Trisha Yearwood kept her maiden name after her wedding, but in a recent interview, Garth revealed that she was willing to change it.
Prior to kicking off his sold-out five-night run of shows at Ireland’s Croke Park, Garth Brooks answered questions during a press conference. During his meeting with the press, the singer was asked if he is Trisha Yearwood‘s husband or if she is Garth Brooks’ wife. He replied, “I am Trisha Yearwood’s husband.” He went on to share a story about her gift to him for their 15th wedding anniversary.
“Her gift to me was she…” Garth paused as he tried not to cry. “She filled out the forms and all she needed was a signature to legally change her name.”
But, Garth said he wasn’t going to let that happen.
“If you knew Jack Yearwood [Trisha’s dad], one of the sweetest men on the planet. He had two daughters. The Yearwood name will not end with me,” Garth shared. “So, I said, ‘Please, don’t.’”
“The Dance” singer admitted that he wouldn’t have a problem with changing his own last name to Yearwood. “That’s how much I belong to that woman. I love that woman….I feel lucky to be in that relationship as long as she’ll have me.”
