Luke Combs and Nicole Hocking began dating in 2016 after meeting at the Key West Songwriter’s Festival. After the festival, the Hocking and Combs started spending more time together and eventually began dating.

In 2018, Combs planned an elaborate proposal that ended up going south after a hectic day of moving. Weeks later, Combs and Hocking revealed their engagement with fans via Instagram.

The couple tied the knot in August 2020 after changing their wedding plans a few times due to the ongoing coronavirus pandemic. They exchanged vows in an intimate ceremony at their home in Florida surrounded by a small group of friends and family.
