Martina, Vince, Trisha in 'LHJ'
Martina McBride, Vince Gill and Trisha Yearwood chat about faith, family and what's most important in life for the June issue of Ladies' Home Journal, which hits stands May 8.
Martina shares how she's teaching her daughter Delaney, 12, how to think for herself.
"We've talked about Britney Spears, a person who has feelings and has gone through a hard time," Martina tells LHJ. "She was on the cover of a magazine Delaney wanted to buy last week and I said, 'It's your decision, but I want you to know that they are using her to sell magazines with a picture they basically stalked her to get. That's not something I would really support, so think about it.' And she didn't buy it."
Vince addresses the constant renovations at the Belle Meade home he shares with wife Amy Grant. "I'm a closet architect," he says. "We're redoing all the floors right now and I have many other plans, but I have to be very, very careful of how I let them out. Amy does not like change. But she's starting to trust me."
Trisha discusses how she learned to lean on Garth Brooks. "My dad passed away about a year and a half ago, and I can't imagine what going through losing him would have been like without Garth," she tells the magazine. "I just knew, when it happened, if I could get to Garth I'd be OK. And yes, I've always been that person who would say, even to Garth at first, 'I can take care of myself.'
"But he would say, 'I know you can, it's just my honor to take care of you. And there will be times when I need you to take care of me.' It's a partnership. I didn't know that existed until this happened. He's the love of my life."
