Let me tell you a story about Garth Brooks and his incredible love for his wife, Trisha Yearwood. Now, this isn’t just any love story—it’s the kind of love that makes you believe in soulmates. Garth doesn’t shy away from expressing his deep affection for Trisha, and he made that abundantly clear during an appearance on The Kelly Clarkson Show on Monday, November 20. This guy doesn’t just love her; he practically worships the ground she walks on.
Garth Brooks on Love and Legacy
When asked about his future, Garth, who’s now 61 years young, didn’t hesitate to share what truly matters to him. “You know, when you think about the future, you’re just grateful for one more day, right? One more day to live, to love, to experience life with the people who mean the most to you,” he told host Kelly Clarkson. “That’s all I want. I’d love for my three daughters to be around me when I take my last breath. And, of course, I’d want Trisha there too. She’s my queen, my everything. I’ve said it before, and I’ll say it again: I found her in a past life, and I’ll find her in the next.” Can you feel the love in that statement? It’s powerful, raw, and absolutely beautiful.
Garth’s Adoration for Trisha Isn’t New
This wasn’t the first time Garth has opened up about his love for Trisha. Back in August, the legendary singer behind hits like “Friends in Low Places” confessed to Us Weekly that he feels completely lost without her. “I feel helpless without her. There’s nothing I can’t do with her by my side, but there’s nothing I can do without her,” he said. “It’s a blessing and a curse, really. When she’s there, I feel so free and independent. But when she’s not around, I feel so dependent. I don’t think she feels this way at all, but I know I do.” It’s clear that Garth sees Trisha as his anchor, his guiding light, and his ultimate partner in life.

Trisha’s Perspective on Their Marriage
Trisha, who’s 59 years old, has also shared her thoughts on their relationship. In 2021, she opened up about what makes their marriage work—and admitted that it’s not always easy. “We’re both very independent people who run our own ships. So, it’s been a journey figuring out how to stay alphas, stay independent, do our own thing, feel like we run our own lives, but still be a couple,” she explained. “Sometimes one of us is steering the ship, and sometimes the other person is. And, yes, there are moments when we butt heads. That’s just part of being in a long-term relationship.”
Trisha also revealed that, unlike her past relationships, she’s committed to making things work with Garth. “Before I met Garth, I was the kind of person who was ready to bail when relationships got tough. But with him, that’s not an option because he’s the love of my life,” she said. “We’ve built something special together, and I’m willing to fight for it.”
From Friendship to Forever
Garth and Trisha first crossed paths in the 1980s, but their romantic journey didn’t begin until 2000, a year after Garth separated from his first wife, Sandy Mahl. Their love story took a dramatic turn in May 2005 when Garth proposed to Trisha on stage at Buck Owens’ Crystal Palace in front of 7,000 people. Talk about a grand gesture! They officially tied the knot in December of the same year, and since then, they’ve been building a life together filled with love, laughter, and family.
When they got married, Trisha embraced her role as “bonus mom” to Garth’s three daughters—Taylor, August, and Allie—from his first marriage. “The girls have been such a gift to me. They allowed me to learn my way and become that third parent in their lives,” Trisha told People in 2021. “They’ve taught me so much about love, patience, and the joy of being part of a family. I didn’t realize how much having children would enrich my life until I became a part of theirs.”
