Says a LOT about his mom that he turned out so well. Glad he had a chance to connect with his dad before his dad died, but mom deserves ALL the credit. 🤗
Bravo to his mother AND to the step father who raised him!🎉
That step-dad WAS his Daddy…..not the sperm donor……his Mom must be so proud to have raised such a good man😊
and his stepfather, the man that RAISED him!
@@geel1866if you listen again to the tape his father would not acknowledge him until he was eighteen. This is not the mother’s fault. You don’t know the story so keep your insults towards his mother to yourself.
@@carljack1921He didn’t know who his father was which means his mother didn’t know either or she kept it to herself. Either way she still played a part in the deception.
You can see in his eyes that his heart swelled with happiness when he confirmed he was his son. What a shame he missed out such a great child/person. His stepdad and mother did a great job at raising a good man. God bless them.
💯EXACTLY HIS MOTHER DID A GREAT JOB RAISING HIM!!
I think it was pain.
I've been threw it! The pain a person feels is unbearable! Knowing no one acknowledged your life makes you a Zero!
Not every one has a Happy ending!
Tim is a real man. His dad was living with with Tim and Faith when he died in 2004. That is an incredible story of forgiveness.
I guess the bio Dad became comfortable because Tim didn't need his money.
@@adriennecrosby4105a lot of men reach out to adult children and exes that they did dirty to have caregivers when they are old and sick. They use their love and vulnerability to get a free nurses, food and housing. It’s a win-win for the narcissistic absent parent.
Forgiveness is the best gift you can give someone else and yourself. God's word says
"But if you do not forgive others their sins, your Father will not forgive your sins."
Amen
❤❤❤🙏🙏
Grown man still feels a child’s pain. God bless you brother
The concept of a "grown man" is an illusion.
Men hurt too. What, were not supposed to cry?
As if .....
The body ages but the soul never does,,,his soul feels the pain
The hurt you see on his face is heartbreaking. I am so glad he had his mom and step dad to show him love.
Right? And I'm so angry that his biological father only wanted to meet him until he assumed he was too old for anyone to demand child support. I hope that's not what that timing meant.
@melissasaint3283 ...there are laws that a judge to charge the biological father or estate to pay back owed child support. Depends on the laws of each state.
He was of legal age. Sounds like an agreement maybe between mom/dad. I met my bio dad at 17. I know the confusion he's going through.
His mama lied to him, prolly Mr smith too
@@tupounetane2780 No ,I don't think so ....he wanted no contact until 18 ....jeez no child support then
Tim you are 1000 better than your dad. You have three beautiful daughters with faith and you’ve been there for them since the day they were born. Doesn’t matter what your dad did. You’re an incredible man because of your mother.
🇺🇸✔🙏Good man
Great Singer, Love ya Tim.
From Spring Hill, FL.
11/8Wed/2023💃Oh baby🏃
Your right, if some of us followed in our fathers footsteps we'd be no good womanizer and drunks
He is the picture of his dad
If Tim wasn't famous, I wonder how different that conversation would have been.
@@user-qq5bk9vh8cTim wasn’t famous at 18
I can’t imagine being so cruel to your own child…. You can see the heartbreak in Tim’s eyes… what Tug did was unforgivable… he was a coward for not being responsible…. Tim is a credit to his mother.
Agreed!! His father was a freaking MLB player, so it wasn’t like he didn’t have the money to pay support, His real father sounds like a dirtbag

@@marybodnar4749his mother made him the wonderful man he is. When he was sick and dying, Tim and Faith took him in and cared for him. His mother raised a man to be proud of!!! ❤
His stepfather was a good friend of mine. He raised up right
💯
The sadness in his eyes is heartbreaking.
Did you notice the dreamy female eyes? Tim is a she and Faith is a he. Once you learn the gender differences in human anatomy, you will see them everywhere. Everything is upside down and backwards. If you want to be this famous, you must sell your soul. Satan rules this world.
True.
because something is missing in his life I am glad he found it.
Interesting how:
His "father" (by DNA) *ONLY* acknowledged his son; *after* he turned 18!!! 🧐
aka: had *no legal* responsibility to him/his personage; *financially/morally/etc* 🤔
-THE END ⚠️
Hiding this fact from a child is so wrong. I found out at 60 & never met my real dad. I'll always be upset that I was deceived. Be honest people.... just be honest.
