Rumours of their divorce

Tim McGraw and Faith Hill, one of country music's favourite couples, have been at the centre of split rumours for years. In 2021, InTouch Weekly ran a story about the couple's split alongside the word "dumped". However, the title was misleading, as the situation actually had to do with McGraw leaving his label, Sony Music, while Hill was still under contract with the organisation. Gossip Cop, a website that fact-checks celebrity reporting, debunked the narrative that the couple was headed for a $200 million divorce.

In March 2020, the Globe reported that Hill and McGraw were living separate lives, which was also debunked by Gossip Cop. OK! magazine also implied that the couple was divorcing after more than two decades together, with a source stating that "no one would be surprised if they officially ended it in the near future, especially since they've been practically living separate lives for months". The source further described the reason behind the alleged incoming split, saying that "Tim is very flirtatious, which makes Faith jealous and nervous about other women working with him".

Despite these rumours, it seems that Hill and McGraw's relationship is still going strong. They have been married for over two decades and have three daughters together. In an interview in December, the couple opened up about their new family dynamics after becoming empty nesters when their youngest daughter moved out, revealing that they struggled at first to adjust to their new way of life. When asked about their strong personalities, McGraw told People:

> We're raised three strong, independent, strong-minded young women. And what I'm most grateful for is just how normal our kids are and how grounded they are and how much they respect themselves and other people...It makes me feel like we've done a pretty decent job, especially Mom.

The country music power couple first met at a Nashville gig in late 1994 and wed in October 1996 in McGraw's Louisiana hometown. They have since brought their love across the country and around the world through their Soul2Soul tour and other joint performances.

Faith's health issues

Faith Hill has been open about her health and fitness journey over the years. In an interview with Self magazine, she revealed that she doesn't diet but does watch what she eats. She told the magazine that she usually has a Greek salad with grilled chicken for lunch, varying the protein and sometimes using salmon instead of chicken. She also tries to drink 70 to 90 ounces of water a day.

In a throwback video shared by her daughter Audrey, a younger Faith detailed her love for fast food and junk food, including McDonald's, Wendy's, Frosties, chocolate, and potato chips with dip. However, she predicted that her diet would likely change as her career progressed, and indeed, her diet has evolved to include more healthy options.

Hill also prioritizes exercise, sharing that she tries to stay active most days and that it has a positive impact on her energy levels and overall well-being.

In addition to her own health, Hill has also been supportive of her family's health struggles. When her husband, Tim McGraw, collapsed on stage during a concert in Dublin, Ireland, she addressed his fans, explaining that he was dehydrated and that she had made the decision that he couldn't continue performing. She encouraged everyone to stay hydrated.

Hill also stood by her daughter Gracie's side when she received a debilitating health diagnosis of Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome (PCOS). Gracie shared her experience on social media, thanking her mother for her support and crediting her with helping her navigate the mental health aspects of her condition.

Tim's drinking problem

Tim McGraw's drinking problem has been well-documented by the media. In 2008, the country singer got sober, and in an interview with Men's Health, he credited his wife, Faith Hill, for playing a significant role in his decision to quit drinking. He explained that realising he was going to "lose everything" if he continued down that path served as a "big wake-up call".

In the same interview, McGraw recalled a moment when he knew he had to make a change: "I was getting out of and going to the liquor cabinet and taking a big shot at 8:00 in the morning and thinking, 'I have to wake the kids up.' I went straight to my wife and said, 'This is where I'm at.' I was scared. She just grabbed me and hugged me and changed my life."

McGraw's drinking problem also caused issues of trust for Hill when he was away on tour. A source claimed that "she played the devoted wife, but she would be fuming at home. Many nasty emails and texts went back and forth between them. Some of the emails even leaked."

Despite these challenges, the couple has stood by each other and worked through their difficulties. In an interview with Esquire, McGraw reflected on his journey to sobriety and how Hill's love has been a crucial part of his strength over the years. He gushed about his wife, saying, "My wife always says, 'You're not scared of anything.' I say, 'Ehhh, one thing. I'm looking at it right now.' I didn't know love could feel so good."

Today, McGraw and Hill continue to showcase their strong and loving relationship, often sharing snippets of their family life and career endeavours on social media.
