“We started down this road fueled by passion, dedication and a shared vision,” said Trisha said.
“I’m really proud of the team that has built the Friends Bar and Honky Tonk. We are excited to share the culmination of everyone’s efforts. It’s even bigger than we dreamed.”
Garth Brooks Divorced: His Marriage Before Trisha
Garth and Trisha first met in the late 80’s when they started working together on a demo together. At the time, they were both married to other people.
Garth was married for 15 years to songwriter Sandy Mahl before they split. They had three children together and seemed perfectly happy to everyone on the outside of their marriage.
But when it came right down to it, Garth divorced the first Mrs. Brooks citing irreconcilable differences.
Now, before you start thinking Trisha had anything to do with it, think again. Sandy has been clear that her former husband’s explosive career was the issue.

“People constantly wanting your attention and yanking and pulling on him,” she explained in the documentary Garth Brooks: The Road I’m On.
“He’d be gone eight to 10 weeks at a time. He’d come home, and there would be number-one parties, or shows, or CMAs, or ACMs, American Music Awards, so it was constantly going. But we both grew apart really, really quickly.
As for Trisha, she was married to two others before she found her forever love with Garth: her first husband, Christopher Latham, from 1987 to 1991, and to her second husband, Robert Reynolds, from 1994 to 1999.
