Tim McGraw and Faith Hill recently celebrated 30 years of marriage, but a woman from the "It's Your Love" singer's past is revisiting the moment she realized he'd met someone else.
Before McGraw and Hill became one of country music's most famous couples, he was engaged to Kristine Donahue.
Now, Donahue found a 2016 clip of McGraw explaining how he first met Hill—and her reaction is surprisingly candid.

In 2016, the couple told Bobby Bones about how they first met. McGraw recalled being backstage for a group photo when he met Hill. At the time, he was dating Donahue.
“I was dating somebody at the time, and I met Faith," he said, "and when I left the person I was dating says, ‘Um, I don’t know if I want you to say hi to her anymore.’ It was immediate.”
Donahue recently found the clip and shared it on TikTok, writing, “Women’s intuition, y’all. IT DOES NOT MISS.”
