The country music duo have been married for almost three decades
Tim McGraw and Faith Hill may have an enduring love story but before they were the ultimate country music couple, Tim's heart belonged to someone else.
Tim split from his ex-girlfriend in 1996, which was the year he married Faith.

Tim and Faith met
They first laid eyes on one another at a Nashville gig at the end of 1994. They were both involved with other people at the time. However, Tim later confessed he fell for Faith "in an instant," after meeting her.
"I looked at her and was smitten right away," he told Jimmy Fallon.

Faith joined Tim on his Spontaneous Combustion tour in 1996, and they soon became a couple.
Later, Tim told People of that time: "We were young and silly and goo-goo-eyed in love."

Tim dated Kristine Donahue for three years. They were an item from 1993-1996 and stepped out on numerous red carpets together. Several outlets reported they were engaged but Tim called it off once he went on tour with Faith.
Years later, Tim was forced to deny reports that he had a "secret son" — who was not Kristine's biological child — with Kristine.
The 23-year-old claimed Tim had helped raise him when he was in a romance with his mom and even claimed he had maintained a relationship with him years later.
