Luke Bryan's presence in the Hobe Sound Publix on Saturday created quite a buzz. Spotted at the Islands Crossings Shopping Center on 11750 S.E. Federal Highway, he interacted with Publix workers by snapping some selfies. These photos were later posted on social media, and TCPalm is awaiting permission to republish them. It's interesting to note that while TCPalm doesn't know the reason for Bryan's visit or if he still has a home in Florida after selling his in Santa Rosa Beach on Aug. 27 for $11.5 million, according to Walton County public records.

Treasure Coast's Celebrity Connections

The Publix store is located just north of Jupiter Island, a small, affluent barrier-island community in Martin and Palm Beach counties where many famous celebrities and athletes own homes. It's not the first time Bryan has been seen on the Treasure Coast. In 2023, he held a private charity concert here to raise $500,000 for two Palm Beach County arts high schools - Bak Middle School of the Arts and Dreyfoos School of the Arts. The concert took place along the Indian River Lagoon on State Road A1A, just north of Tequesta, between Jupiter Pointe Marina and Tiki 52.This isn't the only connection Bryan has with the area. He is longtime friends with country singer Jason Aldean, who owns property on Hutchinson Island in Martin County. The two were together on Election Day, as Brittany Aldean posted on Instagram. The Aldeans bought their Stuart-area home in 2022 and then the adjacent property in 2023.Gianna Montesano is TCPalm's trending reporter.
