The Friends In Low Places singer continued, ‘Anyone who knows me knows my world begins and ends with Miss Yearwood, so she and I will ride through this together. 

‘And anyone who knows her knows she’s a fighter and she’s been doing everything right, so I know we’ll walk out the other side of this thing together.’

The couple, who’ve been wed since 2005, had been bunkering down at their home in Tennessee after a member of their staff tested positive for the virus.

Yearwood ‘is doing okay so far, but is dealing with symptoms’ in her battle, the statement on Brooks’ page read.
