Luke Bryan Celebrates Son Bo's Birthday
The country singer and his wife Caroline have a son named Bo.
Luke Bryan's newest social media message, which included a poignant homage to a family member near to his heart, startled many.
To commemorate his birthday, the country singer and American Idol judge shared a photo of himself with his oldest son Thomas "Bo" Bryan on Instagram.
Sitting in Luke's dressing room with him, the two looked quite identical, both wearing baseball hats, and he wrote: "Bo Bryan, happy birthday! Already 14 years old. Please, time, slow down. I'm in love with you."
Several others took emotional birthday sentiments for Bo in the comments area, with Jason Aldean writing: "Happy Birthday BoBo!!" Carolina just added a love emoji to her message and said, "My baby."
LeClaire, Luke's mother, also in her two cents, delightfully says: "The young man has matured.
"Many other admirers were caught aback by Bo's rapid development," she added. "Happy birthday, Bo" Happy birthday, Bo!" said one person, who was joined by another who exclaimed, "In the blink of an eye, they'll convert you into a grandfather!!" "He'll be all grown up before you know it, Luke, he looks just like you," one person commented.
Luke has five children: two boys, Bo and Tatum "Tate," whom he shares with his wife Caroline, as well as a nephew and two nieces, Til, Jordan, and Kris, who are the children of Luke's late sister Kelly, who died in 2007, and her husband Ben "Lee" Cheshire, who died in 2017.
The country singer previously told People about how he stayed strong for his niece and nephews when their parents died.
"I've had so many misfortunes in my life... Chris, Kelly, and Lee, [my brother], may have rearranged some jigsaw pieces to make my life so fortunate.". 'Thank you for caring about us down here,' I had to say in my prayers at night."
Luke Bryan's rural inspirations come easily to him: he grew up in Leesburg, Georgia, a little town 100 miles from the Alabama border where his father worked as a farmer and sold fertilizer. Bryan grew up helping his family on the farm, but it wasn't until he was in his early teens that he discovered his love for country music, drawing inspiration from his parent's record collection.
