On May 21, 1994 she married Robert "Bobby" Reynolds, a bass player for the country music group The Mavericks; they divorced in 1999. Yearwood and her current husband Garth Brooks had been close friends since before they both became nationally known in the 1990s; in 2000, after Brooks filed for divorce from estranged wife Sandy Mahl, they began dating and Yearwood took a four-year hiatus from music. On May 25, 2005, Brooks proposed to Yearwood in front of 7,000 fans in Bakersfield, CA and she accepted without hesitation. On December 10, 2005, they were married in a private ceremony at the couple's home in Owasso, Oklahoma. Brooks has three daughters from his first marriage: Taylor, August, and Allie.
In late August 2008, the plane Yearwood was aboard from Boston, Massachusetts to Oklahoma, made an emergency landing after one of its windows cracked and nearly broke open at 30,000 feet. The pilots safely landed in Baltimore, Maryland, before the window cracked even more.

Famous quotes containing the words personal and/or life:
“In contrast with envy, which usually occurs between two people and is focused upon another person’s qualities or possessions, jealousy occurs when a third person becomes a threat to a dyad. Jealousy involves the loss or the impending loss of a relationship that one wants to hold onto, a relationship that is vital to personal fulfillment and claimed as one’s own.”
—Carol S. Becker (b. 1942)
“Anarchism is the only philosophy which brings man the consciousness of himself; which maintains that God, the State, and society are non-existent, that their promises are null and void, since they can be fulfilled only through man’s subordination.... The individual is the heart of society, conserving the essence of social life; society is the lungs which are distributing the element to keep the life essence—that, is, the individual—pure and strong.”
—Emma Goldman (1869–1940)
