Garth Brooks: The Story Behind His Unshaved Beard And Love For Trisha Yearwood

Garth Brooks, the legendary country music star, has made headlines not only for his incredible music but also for his distinctive look—his beard! Recently, during a press event at SXSW 2017, we learned that this scruffy facial hair is more than just a fashion statement; it’s a symbol of love and commitment to his wife, Trisha Yearwood. With salt and pepper scruff adorning his face, Garth revealed that he will keep the beard as long as Trisha approves. “My wife likes it, so it stays,” he said, expressing his surprise that he initially planned to shave it off!

The couple's love story is filled with heartfelt moments, and their eleventh anniversary was no exception. Instead of a romantic getaway, Garth had to perform at a concert commemorating Pearl Harbor's 75th anniversary. Despite this, Trisha was understanding and even joked about it when Garth told her the concert was in Hawaii. “You’re forgiven,” she said, showcasing the playful nature of their relationship.

During their Hawaii trip, Garth decided to let his facial hair grow wild, planning to tidy up once they returned home. However, Trisha had other ideas. She encouraged him to keep it, saying, “Let’s see what happens.” This playful banter not only highlights their strong bond but also shows how Trisha's opinion holds significant weight in Garth's life. The last time Garth had a beard was while playing a “bad guy” in his music video for “The Thunder Rolls” back in 1991.
