Luke Bryan is committed to being there for Daisy Dove in every way possible. This heartfelt sentiment reflects the deep bonds formed during his time on the immensely popular singing competition, American Idol.

The talented American Idol judge recently shared that he maintains a strong connection with his former co-star Katy Perry, who departed from the beloved series after an impressive seven-season run. He revealed this personal update during an exclusive interview with E! News at the 2024 CMA Awards held on November 20. “Katy and I text every now and then, and I always check on how she and her family are doing,” Luke expressed. Their time together on the show fostered an incredible friendship among the three of them, including Katy’s partner, Orlando.

As a devoted father to his sons, Thomas “Bo” Boyer Bryan, 16, and Tatum “Tate” Christopher Bryan, 14, whom he shares with his wife Caroline Bryan, Luke also fondly mentioned his affection for Katy and Orlando’s adorable three-year-old daughter. He shared the endearing nickname that she uses for him, which highlights the warmth of their relationship.

“It?s always wonderful to check in on how they?re all doing and see updates on little Daisy,” he remarked with a smile. “Perhaps Daisy will continue to call me Uncle Luke for a long time to come.” This sweet sentiment showcases the familial bonds that have developed beyond the show?s competitive environment. With Katy stepping away from American Idol, Luke has enthusiastically welcomed her successor, Carrie Underwood, into their circle.
