Capital Records herself in the ' 50s still young g wasn't fully focused on Tunes early on he was an athlete in track and field before eventually landing at Oklahoma State on a sports scholarship it was here that he linked up with the guitarist buddy and they started playing gigs at local bars and clubs just planting those first seeds of what would grow into an un stoppable career after graduating in 1984 the hustle continued as gu tried and failed to crack into the Nashville Scene initially in classic pursue your dreams fashion though he circled back a few years later and let's just say the rest is history 1989 saw G's debut album drop setting the stage for an absolute onslaught of number one hits record Breakers and history makers who could forget Classics like Friends in Low

Places sold out Arena tours prestigious honors by the mid99s they were living a real life fairy tale complete with three adorable daughters but as G's white hot star continued burning brighter the strain of his insane schedule and endless time on the road started weighing heavily on his home life with Sandy the fairy tale facade soon began crumbling in sy's own words the couple simply grew apart really really quickly during those grueling years the endless work obligations long stretches away on tour it all proved too much for their High School sweetheart romance and so in 2000 after 15 years of marriage and three kids together gu and Sandy decided to throw in the towel and end their storybook Union for good just like that it was over of course when you're as wealthy and famous as G

wrong in their marriage but where one story book love story ended another incredible romance was just getting started for our country king you see even as G was becoming one of the biggest entertainers in the planet in the '90s he actually first crossed paths with his future second wife Trisha herwood Trisha is a fellow country singer and over a decade earlier when they were just to
