Among the allegations, the suit accused the Grammy winner of raping the woman in a Los Angeles hotel room in 2019. He’s vehemently denied the accusations, but a source told RadarOnline.com they continue to rock the couple’s marriage.
“Trisha was shocked that anyone would accuse Garth of such heinous things,” said the source. “It’s put a strain on their relationship. They’ve been living with this legal mess for months now. It’s the elephant in the room.”
Publicly, the She’s in Love With the Boy singer hasn’t wavered. In February, Yearwood paid tribute to her husband of nearly 20 years in a loving Instagram post marking his 63rd birthday, calling him her “forever duet partner.”
The singer and bestselling cookbook author may be dealing with some major trust issues, with the source adding: “But she thinks she knows Garth well enough by now to know he could never do such a thing, so she believes him when he says he didn’t do this.”
The situation is complicated for Yearwood, who wed Brooks, her third husband, in 2005, after years of friendship. “Even if Trisha had doubts, she’s built her life around Garth, and it would be hard to leave,” admitted the source.
Not only are they one of the biggest power couples in country music, “but it would look bad for Garth and might hurt his case.”