Beautiful smile of relief when his father acknowledged him.
He looks just like him. He couldn’t deny it.
The pain of his Dad abandoning him and the heartbreak of finally knowing who his father was tells you how important fathers are to their children. I can relate
to his story.
That validation is all he needed. It means everything. God bless you Tim.
Poor fella😢
Tim is the perfect girl dad.
Yeah~ he needed to know if he was the sperm donor because he certainly wasn’t his father.
So much truth in the saying that all kids deserve parents, but not all parents deserve their kids
💯AMEN!!!
@cvent8454 EXACTLY 💯
Tim said for most of his teen years he wouldn't acknowledge that he was his son. Thanks Dad. Now I'm 18 and you don't have to give my mom a penny for all the food I ate, but hello dad. I hope Tim had a great relationship with his mom.
Tim I loved meeting your Dad that time in Monroe! So glad you had the years you had. Definitely a once in a lifetime experience for me. 😊
No Tim could have sued his dad n got the money
Well, I am not sure what the laws were back then BUT...in the state of Texas if your child is 18 you can get back child support from age 14 to 18 so only 4 years. You have until they are 21 to pursue it.
Back pay if she ask for it.
Exactly
The emotional joy of a little boy/now man being claimed is both heart-breaking and heart-warming...❤
Thank you for speaking openly about this and being vulnerable. God Bless you.❤
My ex walked out of our lives 37 years ago. Walked away from our son. My son died at 49 still wanting to know why his Dad didn't want him. 😢 Men destroy their kids with this bs.
You are so right! The damage they can cause! It’s awful.
😢 I'm sorry for your loss. I met my father in my 30s. Im in my 60s now and he died in 2019. My sibs from his side still reject me but he and I had an opportunity I don't regret. I still felt he missed out on me such an amazing opportunity he missed out on. I wanted him and myself to have an opportunity to find love, honor and respect. We I feel did. I again am sorry for your loss. No words but my sincerest hope of comfort. ❤❤
Sometimes it's the mother who did the damage
@@kathrynalexander1758 of course it could be either or!
Who does that?!!
Tim, your Mother raised you into right and did a great job😀
I have been aware of this story for many years. To see the tears in Tim's eyes even @ this point is proof that that kind of pain doesn't go away. Who knows what Tug's reasons were for not acknowledging Tim sooner, but Tim is obviously the bigger man as he took care of his father @ the end. Forgiveness doesn't change the reality of their lives, but it does tell us of the character of this good man (Tim). His mother gave him a good foundation! ❤
Is your mother still living?
Not wanting to pay child support, insurance, be there for his son.
You can hear how much hurt & pain the sperm donor caused his child.
The reason is obvious: child support. Only admitted paternity AFTER his son turned 18. No child support. Miser.
There's no excuse for ignoring your child
Tim McGraw has shown himself to be a loyal & present husband & father. He did this with his strength within & understanding the cost of not having a dad. I hope Tug's acknowledgement of his son was enough to fill some of that void.
So happy he finally received acknowledgement. Validation. Sweet. Bless him.
The fact that he waited until Tim was 18 makes me wonder if dad didn't want to pay child support.
His mom did a fantastic job raising Tim by herself, he turned out to be a good man!
Sorry to say but I thought that as well- unless he didn’t want to have to deal with any baby mama drama.
Those emotions are real! No matter how old we are, we all want to be loved and accepted by our parents.
Yes we do
Absolutely
They are God to us first…
Indeed even @ 66yr of age
Yes
Dad is a deadbeat - Tim is a LEGEND.
Yes! His dad didn’t want to pay child support so wouldn’t acknowledge him until he was 18. I’m grateful for Tim he acknowledged it, as we can see how much he needed that, but still… He looks so much like his dad! But Tim is such a better human being AND father!
@@aprild75
Is there a reason you have to yell that to everyone? Texting in capital letters is equivalent to yelling in a face to face convo. No one wants to be yelled at over a simple conversation like Tim McGraw’s paternity.
@aprild75 why the caps ?

