Katie Couric's Second Husband John Molner: Inside Their Private Wedding, His Diagnosis Before the Big Day, and How He Stood by Her During Her Recent Health Scare
July 10, 2026

Tim McGraw's daughter has never been as far away from home as she is now. The country star had to say farewell to his oldest daughter, Gracie McGraw, as he dropped her off in her new home in California. The singer didn't even try to maintain a stoic facade, admitting freely that the send-off involved tears from everyone — himself included.
Although Tim confessed that he shed a good amount of tears, he noted the farewell was even harder for his wife, Faith Hill. Faith and Gracie's sisters, Maggie McGraw and Audrey McGraw, said their goodbyes at home. Tim and Gracie proceeded to get into his Cadillac Escalade filled with her things and drove cross-country to her new home.

It seems Gracie has gone through numerous changes in the last while. After the oldest McGraw sister was slammed for her weight, Instagram users began to notice how slim she became. Now, the young woman is moving out of her childhood home to pursue a career of her own.
After receiving scores of negative comments calling her overweight, Gracie seems to have taken steps to slim down. The feedback came after she posted a photo of herself in a bikini, and it led to Gracie mainly dressing in oversized clothes for the next month.
Many users wanted her to share her weight loss routine, with one user marveling, "How did you lose so much weight?"
The mean-spirited comments didn't scare Gracie, but in the following snapshots, she posted, the oldest McGraw sibling wore oversized shirts, presumably to hide her figure. That said, many of her recent images were met with countless compliments. One Instagram user wrote:
"You've lost a lot of weight. It looks great (and healthy)."
Many people commented that Gracie looked beautiful, and some even noted that she is almost the spitting image of her mother. One user mentioned, "You look so much like your mom. Beautiful." One user suspected that Gracie had had weight loss surgery, to which Gracie responded, "I did not."
Empty nest syndrome hit Faith hard, and the singer admitted that she could barely walk past her absent children's rooms at one point.
Gracie also shared photos of her attending the 2023 BAFTAs, which prompted another barrage of compliments. Many users wanted her to share her weight loss routine, with one user marveling, "How did you lose so much weight?" Another commenter gushed:
"Gracie you look beautiful all dressed up. Just like your momma."
The compliments kept coming the more Gracie posted. Another user begged her to share her weight loss plan with the words, "Please share your weight loss plan. You look 🔥🔥." Although Gracie didn't share her routine, she kept fans entertained with many more pictures of herself.
Gracie's followers couldn't stop gushing over how much she looked like her mother. Gracie posted a series of images wearing a red-and-black dotted dress and a black blazer, captioning the post simply, "Baz took the last one."
In response, her followers showered her with praise, writing things along the lines of, "You look like your mom in the first picture," and "Beautiful [you] look just like Faith..." And it seems Gracie and Faith aren't only close in physical appearance.

The mother-of-three recently opened up about her oldest moving out of the house, admitting that it has been an emotional event. Empty nest syndrome hit Faith hard, and the singer admitted that she could barely walk past her absent children's rooms at one point. Faith shared, "We are empty nesters now. It's heartbreaking, it's so difficult."
Besides a blossoming career in front of the camera, Gracie has a knack for singing.

Both Tim and Faith are incredibly proud of the three young women they've raised. The famous father raved about his girls, expressing his admiration for their strength, individuality, and force of will. He also mentioned he's proud of how respectful they are of others. The singer enthused:
"We couldn't ask for better kids. They're smarter than us in so many ways."
Although it's difficult for Faith and her husband to see the house empty, they are glad the three McGraw girls have found their own paths in life. Gracie has gone off to make something of herself after graduating from college.
Gracie graduated from New York University before moving out of her parents' house. Over the years, she has slowly started to make a name for herself in the entertainment industry, often joining her father in some of his projects.
Gracie and Faith appeared in an episode of "Be My Guest with Ina Garten" in 2022. The father-daughter pair helped the host bake a Coca-Cola cake, much to Gracie's delight. She has also built up something of a repertoire as an actress, starring in Tyler Perry's "If loving You Is Wrong" from 2018 to 2020.

After finishing her studies at NYU, Gracie decided to chase her dreams of being an actress, which prompted the move to Los Angeles. Although seeing his daughter go was a great challenge, Tim backed her completely. The doting dad commented on her choice of career:
"Gracie, our oldest daughter, is an actress in L.A., and she makes me proud every day because she's such a strong, independent young lady who speaks her mind. And she makes me proud every day of the way she lives her life."
Besides a blossoming career in front of the camera, Gracie has a knack for singing. She shares her mother and father's vocal talents and has repeatedly shown off her prowess as a singer on numerous occasions. She has notably performed with her dad at the Bridgestone Arena in Nashville, crooning along onstage.
