Tim McGraw is praising his wife of almost 28 years, Faith Hill. The Louisiana native took to social media to honor Hill, on September 21, which was Hill’s 57th birthday.
“Happy birthday to this remarkable woman!” McGraw writes, sharing a photo from the TV show, 1883, which they both starred in previously. “My beautiful, strong, crazy, badass wife!!!! I love my girl with everything that I am and could ever hope to be! She is our beacon, our rock, our strength. The girls and I are so very blessed!
“Our girls could not have a better role model in their lives as how to be an incredibly strong woman,” he continues. “And how to believe in themselves and be in charge of their lives (every aspect of their lives)! Let’s honor the women in our lives with respect and make sure that we fight for their rights right alongside them!”

McGraw has been vocal about his love for Hill, whom he met when both of their careers were just beginning, and immediately became smitten by her.
“I sang at the New Faces show in February ’94,” McGraw recently recalled to Lon Helton on Country Countdown USA. “Which, backstage that night was the very first time I met Faith. We took a picture. You gave me that picture and I posted it for our anniversary. My knees went weak. I was definitely smitten with her. It took her a while. I had that ugly red and black jacket on. I’m surprised she paid any attention to me.”
The father of three also spoke about their first encounter, in a social media post last year, in honor of their 27th wedding anniversary.

“This is the very first picture ever taken of us, the very first time we ever met back in spring of 1994,” McGraw posted. “This was backstage of the ‘New Faces’ show at the Country Radio Seminar……I fell for you in an instant! Today is our 27th wedding anniversary and I fall for you every day, every time you walk into the room, every time I see you in our three beautiful daughter’s smiles. I just keep falling and always will. Happy anniversary my love!”
In McGraw’s acceptance speech for the ACM Icon Award in 2023, McGraw reflected on how much better his life is because of Hill.
“My world changed the day I met Faith Hill … You’re my partner in life, you’re my partner musically,” McGraw said, his voice heavy with emotion. “And how blessed I am. I would not be where I am today, without you and your grace. I love you unconditionally.”
McGraw’s latest single, “One Bad Habit,” is currently in the Top 10 and climbing. Find all of McGraw’s music and upcoming shows at TimMcGraw.com.