I am 64 and crying because I remember at 21 asking the man I was told was my father that same question, Do you think I'm your daughter? He said yes, but never wanted a relationship with me. It was painful because I desperately wanted a father. My father played in the NFL for Buffalo and a few othe teams. I never asked him for anything. Thanks for sharing this. Tears flowing.
His loss.
I'm so sorry you had to go through that, too. Celebrities don't want to pay the big bucks to support their children in these situations. My father, the same. It's hard to move past it and heal. I hope you were able to.❤
I’m sorry for your pain 😢
Something like this happens and you ask, why me. It is natural. Many of us go through some really difficult and hurtful events in our life. But from experience there are many things you have or you have learned that you can see big blessings from and this is where you head needs to be. The little girl needed a dad, wanted a dad and who could blame you. But a dad that would abandon a child he knew was his is not a dad but sperm donor.
I know this is almost trite but some of the wisest advice you can give another person does sound trite. How you face your adversity is up to you. What you do with what you learn is all you. A sperm donor did nothing to make you who you are. But that man gave you the opportunity to learn from his choice and how you go about that is your choice. I know adversity, an old friend . And I can tell you this works. You can find peace by asking God to help you let go and turn it all over to Him. Turn your adversity into that old friend.
I know his pain. But like you my dad hasn't even tried to have a relationship with me even though I tried and tried then finally I just stopped trying. But all I wanted all my life was a father that cared about me. I was told he didn't want anymore kids. Mom got pregnant and he was gone before I was born. He was off with moms best friend. So I got the wrong end of the stick on this deal. My grandma saved me and loved me with everything in her. My other mother and my very best friend in the whole world. But as life goes on. Talk less and listen a lot and you will learn so much more than you could imagine. My grandma told me a lot as I got older and before she had passed away in 1995.
Breaks your heart hearing his voice break and he looks just like him. Wow
It takes more than being a biological father. He was the true son of the heart, of the man who raised him upright- his step father. I’m glad Tim got closure.
Things like this always has me crying like a baby, it’s beautiful when it turns out right. this chap is the spitting image of his father. ❤❤
No matter how old these vessels get we're still just children.. ❤
AMEN
Absolutely 💯
Beautifully said friend ❤️
My son's dad didn't have anything to do with them from ages 2&3. Lived five mins away. No calls, visits,Nothing. My oldest has such anger issues and my youngest tries so hard to be his best friend. Now they are grown he wants something to do with them. Okla let him get $98,662.15 behind in child support. I didn't want his money I wanted them to have a father.😭
Totally
I can hear the pain pouring from his heart. I'm so sorry you went through that.
That’s painful growing up with years of rejection.
Then, Waiting til he’s 18 to admit that he’s his son.
18 after he aged out of child support. Nice dad.
Beyond the money, which is important, it's the child knowing inside that was his dad & being rejected by him year after year.
That is a lot of forgiveness that Tim McGraw was able to provide once he found out the absolute truth.
In Texas the child can sue for back child support themselves until 25 I think 🤔
You can totally see in his eyes and body movements alone that the years of rejection really hurt his heart and soul. But in his voices you can you can hear the heartbroken little boy that wants to just cry
but was probably not allowed to. 😢
Nice timing. Cheap move
Tim, you are an armful MAN. I can't help but compliment your Mother and the people who were bridges that carried you over and gave you all the love and support that you needed growing up❤
Tom, I'm hurting for you but joyful too for who you are. You're very special! Your mother is blessed and you're a fantastic loving person and I'm so proud to know you. I love you dearly!
No matter how old you are, not knowing who your birth mother or father is, hurts like hell. You carry that feeling of abandonment around with you, and it never goes away. The pain in this guy’s eyes is real and it breaks your heart for the little boy inside. God bless his mother, because she did an amazing job, and because of that, then he became an amazing husband and father. Very talented man as well.
This story is unfortunately so true for so many people. Hope your heart finds the peace and love it needs to sustain you
You gotta believe!!!!! 🧐
❤
I never had my biological dad in my life he left my mom soon as he found out she was pregnant with me.
So I can relate to the ones out there that don't have their biological dad out there.
Those men are cowardly scumbags.
God bless y'all and merry Christmas
Yep happening right now to my Grandchild. Her baby daddy just doesn't want to bond with the baby.
So sad. Some of the most sincere people have some dirt bag parents.
