In honor of Trisha Yearwood’s receiving the inaugural “June Carter Cash Humanitarian Award” at the 2024 CMT Awards, we’re looking back on the singer’s life and love with longtime partner Garth Brooks.
Trisha Yearwood and Garth Brooks are one of country music’s biggest and most longstanding power couples. Brooks and Yearwood, who have been married since 2005, are the biggest proof of true love there is!
“There’s a lot of me that feels like no time has passed. It feels like it’s gone so quickly, the “How Do I Live” singer told Us Weekly in 2021. At the time, the pair were celebrating 30 years since their first duet together. “And then there’s the other part of it, like, man, that was 30 years ago? I was a child!”
Brooks, who shares kids Taylor, 31, August, 29, and Allie, 27, with ex-wife Sandy Mahl, gushed about his relationship with Yearwood late last year. “I’ve said this before, I found her in the past life, I’ll find her in the next,” he said, tearing up.
With a love as pure and inspiring as this, of course we had to look back at some of their best photos together over the years ahead of tonight’s awards. Find out more about their love story below!
