Keep It Truthful... But Not That Truthful

Brooks Tries To Save Face After Being Accused Of Sexual Assault

The accusations rocked Yearwood, as a source previously claimed it has "put a strain on their relationship. They've been living with this legal mess for months now. It's the elephant in the room."
Yearwood was married twice before tying the knot with Brooks. In 1987, she said "I do" to music producer Christopher Latham before they parted ways in 1991. She was then married to musician Robert Reynolds from 1994 to 1999.
