Brooks and Yearwood hosted a virtual live concert for in April. The National Enquirer said, “They fought about every aspect of the CBS show and weren’t being discreet about it during rehearsals!” The couple reportedly “couldn’t even agree on what kind of health precautions they needed to take.”
Gossip Cop pointed out that the special consisted of the two taking requests, so it’s unclear what “rehearsal” would even entail. Yearwood spoke glowingly about her husband when promoting the show, calling Garth Brooks “a really wonderful source of strength” for her. Obviously, this story was bogus.
According to Globe, Brooks and Yearwood were fighting over his “sloppy habits during nine months of lockdown.” A so-called friend of the couple said “their marriage is dangling by a thread after she clobbered the slob with a strict set of house rules.”
Gossip Cop quickly busted this insulting story by pointing out Yearwood’s loving congratulatory message to her husband when he received a Kennedy Center Honor. This was just an excuse to insult Garth Brooks’ hygiene for no discernable reason other than to be cruel.
OK! reported that Yearwood was “fed up” with Brooks’ “sloppy ways.” In another shocking story about the country star’s personal hygiene, an alleged source said that Yearwood was “sick of the bathroom mess and his clothes on the floor, so she’s making a list of dos and don’ts.” She ordered him to do everything “from wearing deodorant to being ready for dinner at a set time.”
This ridiculous narrative stemmed from an interview the two did with Extra where Brooks said his whistling drives Yearwood “absolutely nuts.” The tabloid took that kernel of truth and invented an sburd narrative about deodorant.
Tabloids have been spinning this divorce rumor even before COVID-19 changed the world. Last January, the Globe claimed that Garth Brooks and Yearwood were having a “marriage crisis” over Miranda Lambert. A source said, “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.”
