Luke Combs has been the center of attention not just because of his storybook ‘kid next door to superstar’ life story, but also because he is a bit of a hunk.

The Weight Loss Journey of Combs and His Wife
Combs rose to stardom in late 2016, but with it came a barrage of harsh comments about his weight. Those taunts, however, were nothing new to him, since he had been bullied for his weight long before he became famous. Having said that, he began his weight-loss adventure in 2015 and was still going strong. In January 2015, he went on a strict diet for a month and shed about 12 pounds.
The musician then shut down the harsh comments directed at him once and for all in early 2017. Despite his busy schedule, Combs was able to maintain a vigorous workout routine with the support of trainer Kevin Klug. Klug is a personal trainer and the founder of Klug Fitness, according to his Instagram.
Combs momentarily adjusted his nutrition in addition to his physical fitness. After losing a football bet with his keyboard player, Neil Tankersley, he changed his diet. He, on the other hand, could not stick to the vegan diet and gave up after only 30 days.
Is it true that I kept the bet for the entire 90 days? No, I didn’t do it. After a little more than a month, I was like, “Man, I don’t really want to do this anymore.” So I made the wager with my keys player nevertheless, and I seriously considered firing him if I had to complete the entire 90-day period. So no, he didn’t mind if I gave up.
Despite his best efforts, the Lovin’ On You singer was mocked for his weight during his now-pregnancy. wife’s Nicole Combs captioned a photo of the two, “hello, you’re hot,” on Instagram.
This time, though, the teasing went too far because it was directed at their relationship. As a result, Nicole stepped up to protect her man. “To everyone now being less than friendly to me on Twitter for dating a bigger guy,” she captioned an image of a Facebook Marketplace ad for “these hands.”
Nicole Hocking, Luke’s wife, who he proposed to in 2018 and married on August 1, 2020, has likewise wanted to lose weight for a long time. However, she, like her husband, has struggled to maintain self-control and stick to her eating plan. For example, on August 2, 2017, she tweeted that she wanted to reduce weight but couldn’t give up wine and pizza.
