Luke Bryan’s Household is ‘Constant Chaos’
"Our furniture is constantly getting broken and damaged, but we try not to think about it too much. It’s just life at the Bryans’. I wouldn’t want it any other way," he says.
For any parent, raising a child or children is a huge, incredible blessing… but it can also be a crazy handful! For Luke Bryan and his wife Caroline, the commotion of raising three boys is nonstop but welcome.
“It is constant chaos,” said Bryan during a recent interview with PEOPLE. “They always have seven or eight of their friends over. Our furniture is constantly getting broken and damaged, but we try not to think about it too much. It’s just life at the Bryans’. I wouldn’t want it any other way.”
The pandemonium is a result of the couple’s two sons Tatum “Tate” Christopher, 6, and Thomas “Bo” Boyer, 8½, as well as their nephew Til, 15, who moved in with them following the loss of his father two years ago (Til’s mom was Bryan’s sister who passed away in 2007).
“With young children, there are a hundred moments a day when you want to slow it down and seize the moment,” he continued. “My boys are amazing and great and perfect and precious. Til is 15 and I think he’s an inch taller than me now — he’s like 6’3″, and he’s a beanpole of a man. But I can’t wrestle with him anymore because he can throw me around pretty good. And Bo and Tate are into Nerf guns and fishing and the outdoors — all my boys are. I’ve brainwashed them quite well!””
While things have become a new normal for the Bryan family, Luke and Caroline are still learning how to navigate the parenting of a teenager, something they didn’t expect for another few years.
“It kind of just happened and I woke up one day and I’m raising a teen. And it’s a challenge because my main thing with Til is just properly giving the right amount of advice and realizing you’re talking to someone who is becoming an adult,” said the Georgia native. “I have to be that parent role where if he does something, he needs to get in trouble, but I want to be a friend to him too.”
On top of being a great father to the boys, Bryan continues to be one of country music’s top live acts. Fans can catch him on the road throughout the year headlining his own tour and hitting up fairs and festivals along the way. Click HERE to view his latest tour dates.
