Trisha Yearwood and Garth Brooks are country couple goals.

In fact, when these two first met in 1987, it was completely platonic.

Before becoming the power couple we know today, Yearwood was married twice before (viaHeavy).

Yearwood married long-time music producer Chris Latham in 1987; they later divorced in 1991.

During this time, her career went from freshman to full-blown.

As her marriage started, Yearwood became as an intern for MTM records as newlyweds.

Like many rising celebrities, however, we can guess that work and fame likely played a part.

Neither has ever publicly spoken about the reasons for their divorce (viaHeavy).

You may know them from hit singles like “All You Ever Do Is Bring Me Down.”

Sadly the two divorced in 1999.

For Yearwood, this marked a difficult period, but also a time of self-discovery.
