Luke Combs first turned heads in May 2024 when he posed for a photo with Keith Urban. Fans noticed a noticeably slimmer frame than before. The buzz grew even more in October, when he performed at the Concert For Carolina benefit show in Charlotte. He appeared way healthier and more energised than ever. 

But it was at a North Carolina concert towards the end of 2024 that fans truly saw the full results. Luke Combs' weight loss was impossible to miss, and the change left many both surprised and impressed.

Luke Combs has been open about how . In past interviews, he admitted that fatherhood had changed him and rewired his brain in a profoundly positive way.

In 2022, for instance, Luke mentioned that the experience of being a parent had "messed up his head" in the best way when it came to his health. He explained that he wanted to be present for his child and felt a strong drive to make lasting changes.

Luke Combs' weight gain was mainly caused by his relationship with food. He admittedly likened his struggle with food to an addiction, saying it had bothered him since he was young. Although his blood pressure and cholesterol were stable, Combs said he knew his eating habits wouldn't go unpunished forever. 

On Joe Rogan's podcast in 2023, Luke talked about his ongoing battle with fitness and weight. He described it as a constant uphill struggle or a mountain he kept trying to climb, only to slip back down each time.

Luke Combs adopted a new approach to his diet to lose weight and enhance his mental clarity. He adopted a gluten-free diet and focused on whole, unprocessed foods.

Luke also shared that he made the change after seeing a doctor in Nashville and taking a food sensitivity test. The results showed a strong sensitivity to gluten.

"Surprisingly, this is the least country thing I've ever said: I'm gluten-free now," he added.

The change had a major impact on how he felt, both physically and mentally. He, however, admitted the process hasn't been easy and described the journey as long and demanding.

After his noticeably slimmer appearance, rumours began to swirl that Luke Combs had undergone weight loss surgery. However, there's no credible evidence to back up those claims. The singer himself has never mentioned or confirmed having one. All signs point to lifestyle changes, not medical intervention.

Luke Combs often credits his family as a major source of motivation, especially his two young sons. He shares his life with his wife, Nicole Hocking, and their boys, Tex Lawrence and Beau Lee. The couple got married in August 2020. Tex was born in June 2022, two years after their marriage. Their second son, Beau, was born in August 2023.

Long before his fame, Combs met Nicole Hocking at a Florida music festival for songwriters in 2016. She was working the event for Broadcast Music Inc., while he was one of the performers. Since then, their love story has grown alongside his career. 

Final word

Luke Combs' weight loss has sparked widespread attention. This is due to both the visible results and the deeply personal reasons behind his transformation.
