Tim McGraw and Faith Hill are the definition of the term: “relationship goals.” The country singer, 53, took to Instagram on Monday to reminisce over his 1996 Spontaneous Combustion tour, in which Faith, now 52, served as the opening act. “Thought I’d take y’all back a bit…. From the ‘Spontaneous Combustion’ Tour… we just started dating…..,” Tim captioned the vintage photo, which showed the pair singing a duet on stage.
He’s pictured wearing his signature cowboy hat, while the blonde beauty donned her short pixie cut. Even then, when the pair had just started getting to know one another, their chemistry was off the charts.
Tim and Faith‘s first meeting occurred during a Nashville gig in late 1994 — when they were each seeing other people. At the time, Tim was dating Kristine Donahue, and Faith had just finalized her divorce from Daniel Hill.
Two years later, after connecting on Tim’s 1996 tour, it didn’t take long for their love story to blossom. The country stars tied the knot that same year in a surprise October wedding. Fast-forward to over two decades later and their love is still as strong as ever.
Faith and Tim, who often share sweet messages to each other on social media, recently celebrated the August 21 release of his new album Here on Earth. — Tim’s first solo record in five years. Faith, along with the couple’s three daughters, Gracie, 23, Maggie, 22, and Audrey, 18, threw Tim a surprise listening party at their home.
“Here is a small clip of our special evening celebrating the man we all adore in the McGraw house of women,” Faith wrote in the caption of an Instagram video (seen above) that showed the couple slow-dancing to Tim’s new music on August 17.
The McGraw ladies decorated their home with sparkling string lights for “an unforgettable evening,” as Faith described the special night. “We listened to the double vinyl records blaring from the speakers!!!!!! A night we will never forget,” she added.
