Since the recent film A Star is Born was released, the love story of Garth Brooks and Trisha Yearwood has sprung to mind. Before the pair made it big, it was Brooks who helped Yearwood made her way, promising she could open for his shows one day.
The two were in relationships when they first met and they started as just friends. Yet, while recording together, it became nearly impossible for Brooks to take his eyes off Yearwood. The pair immediately hit it off but made sure to keep things platonic.
Garth Brooks kept his promise and a little while later Trisha Yearwood was touring with the superstar.
Power Couple
Garth Brooks and Trisha Yearwood are arguably one of the best power couples in country music. Country music fans are certainly aware of this power couple who have been together for over a decade (an accomplishment for celebrities).
But little is known about their difficult journey before tieing the knot. As Brooks revealed he can’t be away from his wife, we take a look at what got them to this point. From being just friends to an inseparable marriage, this is their journey.
Just Friends
Before either had a record label, the pair became friends! Brooks and Yearwood met in 1987 while recording a demo at songwriter Kent Blazy’s attic studio and immediately hit it off.
Married at the time, Yearwood, said, “We hit it off, but I had no idea he’d turn out to be Garth Brooks!” While her unknowingly future partner later revealed, “It’s strange because I felt that feeling like when you just meet your wife, but I’d been married for 13 months.”
