In November 2025, country music star Trisha Yearwood, now 61 years old, reflected on the significant changes in her life after marrying fellow singer Garth Brooks, 63, back in 2005. Yearwood shared that when she moved to Oklahoma to be with Brooks, she made a conscious effort to step back from her rigorous touring schedule of 200 days per year and instead focus on being a "bonus mom" to Brooks' three daughters from his previous marriage.
Yearwood emphasized the importance of being present and involved in her new family's life, attending soccer games and cooking dinner regularly. She realized that for a marriage to work, the couple needs to spend quality time together, which was a shift from her previous lifestyle as a touring musician.
Interestingly, Yearwood also revealed that the opening track on her newly released Christmas album, "Christmas Time Is Here," holds a special meaning in her marriage to Brooks. The couple actually chose this song from the beloved "A Charlie Brown Christmas" album as Yearwood's wedding entrance music when they tied the knot in December 2005.
