Tim McGraw Lost 40 Lbs Due to Daughter — At 56, His Appearance Amazes in New Pic

• Country music star Tim McGraw almost lost his family to addiction and alcohol abuse.
• His wife Faith Hill gave him an ultimatum that made him turn his life around and become a better husband and father.
• Now he is in the best shape at 56 years old, and he and Hill could not be happier.

Country music sensation Tim McGraw met a whirlwind of success that led him into a dark hole. Fortunately, the singer had a great support system to get him out of it.

McGraw and his country star wife, Faith Hill, have been married since 1996. The couple met that same year when Hill opened for McGraw at his Spontaneous Combustion Tour.

In 1997, they welcomed their first daughter, Gracie. The following year, the couple had another child, Maggie, and in 2001, their third daughter Audrey arrived.

Finding a woman he loved and becoming a father came when McGraw was at the peak of his career. He was topping the charts and developed an addiction to mood-altering substances.

At that time in his career, the singer thought he always had to be "on," so the mood-altering substances gave him the power and confidence he needed.

That was just the beginning of his downward spiral. McGraw started drinking and partying too much, but his lifestyle started to affect his family life.

The father of three realized he was getting out of control when he was filming "Four Christmases." McGraw had grown up being active and playing sports, so he was in shock when he found himself weighing 215 pounds.

He realized he had used the peak of his career to do other things instead of taking care of his health. The singer confessed, "I was in the prime of my career, and I wasn't capitalizing on it."

How Did Tim McGraw Get Sober and Lose 40 Lbs?

Besides his own realizations, a close source revealed that McGraw's biggest wake-up call was when his wife told him, "You can either have your family, or you can have this horrible lifestyle. You can't have both."

The thought of losing his family led the "It's Your Love" singer to quit cold turkey. To hear his wife tell him he was doing too much and have his children not grow up with a present father was something McGraw was not willing to endure. A close source added, "He wanted to be a real father to his girls."

Hill was heartbroken by her husband's behavior, but she would not give up on their family. McGraw is also grateful to have someone to hold him accountable and pull him out of some of his dark moments. "My wife makes me a better man," he gushed.

However, his wife is not the only brutally honest person in the family. As McGraw grappled with his weight, he also had his daughter Gracie tell him he looked "big" on screen.

All of these interventions from the women in his life opened up McGraw to his new and improved lifestyle. The singer started with a 20-minute run, then weightlifting, and in no time, he noticed how impactful it was for his voice.

The "Don't Take the Girl" star said he used his whole body to sing and felt more in control of his voice, making it sound even better. Now McGraw has the best body at 56 years old and shows it off during his performances. His fans also love the sight of his muscles.

How Does Tim McGraw Amaze Fans with His Appearance at 56?

McGraw recently shared pictures from his concert, and one of them showed off his chiseled body. The singer wore blue jeans with a chunky belt, a waistcoat that made his muscles shine, cowboy boots, and a cowboy hat.

The singer posed with his head facing down and arms spread out, showing off all the muscular details in his arms. The image was a hit among his fans, who praised the singer for how good he looked at his age.

"Can you seriously get any better? You are amazing!" remarked a fan, with many more adding that the singer was aging like "fine wine" and telling him how hot and great he looked.

McGraw worked hard for how he looks now; he went from a damaging lifestyle to working out four hours a day to a point where his wife and doctors had to tell him to slow down because the intense workouts would harm his body in the future.

Nevertheless, McGraw has developed a healthy relationship with his fitness and keeps his body in shape without straining it too much. It is clear that his improved lifestyle is good for his singing and an even better experience for his fans.

Despite the hurdles that almost ended their marriage, Hill is still head over heels in love with her husband, even more, that he has recommitted himself to their family.

Hill gushed over her husband and said he still inspired her. She especially loved seeing McGraw embrace fatherhood.

McGraw also could not stop saying good things about his wife. Hill had taken a break from her career to raise her children, but her husband is still in awe of her voice and talents.
