Coparenting takes a lot of time and effort, but its benefits cannot be understated.
When they divorced, this ishow Garth Brooks committed to co-parenting with his ex-wife Sandy Mahl.
Some reports state that they met at a bar, while others insist it was in college.
Ultimately, it was their common interest in music that led them to begin a life together.
Mahl moved to Nashville with Brooks and was there while he launched his music career.
They married in 1986 and would later divorce in 2001 (perWide Open Country).
“People constantly wanting your attention and yanking and pulling on him,” she said, perGood Housekeeping.
“He’d be gone eight to 10 weeks at a time.
But we both grew apart really, really quickly.”
For his part, Brooks admitted toUs Weeklythat he was traveling constantly during their marriage andit made things hard.
“That was how we ran it, because we knew it was right for those kids.
It was simple.”
