Luke Bryan’s Wife Recalls Watching His Mom “Tinkle” Right In Front Of Her Without Warning… The First Time They Hung Out: “What Do I Do?”

Well, that’s certainly one way to get to know your future mother-in-law…

Luke Bryan has been married to his college sweetheart, Caroline, since 2006. They have two biological sons, and they adopted their three nieces and nephews after his sister and brother-in-law tragically passed away.

Caroline and Luke met while in school at Georgia Southern University at a bar in the fall of 1998, when he was a senior and she was a freshman. They dated for over a year but broke up when Bryan moved to Nashville to start his music career. As fate would have it, about six years later, they just so happened to bump into each other at the same bar in Statesboro, rekindled their romance, and the rest, as they say, is history.

It’s a beautiful love story, and while I’m not necessarily a huge fan of Bryan’s music these days, every now and then I’ll see clips of them and their family on social media, and both of them seem hysterical. Caroline is always pranking people, and sometimes, she gets help from Luke’s equally funny mom, LeClaire, who is quite a personality herself.

It’s easy to see where Luke got his funny genes from when you listen to his momma talk…

And it sounds like Caroline got a real feel for what life would be likes part of the Bryan family very early on, and during an appearance on the Got It From My Momma live podcast CMA Fest a couple years ago, she recalled a wild experience the first time Luke took her back home to meet the family.

Luke comes from humble beginnings, and his father owned and ran a peanut farm when he was growing up, and their home in South Georgia only had one bathroom. So, when Caroline was getting ready for the concert in Luke’s hometown, his mom had no issues going in and just using the bathroom in front of her while Caroline was doing her hair. Mind you, it’s the first time they’d ever hung out together, and LeClaire also told Caroline she hoped she got a “horrible stomachache” because she ate all of her cashews:

“This is the absolute truth, swear on my children. The first time I went home with Luke, 19, you know, he has a show in his hometown, and he invites me. I’m like, ‘Okay.’

Well, he was busy all day, so I spent the day with her planting flowers. and then she told me I ate all of her cashews and she hoped I had a horrible stomachache. But later that night, Luke left for soundcheck, and so I’m upstairs. I take a shower, I’m drying my hair, and the bathroom door swings open and here she comes.

I’m like, ‘Hey.’ This is the first time I’ve hung out with her, and she starts talking, and then she proceeds to sit on the toilet and tinkle. I was like, ‘What do I do? What do I do? What do I do?'”

Sounds like a little protective momma hazing if you asked me…

LeClaire defended herself, saying “if you gotta go, you gotta go”:

“I had to tinkle. We probably had one bathroom, so if you gotta go, you gotta go.”

I mean, true… but I don’t think Caroline would have minded at all if LeClaire just asked her to step out for a minute so she could use the bathroom. Like I said, I think LeClaire might’ve had ulterior motives for doing that, and it certainly makes for a funny story now…

Plus, since Caroline wasn’t obviously too terribly fazed by that early on, I’m sure it helped prepare her for the antics of the Bryan family she would eventually participate in in terms of the pranks and jokes.

But still, what a way to meet your future mother-in-law. It’s a good think Luke was so cute back then…

And speaking of LeClaire and Caroline, several years ago, Luke asked character comedian Chelcie Lynn, AKA Trailer Trash Tammy, to help him prank his mom. Luke told LeClaire there was a fan that had been trying to get onto his property, and she just so happened to show up while they were both outside.

Tammy runs up and tackles Luke, and tries to “fight Caroline,” all while LeClaire is ready to whip some behind herself it looks like. I still laugh watching this every time… maybe it was really payback for the bathroom incident all those years ago:
