Being an internationally successful country star may bring its own rewards, but it can also be hard on children.

In an interview with Zane Lowe he recounted this eventful tale.
Fathers & Sons was inspired by that day; its themes continue to surface in Combs’ discography as an underlying thread. His songs speak about real-life struggles as you age: you can no longer stay out late and your children grow faster than expected.
Combs rarely shares pictures of his children, but recently posted an adorable carousel of them including walks with Tex, guitar lessons with Beau, and snuggle time. Nicole Combs and Combs’ daughter Jade make sure it’s evident that their children come first in life.
