Luke Combs Has Confirmed He’s Lost 30 Pounds
Country superstar Luke Combs recently shared that he’s lost an impressive 30 pounds.
On the same day his new single, “Back In The Saddle,” was released, he told his social media followers that he’s working on becoming a healthier version of himself.
“Obviously, I’ve been working real hard on this record for a long time, and I’ve got this lead single coming out. I’m just jazzed, man. Good day. Great day to be alive,” Luke said.
While Comb’s didn’t share exactly what his weight loss secrets were, he admitted there has been a lot of “missed cake.”
“Kid’s down 30 lbs. Lot of hard work. Lot of missed cakes on birthdays. But anyway, I just wanted to say that I’m real thankful for you guys, I’m real thankful for this next phase of whatever the music is or turns into,” the singer explained.
Luke’s Journey With Weight Over The Years
Luke has been open about his lifelong weight struggles, sharing that becoming a dad gave him a renewed urgency to get healthier for his family.
In 2023, the singer told Joe Rogan on his Joe Rogan Experience podcast that his weight has been a lifelong struggle.
“I think my physical fitness, and my appearance, and my size has always been something that I struggled with, from the time I was a child. And it’s this mountain that I’ve always been standing at the bottom of, trying to run up but then inherently slipping down every time, right?” Luke said.
The country star admitted during the interview that he hoped the day came he could do physical activities to the full extent with his boys, Tex (3) and Beau (1).
“And I’m excited for that day to come, because I know that will mean so much to me. I want it to mean something to my children…I wanna be runnin’ around the yard with my children. I wanna take my son on an elk hunt when he’s 16 years old and hike up a mountain when I’m in my late 40s. I wanna do that with him. And I know right now I can’t do that with him, and that bugs the s*** outta me.”
Luke Combs Releases New Single, “Back In The Saddle”
On Friday (July 25), Luke also released his new single, “Back In The Saddle,” something that the singer shared he was super “excited” and “nervous” about.
Luke described the song as symbolizing a return to what he first loved about making music: getting back in the swing of things, hitting the studio, writing again, and being excited about performing and touring.
A huge NASCAR fan himself, the official music video was filmed at Tri‑County Motor Speedway in North Carolina and features legendary drivers Dale Earnhardt Jr. and Richard Petty.
While Luke never formally announced a break, he slowed down after releasing his 2024 album Fathers & Sons, and focused on fatherhood and family life.
