet's birth allows Combs to spend quality time with his family before embarking on his My Kinda Saturday Night Tour starting on March 21 in Las Vegas.
Fans can anticipate Combs' upcoming album, The Way I Am, to reflect his evolving family life. The album includes the track "Days Like These," which was featured in his initial pregnancy announcement last fall. The addition of baby Chet to the Combs family is sure to inspire new music and experiences for the talented singer-songwriter.
