While promoting his 2019 A&E documentary, Garth Brooks: The Road I’m On, the country music superstar got candid about raising his daughters after the divorce.
“I was living with three strange women that I did not know. They were 8, 6, and 4,” Brooks confessed. Fortunately for him, his now-wife Trisha Yearwood stepped in to help him navigate. “I was about to get a crash course in females…and my best friend showed up,” Brooks added.
The Oklahoman gives Yearwood, whom he married in 2005, a ton of credit for helping him parent his children. He also believes the girls really benefited from having ‘three parents’ raising them. Although divorce and introducing a stepparent has its challenges, Garth is thankful for how everything turned out.
“They got the right amount of their mom in them, the right amount of me in them, and the right amount of Trisha’s influence in them as well. So I think everything happens for a reason at a time,” the star admitted during an interview with FOX News.

Allie Colleen Brooks Roberts (28-years-old)
Allie is a graduate of Nashville’s Belmont University and is a rising country singer-songwriter. Garth made Allie promise not to pursue a career in the music industry until after she got her college degree. So far, Allie is the only daughter to follow in her parents’ musical footsteps. Allie is named after her Grandma Colleen Carroll (who was also a country music singer).
Allie married Jonathan Roberts, a Tennessee-based physical education teacher, in November 2018.
Her debut full-length album, Stones, was released in April 2021.
“I don’t really have [those] business connections,” Allie shared with American Songwriter about creating her own path in Nashville and advice from her father. “But ever since I was a kid, my dad has taught me basically one lesson, and that’s to put your head down and work. If I wasn’t where I wanted to be where I was in soccer, it’s because I didn’t work. If I wasn’t where I wanted to be in school, or with my friends, or just with myself, the answer was always to put my head down and work. So it never really crossed my mind to do it any other kind of way.”
Allie Colleen’s music is all about authenticity. She’s known for her candid lyrics that tackle everything from love and heartbreak to personal growth and perseverance. Her breakout single, “Work in Progress,” exemplifies this ethos. The song’s message of self-acceptance and embracing the journey of becoming who you are resonated with fans and helped set the tone for her future work.

Middle daughter August, 30, made her parents grandparents when she was just 19-years-old. In July 2013, she gave birth to daughter Karalynn with her then-boyfriend Chance Michael Russell. The high school sweethearts later married and welcomed a second daughter, Gwendolyn, into their family in December 2016. “Garth is thrilled [he’s] got a new granddaughter. She’s beautiful, healthy and wonderful,” Sandy shared with Radar after Gwendolyn’s arrival. August was previously married to Chance Russell.
Garth has often spoken about how proud he is of August’s strength as a mom and the love she has for her family. August has embraced her role as both a mother and a partner, preferring to keep her family life private. She graduated from the University of Oklahoma and has worked in law, showcasing her intelligence and resilience in balancing career and motherhood.

Now that all three daughters are adults, it is more difficult to get the entire family together. Garth has noted that he gets to see all of his three daughters together for Father’s Day, his birthday, and Christmas. Garth Brooks is now 62 years old (born February 7, 1962).
