Words in Bold is words that I added

Personal life[edit]
Bryan is married to Caroline Boyer. The two married on December 8, 2006, and have two sons together born March 18, 2008, and August 11, 2010. '''After their first son "Thomas" was born Caroline had a miscarriage. She states, "I know it's not my fault" she still wanted to try again, and their youngest child "Tatum" was born. Caroline still thinks about her miscarriage all the time and it is one of the worst moments of her life.'''

'''Luke and his family now live in a 10000 square foot house in a Williamson County which is located just outside of Nashville. They named the house "Red Dirt Farm" after Lukes older sister Kelly passed away. Luke wanted to have his house based off of the Blackberry farm in Knoxville. So, their contractor did exactly that, he was able to make it look somewhat like the Blackberry farm but in its own unique way.'''

Early life[edit]
Luke Bryan was born in Leesburg, Georgia, to LeClaire and Tommy Bryan, who owned a peanut farm. Shortly before Luke was going to move to Nashville at age 19, his elder brother Chris "was unexpectedly killed in a car accident ... I'm kind of hyperventilating talking about it. ... You never truly ... move beyond it." His mother, LeClaire, had made a statement: "We knew Luke at some point would come to Nashville," his mother said. "But ... you can't leave your family, and ... I couldn't bear the thought of him being away."

Instead, Luke went to college at Georgia Southern University in Statesboro, Georgia, where he joined the Sigma Chi fraternity and graduated in 1999 with a bachelor's degree in business administration. '''Luke Bryan met his future wife Caroline singing in a bar in Georgia. They went on dating for a year and a half before she ended things with Luke. Both went their separate ways of Luke moving to Nashville to focus on music and Caroline went on to focus on herself. After a few years, Luke came back and was performing in a bar where they reconnected with each other.''' He initially gained success as a songwriter, but soon after signed as a performer; his first major success was "All My Friends Say".
