But Yearwood's love and support have transformed Brooks' life. "I was lucky enough to get to marry my best friend," he declared. "We've known each other since 1988 or '87, and so we've kind of been through it all together."
Reflecting on their past struggles, Brooks expressed his gratitude for Yearwood's resilience. "I heard things from her that she told me our whole life, but I didn't hear them until now," he said of his ex-wife's perspective.

Brooks believes that everything happens for a reason and that their marriage was destined to be at the right time. "If we would have gotten married back in the late '80s, I don't think our marriage would have survived the '90s or our careers would not be what they were," he mused.
Working together on their honky-tonk project, Friends in Low Places, put their relationship to the test, but they emerged even more connected. "It was a great time in our life. I got to work with my best friend," Brooks said. "Any time you work with family, it's always harder because you take things personally. But at the same time, it's sweeter because you take things personally."
