Luke Combs Reveals How He Met Nicole Hocking & How his Proposal Didn’t Work Out as Planned

Luke Combs took to Instagram for a Q&A session – and one of the questions Combs answered was how he and his wife, Nicole, met.

Combs revealed that he met Nicole Hocking at a songwriters festival in 2016 when she saw him across the crowd and asked him to join her and her friends.  Combs hadn’t had his big break, yet.  But their relationship took off, with his song about Hocking, “Beautiful Crazy.”

When it came to Combs’s proposal to Hocking, it didn’t quite work out as planned.  He had wanted to put the ring around Nicole’s cat’s collar…  But, the cat had an accident, on the way to their home…  So, he ended up proposing in their new kitchen, in 2018.

The couple redid the proposal during their trip to Hawaii, and married in 2020.
