“When Garth and I got married, I had just turned 41. I inherited these three girls. I wasn’t even sure what to do with them – I had a dog,” Yearwood recalls with a laugh. “In my 20s, I made a conscious effort not to have children because I chose my career. A lot of my friends like Faith Hill and Martina McBride had their kids and took them with. But that wasn’t what I wanted to do, so I missed that moment. But now I have the best of everything. The girls allowed me to be in their lives. It worked out really well for me - I got to do everything I wanted and still have the family.”
