Luke Combs<\/a> didn’t mince words about his top priority \u2013 family.<\/p>\n

The “Days Like These” singer would much rather trade the glitzy, schmoozy events for time at home. Combs can be a homebody when he’s not touring, playing sold-out shows.<\/p>\n

“If that means I piss off people by not hanging out with people I don\u2019t even know, so other people think I\u2019m cool, then who the f— cares?” he told GQ<\/a>. “If that\u2019s the reason I don\u2019t win a Grammy or CMA award, then f—ing do I even want one?”<\/p>\n

Combs made a promise to his wife, Nicole Hocking Combs, to be an equal partner and a present father to his kids.<\/p>\n

LUKE COMBS SAYS HE’S GIVING KIDS A NORMAL CHILDHOOD BEFORE ‘VERY STRANGE CIRCUMSTANCES’ TAKE OVER<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n

“My wife has supreme belief in me,” he said. “I could put both kids in the car right now and say, \u2018Hey, we\u2019re driving to Florida, and I\u2019m going to spend a week with the kids by myself,\u2019 and she wouldn\u2019t worry if I could take care of them.”<\/p>\n

Combs previously revealed he wants his three kids to grow up with a normal childhood before they can understand the “very strange circumstances” that come with fame. The 36-year-old father of three considers himself a “stay-at-home” dad \u2013 at least during the week between shows.<\/p>\n

“I\u2019m home four days a week, every week, full-time,” the country music star said during an appearance on “The MeatEater Podcast.”<\/u><\/a> “Sun-up, sundown most days. Getting the kids up, changing diapers, doing baths, cooking dinners, cooking lunches, cooking breakfasts. That occupies a lot of my time, but that\u2019s what I want.”<\/p>\n

“I want my kids\u2019 childhoods to feel as normal as they can given the very strange circumstances that it will ultimately become.”<\/p>\n

To create that childhood for his kids, Combs and his family live in a normal home.<\/p>\n

“We live in a 2,000-square-foot house. It\u2019s two bedrooms,” the musician said. “Me and my wife have a room, and the boys share a room. We\u2019re always close together, we\u2019re always tight in there.”<\/p>\n

The most normal thing Combs can teach his kids is responsibility, which the “Fast Car” singe<\/u><\/a>r said is a priority in his household.<\/p>\n

“The living room is the playroom. All the kids\u2019 toys are in there. We let them destroy it. But every night, ‘Alright, we\u2019re all cleaning up now,'” Combs explained. While his kids are still a little too young to actually help out much, Combs said they understand.<\/p>\n

Combs met his wife<\/a> and mother of his three children by chance. The two first crossed paths at the 30A Songwriters Festival in January 2016 despite both living in Nashville. After returning home, Combs and Nicole shortly began dating.<\/p>\n

“I could tell she was different than anybody I had ever met,” Combs later told Nashville Lifestyles.<\/u><\/a><\/p>\n

Nicole added, “I realized we could hang out and just be ourselves in front of each other. I could wear no makeup and be my weird self \u2013 because we’re all weird, but we get to choose who to share that side of us with. We could be each other’s weird in front of each other. That’s when it was like, ‘You know what? This guy’s a keeper.'”<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
