It appears Faith Hill has found the magical fountain of youth, at least according to her husband, Tim McGraw. In a recent appearance on Jimmy Kimmel Live!, the “I Called Mama” singer praised his wife, who celebrated her 53rd birthday on September 21.
“The older she gets, the better looking she gets, the smarter she gets, the dumber I get,” Tim quipped. “I’ve done really well. This birthday has been a milestone, I think for us, just because of all that’s going on, and our kids moving out, our youngest daughter moving out. We’re going to be empty nesters here coming up. She’s stuck with me now.”
Tim’s oldest two daughters, Gracie and Maggie, both live in Los Angeles, while their youngest daughter, Audrey, has unexpectedly been at home with her parents, due to the coronavirus pandemic.
“She’s really tired of us,” Tim said with a laugh. “You can imagine, graduating high school and everything shut down in March, so she’s been stuck with us since March.”
The family did take a few cross-country drives since the beginning of the pandemic, which did not help Audrey’s desire for independence.
“Listening to my music and listening to dad jokes, she’s really over us,” Tim said. “My wife’s been over me for about 20 years, but my youngest kid’s really over me.”
Tim and Faith will celebrate their 24th wedding anniversary on October 6. Although they could certainly afford to buy each other whatever they wanted, the Louisiana native said they prefer to keep the gift-giving simple.
“A couple of years ago we decided that what we’re going to do is we’re only going to spend a hundred dollars each for Christmases or birthdays,” Tim said. “I mean every now and then, I’ll go over the limit and do something stupid. But for the most part, for the last four or five years, we’ve tried to stick to about a hundred bucks each to give gifts. This year, she just got some roses, so that was all she got this year.”
