Faith Hill and Tim McGraw first met in 1994, but they were seeing other people.

Like many country singers, Nashville, Tenn., provided a perfect setting for sparks to fly. In 1994 at the New Faces Show, when the pair first met, they were both seeing other people. Tim McGraw was dating Nashville real estate agent Kristine Donahue, and Faith had just finalized her divorce from music producer Daniel Hill.

Two years later, Faith joined Tim on his Spontaneous Combustion tour, and they began a relationshipIn October 2015, per Us Weekly, Tim revealed that he proposed to Faith on tour. He recalled, “We were in the dressing room [in] June 26, 1996 … and we’d been on tour for a while together, and I joked around with her about getting married. And so I looked at her, grabbed her by the hand, and dropped forward [on my knees] onstage.”

Tim continued, “She said, ‘We’re at a country music festival in a trailer house, and you’re asking me to marry you?’ And I said, ‘Yeah.’ So I went onstage … When I came back offstage, [I saw] a Sharpie with lipstick kisses all over it, saying, ‘Yes! I’m gonna be your wife.’”

Where does Tim McGraw live?

Tim, Faith, and their three daughters live in a mansion in Nashville, Tennessee. Taste of Country reported at the beginning of 2020 that the country singers’ home is quite historic. It was built in the 19th century and it stands at about 3,150 square feet, so it is quite spacious! The home consists of “three bedrooms, four bathrooms, a master suite with fireplace and an eat-in kitchen,” Taste of Country says. And it also has six other fireplaces.

Overall, the property is 622 acres and also fits a 12-stall stable, a barn, and a storage building. Just when you thought it couldn’t get even more luxurious, it also has two caretaker homes, a restored log cabin, and two guest houses. 

This isn’t the first Tennessee estate that they’ve owned. The couple purchased a place in Leiper’s Fork, a city in the Southern state, then they sold it in two separate transactions. According to Taste of Country, “The superstar couple listed the property in Leiper’s Fork, near Franklin, Tenn., for $20 million in 2013, and sold off 131 acres of it in a separate sale in 2015.”

Tim and Faith also own a private island in the Bahamas.

In 2003, Tim and Faith bought their very own 20-acre paradise located in the Bahamas. They named it L’île d’Anges. Even though they have owned it for well over a decade, they actually didn’t move in until 2012. Their tropical abode was a cover story for Architectural Digest back in 2017. Faith talked about how the process of turning the island into their home wasn’t something they were prepared for.

“We set out to build a house,” Hill told AD. “We had no idea we had to build everything else. We basically had to build a little town,” Hill told AD. Getting a whole team of people to set up basic necessities like infrastructure and electricity didn’t come to mind that quickly for them when they first acquired their new spot. “You don’t quite put all that together at first,” McGraw said. 

But even after all the work they put in it, they have not listed it for sale. It currently has a price tag of $35 million, Page Six reported. We’ll see who will be the next lucky owners!
