Trisha Yearwood Diagnosed With COVID-19

Brooks asks for prayers and well wishes for Yearwood. “She’s tough. She’s stronger than me,” he says, but adds that he, too, is praying for her.

Brooks and Yearwood were previously quarantined over the summer, after Brooks’ daughter Allie contracted COVID-19. Their most recent quarantine began after they and their teams underwent testing while preparing to co-host Ellen.

In January, Brooks was tested for the virus several times prior to his performance at Joe Biden’s presidential inauguration in Washington, D.C. His tests came back negative, and he was able to perform an a cappella version of “Amazing Grace” from the U.S. Capitol building.
