Personal Life:
Tim McGraw was raised by his mother, Elizabeth “Betty” Ann D’Agostino, and believed that his stepfather, Horace Smith, was his biological father. He found out that his bio dad was actually New York Mets and Philadelphia Phillies pitcher Frank Edwin “Tug” McGraw Jr., with whom his mother had an earlier private relationship. Tug denied being Tim’s father for 7 years, until a teenage Tim started bearing so much resemblance that the paternity could not be denied.

After just breaking off a prior engagement to another woman in 1996, Tim fell in love with Faith Hill while touring with her. The pair married on Oct. 6, 1996. They have three children together, Gracie Katherine (born in 1997), Maggie Elizabeth (born in 1998) and Audrey Caroline (born in 2001). After they married, the couple vowed to never be apart from one another for more than three days at a time!
