Personal Life
Yearwood has been married three times. She married her first husband, musician Chris Latham, in 1987; they divorced in 1991. On May 21, 1994 she married Robert "Bobby" Reynolds, a bass player for the country music group The Mavericks; they divorced in 1999. Yearwood and her current husband Garth Brooks had been close friends since before they both became nationally known in the 1990s; in 2000, after Brooks filed for divorce from estranged wife Sandy Mahl, they began dating and Yearwood took a four-year hiatus from music. On May 25, 2005, Brooks proposed to Yearwood in front of 7,000 fans in Bakersfield, CA and she accepted without hesitation. On December 10, 2005, they were married in a private ceremony at the couple's home in Owasso, Oklahoma. Brooks has three daughters from his first marriage: Taylor, August, and Allie.
In late August 2008, the plane Yearwood was aboard from Boston, Massachusetts to Oklahoma, made an emergency landing after one of its windows cracked and nearly broke open at 30,000 feet. The pilots safely landed in Baltimore, Maryland, before the window cracked even more.
Trisha Yearwood's mother, Gwen Yearwood, died on October 1, 2011 from cancer. She was 73.
