Garth Brooks is considering buying a house in Ireland with his wife, Trisha Yearwood, amid an accusation of sexual assault against him.
The country star, on his "Inside Studio G" Facebook Live show late last month, opened up about potential plans for buying a home in Europe, which Brooks, 62, attributed to his wife. The conversation was sparked by a video sent in from an Irish fan, referencing earlier comments he made about living in the country.
"Actually, the queen is pushing hard for the house in Ireland," Brooks said. "I think this last time over there, she just fell head over heels in love with the country."
The "Friends in Low Places" singer recalled playing two weekends of shows in Ireland, with Yearwood, 60, in tow. "Everyone was so sweet to her," he said.

The comments come after Brooks was accused of sexual assault and battery in October by a former hair and make-up artist, alleging he raped her in a Los Angeles hotel room in 2019.
In the lawsuit, filed by a Jane Roe in California court and obtained by USA TODAY, she claimed she was first hired in 1999 as a hairstylist and makeup artist for Yearwood and that she continued to work for her "over the years." In 2017, she started to do make-up and hair styling for Brooks. The alleged abuse began two years later.
