Trisha Yearwood and Garth Brooks
December 19, 2007 — Trisha Yearwood believes the love she and husband Garth Brooks share continues to be strong because it was founded on friendship.
Trisha recently told AOL Music, "I don't know about you, but most of my girlfriends, we talk about how so many times you've gotten into a relationship and get really serious before you've really gotten to know the guy. And then a couple of years later, you look back and think, 'I don't even like this guy!' [laughs] And in our case, we were friends for so many years before we were a couple, that we know everything about each other. I think that's a really strong foundation that a lot of people don't wait to have."
As for being a stepmother to Garth's three daughters, Trisha says, "I feel completely spoiled, because I know for some, it's a tough role to be in. But for me, it hasn't been, because they are so sweet to me, and they're smart and funny and cool. I really lucked out. Just to have these girls in the house who make you laugh — they're hilarious! It's an added bonus to my life, and I never had a clue what it would be like. It's wonderful."
