Their daughter, Grace, fronted an all-female band called "Tingo" while in high school while Maggie was part of a band called "Sister Supply" when she was attending Stanford University. Wide Open Country reports that Gracie attended and graduated from New York University, after which she decided to go to LA to pursue acting. 

About this decision, Tim said, "She's 22, and on one hand, it's sad, but on the other hand to have the gumption to go out and chase your dreams ... it feels like we did a pretty good job."

McGraw first appeared on “Yellowstone” as James Dutton in 2021, and reprised the role in “1883.” “I’ve been a fan of ‘Yellowstone’ since it came out,” he said. “(‘Yellowstone’ creator) Taylor (Sheridan) called and goes, ‘Hey man, I want you to be in ‘Yellowstone.’ You’re going to play the original Dutton who founded the Yellowstone ranch.’ He said, ‘You’re also going to have a wife. Do you think Faith would be interested in playing your wife?’”

McGraw explained that it took him three days “to get up the nerve” to ask Hill about being in the show. “She said sure, ‘I’d be glad to do it. It’d be fun,’” he recalled. “So, we did two flashback episodes. The first thing we shot, it was just so much fun. We’re going so fast, and the shootout was so great. I remember gettin’ off the horse and walkin’ around going, ‘I don’t care if I do any other film for the rest of my life, I wanna do westerns from now on.’”

After reviewing the story for “1883,” the couple was instantly interested in appearing on the show. “When (Sheridan) sent the script for ‘1883,’ we both read it, and Faith and I were like, ‘This is too special not to do,’” McGraw said.

Being on the show together has been an incredible bonding experience for the couple. "To see my beautiful wife on horseback, firing guns, and having dirt all over her face, I just sit in awe. She's a strong woman, anyway,” McGraw said. “Taylor (Sheridan) said early on to me, 'Man, you'll just get on that horse. You're not scared of anything.' I said, 'I'm scared of one thing. She's right over there.'"
