Fans are wondering if Trisha Yearwood and Garth Brooks are still married after Garth failed to show up for Trisha during the CMT Music Awards. Trisha was there to receive the June Carter Cash Humanitarian Award for her efforts in charity. Considering how special the award is, fans were surprised when her husband, Garth, wasn’t there to support her.
According to Garth’s Instagram, they’re still going strong. Even though Garth wasn’t there at the awards show, he did post a tribute to his wife. The picture showed Trisha with her new Humanitarian Award, smiling into the camera.

Garth captioned the photo saying that Trisha deserved to win the June Carter Cash Humanitarian Award. He then went on to list the different ways that Trisha gives back to the community.
Whether it’s building homes for Habitat for Humanity or raising money for breast cancer research, Trisha has been involved in a lot of organizations. Garth ended the caption by saying everyone should celebrate Trisha and June Carter Cash for their work in charity and that we should all be like them.
Trisha Walked the Red Carpet with Her Sister, Beth
The post made it clear that Garth is proud of his wife and the recognition she’s received for her charity work. So, why wasn’t Garth at the CMT awards? The exact reason isn’t known, but Trisha called the CMT Music Awards a girl’s night as she had her sister, Beth Bernard, walk with her down the red carpet instead.
According to In Touch Weekly, Trisha answered a reporter’s question about where Garth was. She said that Garth was probably at the new bar they just opened in Nashville, the Friends in Low Places Bar & Honky Tonk.

The couple still appears to be going strong, although Garth was already married when they first met. Trisha and Garth met in 1987 when they were recording a demo together. Garth had married his college sweetheart, Sandy Mahl, a year before.
It’d be several years before they got together, however. That said, they developed a close working relationship instead.
They often sang duos on each other’s albums. Neither of them were big stars when they first met, so they each grew in fame together.
Garth and Trisha Have Always Supported Each Other
Eventually, Garth divorced Sandy in 2000. According to Sandy, the biggest reason they ended up divorcing was because Garth was working too much.
Because there was always so much going on, they didn’t have much time to enjoy each other. They grew apart as a result.

Trisha and Garth didn’t start officially dating until 2002 when they walked out together for the 33rd annual Songwriters Hall of Fame induction ceremony. In May 2005, Garth proposed to Trisha, and she accepted. Seven months later, the two would marry in a private ceremony in Tulsa, Oklahoma.
The couple have been strong supporters of each other. They haven’t been shy about how much they love each other, either.
After marrying, they even went on tour with each other for three years. At the time, Garth said he was madly in love with his wife and couldn’t go a day without her. While Garth may be able to go a day without his wife now, it’s clear the two are still married and in love with each other.