Because we know how it feels and we want to be better.
😢😢😮
I think that’s the reason we’re sincere js!!😂
Exactly!
Just because a man or a woman has a child out of wedlock does not make them a bad person.
I Love This Man Tim McGraw His story is so Touching I’m Happy that He Shared His Story
Tim you have done well. I am sure he is so proud of you and the MAN you have become.
He didn’t have the best role model but then became an incredible father! That’s crazy impressive!!
It’s never too late
Tim showed the love/closure in his heart
Forgiveness is powerful
❤❤Tim McGraw❤
The hurt that some parents deal their children is horrible. God bless Tim.
❤❤❤😊
His dad didn’t want anything to do with him until he didn’t have to pay child support. Cold.
If there’s an order for support it doesn’t matter. If he never paid, he still responsible. My father paid his last child support payment for me when I was 36 years old because he didn’t pay when I was a child but the laws are written so that no matter what happens in your life you will still owe that debt. I’m not much younger than Tim McGraw, and this is a federal standard so regardless, his father still was obligated to pay, if there had been a child support agreement in place
I said the SAME THING
SHAME ON HIS FATHER. BUT I BLAME HIS MOTHER. WHAT A DISHONOR ON HIS PART.
“TALE AS OLD AS TIME”
escape child support …
Child support is a sham.
How emotional this video is. my heart went out to Ted McGraw I know it must’ve been hard to get those words out how wonderful it was to hear his father say yes, Tim McGraw was his son. Love you Tim McGraw God Bless you 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼
Tim just remember the great time you had with your dad, and just remember he is thinking about you ❤❤❤❤❤❤
His voice breaking breaks my heart👴💔
For me, it just hits so hard when a good man cries.
No wonder he is such a great actor now in1883show
He looks like such a sweet lil boy when he talks about his father. That man should've been damn proud!!!! Tims such a great man ❤
Every kids just wants to be loved by the parents. Period
Tim is a really good man!!!!!. His father is most definitely proud to be his father!!!!!!!!!!
I grew up in south Jersey/philly area. Huge Phillies fan in the 70-80s even until today. Tug McGraw was my favorite pitcher. When I first heard " Live like you were dying" and I found out Tim was Tugs son it made it much sweeter!!! Since then I've listened to Tim and country music.
Didn’t acknowledged him for first 18 years so he wouldn’t have to pay support.
Definitely not a good man, at least he talked to him and acknowledged him.. You know after he didn't feel it was going to come back on him.
Yep
Right on! He knew darn well he was his son.
Exactly!
Piece Of CRUD!😡
However, who's crying now... Timothy McGraw is GOAT. A legend, and an Icon... Already!🥰
Exactly what I immediately thought. Sounds like an a$$hole.
So touching, so authentic. That hits everyone in the gut, doesn't it?
Tim reminds me of a family member who also had a deadbeat dad. It’s nice to see how Tim is an amazing husband and father to his girls. His happiness and his family’s happiness is the best gift
❤ I think that he has shown his true emotions and I'm so happy that he found his father.
Great country singer,and to my surprise, he's also the heck of a good actor !!!
What a good and talented man his mom raised. Heartbreaking.
So much hurt right there. Parents do the right thing by your child. It matters so much.
😢😊
So much.❤❤
His father sux. Doesn’t get an lower than him
He’s such a good guy. He’s good looking, talented, a definite manly man & he’s sensitive. Who could ask for more. His mom did an amazing job 👏 👏👏💛
Heartbreaking! Such a successful man. ❤️
He is your earthly Daddy and it is evident in your tenacity in finding each other. ❤
Oh my heart hurts my dad was basically non existent in my life. When I see a loving dad it makes me happy that his kids feel their daddy’s love.
He missed out, you would of been the best son❤
Tug's loss! They both missed out.💜🙏💜
You don't miss what you don't want....only one is left heartbroken and that is the innocent one.
I was at the Moffit center in Tampa being treated for cancer back in 2001 or thereabouts. Tim’s father was diagnosed with cancer and Tim and Faith brought him into the hospital on several occasions while I was there. I’m sure they were close and loved each other in the end and all was forgiven. Tim and Faith were very sweet with him.
