Relationship Details Of Garth Brooks
Garth Brooks got engaged to Trisha Yearwood in 2005 and wasting no more time, and they got married on 10 December of that same year.
The two first linked in 1987 when they were recording a tune at a songwriter’s attic studio. Even though they both were married to different people, they still kept their friendship intact over the years. Despite being in married life with different persons, they once revealed in an interview that they thought they had found their person to be with, their true significant others. And somewhere in 2000, both of them decided to split from their respective marriage.
Nearly two years after ending their previous marriage, Garth and Trisha made their first public appearance on the red carpet in June 2002. The adorable pair was all smiles as they attended the 33rd Annual Songwriters Hall of Fame Awards Induction in NYC.

Just after three years of going public with their romance, in May 2005, Garth proposed to Trisha in front of thousands of people – at Buck Owens’s Crystal Palace in Bakersfield, California. Without a doubt, she accepted his proposal, and they got engaged. Despite their public engagement, they decided to have an intimate marriage. The couple tied the knot towards the end of 2005 at their Oklahoma home in front of their family – Garth’s three daughters from his previous marriage were also present on the big wedding day.
Garth also gushed during a talk with Closer, during the celebration of A&E Biography's upcoming Garth Brooks: The Road I’m On a TV special in November 2019, that while he got divorced from his previous wife, he had the support of the songstress, Trisha, to get back up in the music field. Over the decades, the couple has showcased fans with lots of their adorable appearance together while attending several awards ceremonies.
In February 2021, Garth announced that his wife Trisha tested positive for COVID-19, but he also declared on his Facebook page that he would not be leaving his wife’s side. And thankfully, nearly two weeks later, in March that year, Trisha shared the “official news” that she was “covid negative” in an announcement on Facebook.
It is not all-loving and gushing for the couple every time, and sometimes they might “butt heads” too. During a talk with Us Weekly in April 2021, Trisha noted having difficult situations in their marriage. She noted having “balance” in their independence and time together, which they learned during quarantine. Disregarding all those things, the couple is still strong together and has remained as a lovely, adorable pair to date.
Prior to his married life with Trisha, Brooks married Sandy Mahl in 1986. They met at Oklahoma State when Brooks was working as a bouncer in a college bar. The two became college sweethearts and tied the knot. They parented three daughters; Taylor Mayne Pearl Brooks (28 years old), August Anna Brooks (26 years old), and Allie Colleen Brooks (24 years old). During their marriage, Garth’s career took off and became the megastar we know today.
Garth then met Trisha during 13 months of marriage with Sandy and still got the feeling of his just meeting “your wife.” Sandy first discovered her husband cheated on her in 1989 and threatened to leave him, but they eventually reconciled in 1996 and renewed their wedding vows.
Still, Garth tried his best to be faithful to Sandy, which finally took a toll on his both professional and married life, while having feelings for Yearwood at the same time, which made Garth retire from country music in 2000, citing the reason as raising his daughters. And eventually, Sandy and Garth got divorced in 2000.
