Luke Combs Reveals How Much Weight He’s Lost Amid Health Journey originally appeared on Parade.
Luke Combs offered an update on his weight loss transformation.
While promoting his new single, “Back in the Saddle,” the country singer, 35, revealed exactly how many pounds he’s shed amid an ongoing focus on his health.
“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,” he told his followers in a Thursday, July 24, Instagram Story video. “Good day. Great day to be alive. Kid’s down 30 lbs. Lot of hard work. Lot of missed cakes on birthdays.”
In recent years, Combs has been forthcoming about his weight loss journey, noting in a 2022 appearance on Zane Lowe’s Apple Music 1 podcast that his sons — Tex, 3, and Beau, 23 months, whom he shares with wife Nicole Hocking — inspired him to get healthy.

“This having a kid thing has really messed up my head on [my health] in the best way,” he explained at the time. “I want to be around, dude.”
The following year, Combs reflected on his lifelong issues with his weight.
“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,” he said on Joe Rogan’s podcast in 2023. “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.”
He added: “And it’s this thing that I feel like if I don’t overcome it in my lifetime, it will be my biggest regret, without a doubt. … It is a burden that weighs so heavily on me.”
Combs emphasized that his concern was not “because I care what other people think about me, about the way I look, about my size or any of that.” Rather, it stemmed from “what I feel like it means about me as a man.”
“Because there’s this thing that I wanna accomplish that is solely up to me, nobody else can do it for me, nobody did this to me,” he concluded. “I want so badly to conquer that, and I will.”
