Country music icon Garth Brooks recently revealed he turned down wife Trisha Yearwood's thoughtful offer to legally adopt his last name. During a press conference for his TuneIn radio partnership, Brooks explained that Yearwood presented him with the legal documents for the name change on their anniversary last year. However, he felt strongly about maintaining her family name, recognizing her individual identity as Trisha Yearwood, daughter of Jack Yearwood.
Brooks emphasized the importance of respecting both individuals' identities within a celebrity marriage, stating, "What counts is when you have two celebrities, don’t have one swallow the other." He even expressed his willingness to take Yearwood's name, further demonstrating his commitment to equality in their relationship.
Beyond this personal revelation, Brooks also discussed his future plans with TuneIn, including a potential radio station focused on prominent women in entertainment, tentatively named "BABE" (Bad A** B****es of Entertainment). He expressed his desire for Yearwood to be heavily involved in this project.
In a recent interview with Billboard, Brooks reflected on his past struggles as a husband and father during his first marriage, acknowledging his shortcomings and the growth he has experienced since then. He credited Yearwood for her positive influence on his life. Yearwood, speaking on the ACM Awards red carpet, described their relationship as "always a first date," highlighting the continued spark and connection they share.
