Country music power couple Garth Brooks and Trisha Yearwood have reportedly discussed the possibility of relocating to Ireland in the wake of recent sexual assault allegations against Brooks.
In February 2023, an unnamed woman filed a lawsuit against Brooks, alleging that he sexually assaulted her in 1996. The singer has vehemently denied the claims, calling them "completely false and fabricated."
Amid the legal battle, Brooks and Yearwood have reportedly weighed the idea of leaving the United States and settling in Ireland. According to sources close to the couple, they have been considering the move as a means of escaping the media scrutiny and legal challenges surrounding the allegations.
In a recent interview, Brooks addressed the allegations and the possibility of relocating to Ireland.
"I love this country with all my heart," he said. "But if our lives are going to be ruined because of this, then we'll just have to do what we have to do."
The lawsuit against Brooks is currently in the discovery phase, and no trial date has been set. The outcome of the case could significantly impact the couple's future plans.
The allegations have divided Brooks's fanbase and the country music industry. Some fans have expressed support for the singer, while others have called for a boycott of his music. Industry insiders speculate that the controversy could damage Brooks's legacy and career.
It remains to be seen whether Brooks and Yearwood will ultimately decide to relocate to Ireland. The outcome of the lawsuit and the continued public scrutiny will likely play a key role in their decision.
