The multitalented McGraw and his wife of 25 years, Faith Hill, have raised three daughters together who are now grown up — Gracie, Maggie, and Audrey (via The Boot and Country Fancast). About being a dad, the singer has said, "The fathers out there can appreciate the first time that you hold your child is certainly the moment that you realize that anything else that you do has meant nothing until this moment" (via Today).
As for how Hedlund and the country star know one another, the new dad went on to share, "We laugh about it because it's probably been over 17 years since we did Friday Night Lights together, we played father and son."
Hedlund added, "So I got to first experience him as a father — in that film, somewhat more of an abusive one — but then we did Country Strong together, and we've remained such close friends and, you know, I've seen his children, his daughters, from the time they were 1, 3 and 5."
And now, it's McGraw's turn to watch Hedlund's child grow up.
