A storybook love. Garth Brooks and Trisha Yearwood are one of the country music’s most famous couples, but they’ve definitely had their ups and downs.
“People thought, Well, two celebrities who are in the same business, they won’t last,'” Yearwood shared with Us Weekly in 2018. “I’m invested in this family, this is what I want for myself and no offense to anything else in my past, but I get it, I get it now and this is what I want. So we just earn it. Day by day.”
She also added that in order to make their relationship work, they’re all about the scheduling. “We plan our days if we’re gonna be apart so that we can get back together as soon as possible,” the “Walkaway Joe” singer said.
The following year, the two-time Grammy Award winner said that he’s continuously learning more about his wife — something he can’t get enough of.
“I think how she inspires me is she thinks differently than me. And so it forces you out of just what you think you know, into what don’t you know, and to look over in there,” he told Us ahead of their 14-year wedding anniversary. “We’re kind of in that stage where we have discussions that are intense, a little more than usual.”
“I think what he’s saying is that he listens to me and I’m usually right,” Yearwood responded.
Over the years, the pair couldn’t help but compliment each other. “I just want to be wherever she’s at. I love breathing the same air she’s breathing,” the “Long Neck Bottle” crooner told Parade magazine in 2016. In that same interview, she revealed that it’s all about really knowing each other.
“I just think we’re meant to be,” the three-time Grammy Award winner said. “We have a friendship that’s a great base for all of it.”
In 2019, Brooks took home the Entertainer of the Year Award at the American Music Awards. They shared a long kiss when he was announced as the winner and at the end of his speech, he couldn’t help but send love to his wife. “I love you Trisha Yearwood,” he yelled.

Although they met in 1988, the pair were not single at the time. Yearwood was married to Christopher Latham from 1987 to 1991.

Brooks was married to Sandy Mahl from 1986 to 2001. Together, they had three children: Taylor Mayne Pearl, born in 1992, August Anna, born in 1994, and Allie Colleen Brooks, born in 1996.

"I had been married 13 months when I met her. When someone said, ‘What’d you think when I met her?’ I said, ‘I felt like I just met my wife,’ which is weird, right?" Brooks said ahead of his A&E documentary in November 2019. However, they were both married at that time.

In 1985, Yearwood began interning for MTM Records while in college and recorded background vocals for artists. Three years later, one of the artists she worked with was Brooks. At the time, he promised her that if he was successful, he'd help her sign her own recording contract.

In 1991, he introduced her to his producer and her career began growing. She sang on his second album, No Fences, and signed a contract. She opened for Brooks that year and her breakout hit, "She's in Love With the Boy," dropped in March 1991.

The pair have been inseparable since their marriage and love mixing work and home life. In October 2019, they worked together with Jimmy Carter and his wife, Rosalynn Carter, for Habitat and Humanity. "That tool belt, that hard hat, everything. She is gorgeous anyway — they call her the nail gun diva — but when she’s in her full sweat and everything and swinging that hammer, yes, she is more than sexy," he told Us.

The couple chose to use the coronavirus pandemic quarantine to strengthen their bond. “We decided to use quarantine as a time to face everything, ‘cause now you can’t leave, you can’t walk away,” Brooks said in a July 2020 press conference. “This is probably, you know, the blessing and the curse. This has probably been the most we’ve ever gone through as a couple, but what’s on the other side is so great especially when you are with the right one.”
