Faith Hill and Tim McGraw have quickly become one of the most adorable couples in music, so it’s hard to wrap one’s head around the fact that Hill was engaged to another man when she first met McGraw. Zimbio reports that Hill and record producer Scott Hendricks were together for a few years and they even got engaged. However, once Hill went on tour with McGraw in 1996, it was game over for her as she opted to break off her engagement to Hendricks in order to pursue a relationship with McGraw. As we all know, things went swimmingly between Hill and McGraw, but she faced backlash.
In an interview with People, Hill explained that despite what people may think about her and how she broke up with Hendricks, she had no regrets. “If someone is going to judge my character because I was engaged to somebody and then I left him for somebody else — ‘Oh, okay, now she’s a slut and a bad person’ — I can’t control that,” she told the outlet. “But I wasn’t about to let Tim slip through my hands.”

Before Hendricks, Hill was married to Daniel Hill (yep, where she got her last name) for six years, but the pair called it quits in 1994 as Hill continued her music career. Call it fate or call it what you will, but it took a lot of things to happen for McGraw and Hill to come together.
