Luke Combs Cozies Up to Wife Nicole After Receiving a Standing Ovation for His Grammy Performance

Luke Combs and Nicole Hocking at the 58th Academy of Country Music Awards from Ford Center at The Star on May 11, 2023, in Frisco, Texas.

Luke Combs had a memorable night at the 2024 Grammys with his wife, Nicole Hocking, by his side.

The country crooner, 33, attended music's biggest evening at the Crypto.com Arena in Los Angeles sporting a sleek black tux.

He bypassed the red carpet but was later seen cozying up to his wife, whom he married in 2020, who was dressed to the nines to support her hubby, matching his dapper look in a strapless black gown.

Combs and Hocking's appearance at the show on Sunday, Feb. 4, comes almost six months after they welcomed their second child together, a son named Beau Lee, born in August 2023. The duo are also parents to first-born son, Tex Lawrence, 19 months.

Last year, Hocking debuted her baby bump at the 2023 ACM Awards, where Combs gave a touching performance of his song "Love You Anyway."

It was a big night for Combs, who got a standing ovation for his performance alongside Tracy Chapman, who made a rare appearance to duet her famous track "Fast Car."

Combs' version of Chapman's hit—which he released as part of his 2023 album Gettin' Old—was also nominated at this year's awards in the Best Country Solo Performance category at the 66th Annual Grammy Awards. Chris Stapleton ended up taking home the award for "White Horse."

However, the cover of "Fast Car" has already earned Single of the Year and Song of the Year at the Country Music Association Awards in November 2023, making Chapman the first Black woman to win a CMA Award.

"It's truly an honor for my song to be newly recognized after 35 years of its debut," Chapman said in a statement at the time. "Thank you to the CMAs and a special thanks to Luke and all of the fans of 'Fast Car.'"

Shortly after Combs and Chapman's epic live duet, her single reached number 1 on iTunes, nearly 36 years since its release, which she noted was "crazy."
