Crib Note:
River House/Columbia’s Luke Combs and wife Nicole welcomed their first baby, son Tex Lawrence, Sunday (6/19). "Welp, he decided that Father's Day would be a good time to show up," Combs posted. "I couldn’t agree more. Me and [Nicole] are over the moon in love with this little guy. Mama and baby are healthy, and we’re back home now with family. Life is good." Combs announced during CMA Fest the show would be his last before becoming a father; recap in Country Aircheck Weekly.
