In 1994 Yearwood married Robert "Bobby" Reynolds, bassist and vocalist for the popular country band the Mavericks. You may know them from hit singles like "All You Ever Do Is Bring Me Down." With Yearwood's powerhouse performances and the Mavericks producing a Grammy award-winning album, these two made headlines as a top country power couple in the nineties. Sadly the two divorced in 1999. For Yearwood, this marked a difficult period, but also a time of self-discovery. "Since I do hang on to the past with my fingernails, divorce was difficult," she admits. "It's a serious decision involving someone you're tied to emotionally, so it's hard to move on" (via Country Daily).

Sadly, while Yearwood has gone on to well-known success and a long-lasting marriage, Reynolds hasn't fared quite as well, battling a debilitating opiate addiction in 2014 that caused him and the Mavericks to part ways (via Rolling Stone). Fortunately, by 2018, Reynolds was back on the road to success, sharing in an Entertainment or Die interview, "I take full responsibility for my failures and that's why I began the recovery process." Still creative, our last update on Reynolds shared that he was running an Etsy shop with partner Michelle, featuring original art and paintings (via Etsy).
