Happy Birthday, Tex; your laugh is the best part of every day. You are unbelievably loved. Time can slow down now.”

Many fans reacted to the post, including one who wrote, “Happy birthday, Tex! I can’t believe how fast the time flew by!” Another fan said, “So blessed. Boys are the best (blue heart emojis). Happy birthday, little guy.” One more fan commented, “You came into the world of stardom, and you, & your entire family deserve nothing less. Congrats to the Combs family for EVERYTHING they accomplished this past year. You are by far my all-time favorite celebrity! Congrats on 1 year of being the perfect parents!”

Nicole recently took questions from fans on Insta stories. One fan asked her if she and Luke plan on having more kids after baby number two arrives in the fall. Nicole replied, “Maybe, but I’m gonna need a slightly bigger age gap and house. lol.”

Another die-hard asked her about the couple’s infertility problems at the beginning of their marriage in 2020. She replied to how long it took them to get pregnant with Tex, “1.5 years of unexplained infertility, but you just chalk it up to the right timing for our lives.”
