The partnership of Tim McGraw and Faith Hill and their rampant success has made them almost synonymous with country music. McGraw and Hill share dozens of awards between the two of them, and both of them have forged a powerful path in country music separately. When they toured together, they created one of the top-grossing musical tours in country music. Both of them have also recorded duets that have consistently performed well in the charts.

The dynamic duo has found a significant following for their incredible music in the last decade, and for good reason— their musical talents perfectly complement one another. Moreover, their long marriage and love for each other have cemented their reputation as a powerhouse in the music industry. It isn't often that a marriage lasts for over two decades when the spotlight of fame is so strong, but McGraw and Hill have made it look easy. 

The couple shares three daughters: Grace, Maggie and Audrey. In past interviews, both McGraw and Hill have spoken about their love for their family and children and have always set an example for how to be supportive parents.

Onstage and off-stage, the power couple has become one of the strongest and most adored couples in the music industry, and they have been together for over 26 years. On many occasions, McGraw has spoken highly of his love for his beautiful wife, and vice versa. They even played as on-screen husband and wife on the “Yellowstone” prequel “1883,” which got fans of the Country music couple even more hooked. 

Read on to learn more about McGraw and Hill’s marriage and how they celebrate another milestone in their lives.

Hill married McGraw in 1996, and have been together since. During the length of their marriage, the couple has raised three girls, Gracie, Maggie, and Audrey, who have all grown up to become remarkable women, with the youngest being 21 years old. As can be expected, the girls have taken after their parents and are all exceptional at singing.

After graduating from New York University, Gracie, 26, the couple’s eldest, moved to Los Angeles and pursued a career in acting. She appeared as Tanya on Tyler Perry’s “If Loving You is Wrong,” and on “Be My Guest with Ina Garten” in 2022 along with her mother. 

McGraw gushed to People Magazine in 2020 about how proud he is of her. "Gracie, our oldest daughter, is an actress in L.A., and she makes me proud every day because she's such a strong, independent young lady who speaks her mind," he said. "And she makes me proud every day of the way she lives her life."

Maggie, the couple's second eldest daughter, turned 25 on Aug. 14, 2023. McGraw was fond of her children, which is why when Maggie turned 22 in 2020, he posted a side-by-side photo of Maggie when she was young and her recent picture at the time. Fans of McGraw couldn’t help but notice the striking resemblance between Maggie and her mom. Many commented that they shared the same radiant smile.

Meanwhile, their youngest, Audrey, 21, graduated from high school in 2020. Like her parents and older sisters, she’s also walking toward the path of show business. She was featured in a Tory Burch campaign and starred in her dad’s music video for "7500 OBO." Audrey also inherited her parents’s musical prowess, as seen in a piano cover of Pat Benatar’s “Fire and Ice” on Instagram.

When the couple is not busy filling arenas, they’re occupied with their acting careers. McGraw first appeared on “Yellowstone” as James Dutton in 2021 and reprised the role in “1883.” 

“I’ve been a fan of ‘Yellowstone’ since it came out,” he told CMT in an interview. “(‘Yellowstone’ creator) Taylor (Sheridan) called and goes, ‘Hey man, I want you to be in ‘Yellowstone.’ You’re going to play the original Dutton who founded the Yellowstone ranch.’ He said, ‘You’re also going to have a wife. Do you think Faith would be interested in playing your wife?’”

McGraw explained that it took him three days “to get up the nerve” to ask Hill about being in the show. 

“She said sure, ‘I’d be glad to do it. It’d be fun.’ So, we did two flashback episodes. The first thing we shot, it was just so much fun. We’re going so fast, and the shootout was so great. I remember gettin’ off the horse and walkin’ around going, ‘I don’t care if I do any other film for the rest of my life, I wanna do westerns from now on.’”

After reviewing the story for “1883,” the couple was instantly interested in appearing on the show: “When (Sheridan) sent the script for ‘1883,’ we both read it, and Faith and I were like, ‘This is too special not to do.’”

Being on the show together has been an incredible bonding experience for the couple. 

"To see my beautiful wife on horseback, firing guns, and having dirt all over her face, I just sit in awe. She's a strong woman, anyway,” McGraw told Entertainment Weekly. “Taylor said early on to me, 'Man, you'll just get on that horse. You're not scared of anything.' I said, 'I'm scared of one thing. She's right over there.'"

McGraw has spoken fondly of Hill on many occasions. In an interview with Entertainment Tonight Canada, the “Something Like That” singer gushed about her wife when he was asked about the key to a lasting marriage. 

“I don’t know if there’s a key. We always say we’re 27 years coming up, it’s like 96 in show business,” he jokingly revealed. “It’s almost like dog years.”

On a serious note, McGraw confessed that they “just made” a commitment early on in their relationship. 

“..When we first decided we were getting married and having kids, that we wouldn’t just walk out the door when problems arose,” he added. 

Aside from this, he also mentioned that one of the “important aspects” of their relationship with each other and their three children was being “brutally honest.”

“Faith and I were going to raise our girls to be strong, independent and fierce and have their own minds and have their own opinions,” he explained. “And sometimes I go, ‘Dang, do we want them to be that independent and strong?’ But yeah, we’re so proud of them.”

On Valentine's Day 2023, McGraw reacted to his “It’s Your Love” music video 26 years after its release. The country star was clearly smitten by her wife’s beauty in the video. 

“I’m always intimidated making videos with Faith just because she just is so beautiful, I mean she just, the camera loves her,” he said in the video. “I always call them 'the beauty and the beast’ videos.”

McGraw captioned his video with a sweet message, saying: “Forever grateful for this love and the memories. Happy Valentine’s Day my love @faithhill ❤️ #ItsYourLove.” 

Fans were captivated by the sweet gesture that McGraw made. Some even confessed that they even cried when McGraw and Hill married each other in 1996.
