Tim McGraw Confesses He Would've Died If Not For Wife Faith Hill

Tim McGraw and Faith Hill is one of the music industry's power couple that has endured the test of time. With 27 years of marriage, McGraw still professes his love for her wife, Faith Hill.

The two has shared a lot of adventures in life - their co-headlining concert tours, being on-screen husband and wife, and even raising three beautiful and talented daughters together.

Tim McGraw, Faith Hill Marriage

Speaking to Zane Lowe in Apple Music, Tim McGraw confessed that if it weren't for his wife Faith Hill, he wouldn't be here today.

"I guarantee you, had I not gotten married to Faith at 29 years old, A. I probably would've ran my career into the ground and B. I would've died already with my career into the ground - one or the other, and it wouldn't have ever been where it's at now," he told Lowe.

In 1996, McGraw asked for Hill's hand to marry him. The proposal took place during their Montana stop's dressing room of the "Spontaneous Combustion" Tour, which seemed to fit the impulsiveness he did at the time.

"She said, 'I can't believe you're asking me to marry you in a trailer house,' and I said, 'Well, we're country singers, what do you expect?'" Hill told People Magazine at the time. But it wasn't until later that Hill answered McGraw's question when he drew a "Yes" in the mirror of his trailer while he was on the stage performing. (via Biography)

McGraw previously talked to People Magazine about Hill and how she became a driving force of his sobriety.

"Well, I don't know if the maturity's occurred yet, but she put up with it for a while because I was pretty sneaky about it for a while," he explained. "But it was just overdoing stuff, and then I think when the kids got old enough that they could notice things is when she finally said, 'You've got to figure this out.'"

Faith Hill Is Also Tim McGraw's Creative Partner

Tim McGraw is releasing "Standing Room Only," which comes out Aug. 25, 2023. Elsewhere in his conversation with Zane Lowe, McGraw also detailed how his wife has a huge part in the creative process of the album.

"I'm always playing her the songs that I want to record and playing the mixes as I'll go along, and there's times we don't agree," the singer elaborated. "There's times where she goes, 'I don't like the way that sounds.' 'Well, I do, and that's the way it's going to stay.' And the same thing when she's making a record. It's like, 'I think this should be your single.' She goes, 'No, I don't like that song. This is going to be the single.' I go, 'All right.'"
