Top Garth Brooks/Trisha Yearwood Story Of 2020: Divorcing Over Miranda Lambert

Garth Brooks and Trisha Yearwood have been married since 2005, but the longevity of their marriage hasn’t kept the tabloids from speculating that the union might be coming to an end. One tabloid insisted that fellow Miranda Lambert was somehow threatening the pair’s marriage. Gossip Cop investigated the rumors at the time, but decided to take a second look at the tale to double–check our judgement.

‘Trisha and Garth’s Marriage Crisis’

In January, the Globe ran a cover story about Brooks and Yearwood’s “marriage crisis.” The two were apparently in trouble because Brooks wanted to team up with Lambert for a major tour. Yearwood supposedly “feels humiliated” that Brooks would choose to tour with lambert instead of her and all the fighting “left their marriage hanging by a thread.” A source said.

Garth’s intense

Trisha is insanely jealous of Garth’s intense interest in Miranda. She’s furious with Garth because she knows Miranda is a notorious man-eater who has a history of trying to get her hooks into married men.

The suspicious source went on to call Yearwood “incredibly insecure” and claimed the “She’s In Love With The Boy” singer was “furious over how close Garth’s grown to Miranda,” adding, “They’re fighting so much about it, it’s left their marriage hanging by a thread.”

So, So, So Much Wrong

Gossip Cop busted this story at the time for so many reasons. No such tour was ever planned. Lambert is married to a former NYPD officer and is not the “maneater” this tabloid makes her out to be. She also called out Brooks for lip-syncing once, so if anything there would be tension between those two.

Plus, Yearwood and Brooks have been married for over fifteen years now, so it’s safe to say they understand each other. Yearwood did an interview just a few weeks before this story came out saying she and Brooks are “friends at the end of the day, and we enjoy each other’s company and like being together.” This story was as wrong as wrong gets.

How Did The Year Go?

Brooks and Yearwood did not get divorced. In fact, the two recently hosted a holiday special for CBS. Brooks released a new album entitled Fun as well. Lambert has remained in the eyes of the tabloids. She had been on a solo tour, but that has since been delayed due to COVID-19.

The Tabloids Did Not Stop

The Globe just could not leave Brooks and Yearwood alone this year. In an especially crass story, it said the two had given up weight loss because “fat’s where it’s at.” This was a straight-up fat-shaming story that said the two were too weak-willed to ever deny a desert.

In another bogus country music story, it claimed Lambert’s ex Blake Shelton had turned into “groomzilla” while he prepared his and Gwen Stefani’s wedding. Shelton and Stefani are waiting to see how COVID-19 plays out before they plan anything. We also busted a story about the two of them fighting over a prenup, for more legitimate sources say the prenup is going swimmingly. This tabloid simply has no real insight into the realm of country music and prefers drama to reality.

What Garth Brooks’s Ex Wife Sandy Mahl Really Thought of Him Marrying Trisha Yearwood

If you watched Garth Brooks‘s 2019 A&E documentary Garth Books: The Road I’m On, you likely came to the conclusion that the country music singer and his ex-wife, Sandy Mahl, are on pretty good terms.

Even though both admitted that their 15-year marriage had its fair share of challenges, Sandy spoke very highly of Garth’s musical talent during the A&E special. But perhaps the most telling part of the entire documentary is that Sandy was supportive of her ex-husband marrying Trisha Yearwood.

Following their divorce in 2001, Sandy and Garth worked hard to co-parent their three daughters — Taylor, 28, August, 26, and Allie, 24.

“They saw both their parents in the morning and both their parents in the evening, and for 14 years,” Garth told the Tennessean. “That was how we ran it, because we knew it was right for those kids. If you did what was right for the kids, you were going to do what was right for you. It was simple.”

Around then, the “The River” singer began seeing Trisha, who he had first met back in 1987 while recording a demo. According to Garth’s eldest daughter.

when it was Garth’s turn to cook, his dinners would frequently include frozen chicken and boxed macaroni and cheese, adding “he could not cook to save his life.” So when Trisha came along, Taylor said that she and her sisters were “real excited.”

But it wasn’t only Taylor who saw the positivity Trisha brought to their family.
