Early Struggles in Career and Marriage Country music legend Garth Brooks, 61, recently admitted that he wasn’t the best parent or husband early in his career. “I sucked at being a husband, I was horrible at it. I was horrible at being a dad,” Brooks said in a Billboard interview. He was married to songwriter Sandy Mahl for 13 years, and they have three children.
Turnaround with Trisha Yearwood Brooks began to change when he started dating fellow country musician Trisha Yearwood. “I will tell you this, the person you’re with does make a huge difference in your life,” he remarked. The couple has been happily married for 17 years, frequently expressing their love for each other.
Career Moves and Cancel Culture Brooks also touched upon cancel culture in the Billboard interview, stating he still appreciates the music of bands that have been “canceled”. He revealed he’s excited for new music from artists like Luke Combs and The Chicks.
What’s Next for Brooks Garth Brooks has multiple projects in the pipeline, including a new residency in Las Vegas and upcoming music releases. He is also opening a new bar in Nashville, Tennessee, named “Friends in Low Places Bar & Honky Tonk”.