Tim still looks good for his age. The love he felt from his dad saying he thought he was his son left him in a place that was priceless. He needed to hear and know that so he could feel whole. God bless you and im glad you got what you needed.
Parental abandonment leaves deep permanent scars. I’m 61 and watching this video definitely brings tears to my eyes, still feeling the pain of being abandoned by both my biological parents 😢
Pray u found a great set of parents trust in our lord give all your troubles to god always be a giver not a taker give all your worries to your lord Ann savior !! They were the losers not you god bless you an your family ❤❤❤
He made it without his Dad. I'm sorry your father did this to you. Tim is a special person. We love you Tim. Thank you for the great music.
Tim’s definitely a handsome man with a beautiful heart. I hear his mom’s beautiful
The look on Tim’s face. Pure love.❤
...and relief knowing the truth
It's always wonderful to meet your real Parens! That is a teary moment!
Tim looks like his father. That was a very loving ending. Happy he finally connected with Dad.😊
His
Mother Raised him
Well♥️🌟💪
I admire Tim so much.
This is another thing that makes him a great dad. He never wanted his kids to feel the way he did.
Just seems like a great guy. Happy he found his relationship
What a beautiful, moving story. Thank you for sharing this story with us. 🎉🎉
This is why all the world loves you, Tim McGraw, it's bc you are a great country singer, you're brave and you're handsome! God bless you always!
I never knew this estrangement existed. It means a lot to me that you have been so forgiving.
Better that the father walks away than stays and tells the kids exactly what he thinks of them. Wish I had gotten rid of my ex sooner. And what a gentle soul Tim McGraw seems to be. Very touching.
His sadness made me want to cry. No child deserves that.
Thank you for sharing your vulnerable life story.
That poor brave young man. He turned into such a terrific talented man.
Tim you are an Example of what a Great Dad should be! You are Awesome & we love you! His dad lost out on one of the kindest loving human beings ever! Your Mamma did a great job raising this wonderful man..TIM MCGRAW❤❤❤
Look what a amazing wonderful man ya momma raised!
Some women are GREAT!!
Heart Rendering the pain upon Tim's face is beyond sad.
How cruel for a child to go through.
Thank heavens he has made a wonderful Family and a successful Life and Career.
Australia ❤
Tim, you're a class act. Tug was blessed to have a great guy like you for a son. ❤
Mr. McGraw, you are an exceptional man ❤
Much Love and respect 🙏
God bless and prosper you well amen 🙏
It's really hard growing up without your father. I know from experience. Sorry you have to go through this. God bless you
If you were my son ,I'd be so proud of you. Be happy.❤
Hes is the sweetest guy❤
Your story always wrenches my heart, but I'm glad you learned who he was.
Wow! This gets me teary eyed. I never saw my father even when I was born but I had a Father--God the father who took cared of me, my mom, sister and brother. It was my mom’s faith in God that survived us all. Much to thank God for all His blessings to us all. Happy Thanksgiving to the McGraw family.
He is so blessed to have the opportunity to ask his parent, the hard question. Being left to wonder is hard.
Try DNA.
@@patbowling1120DNA back in the 70s and 80s? It never existed
Both my mother and my husband never met their parent and neither either has a photo of them. I believe they’re not neither of them have ever focused on that.
He has a wonderful Mother who obviously raised a great boy. Maybe Tug didn’t have to pay support for his first 18 years, but how about being responsible now for his college, any medical bills/insurance he may need and oh, one more thing. The entire amount of lost back pay child support. He deserves this, and so much more, like maybe LOVE.
Tim is such a good guy. I think very little of Tug McGraw. I know nothing about him so I Googled him. He was 22 when he got Tim's high school student Mother pregnant. He didn't acknowledge Tim, meeting him initially when he was like 17
and telling him they could be 'friends' but
he wouldn't be a Father to him. Their
second meeting he completely ignored
Tim. Later I guess he agreed to pay for his college education. If you are man enough get a woman pregnant you should be man enough to support that child even if you don't want them in your life. He certainly had the money. Pathetic.
Everyone has a story hidden and waiting to awaken.
I love Tim McGraw as an actor and a musician, he is amazing. His story makes him even more human and amazing. Because of his lack of a fatherly figure, he is able to relate to so many boys with the same loss.
His mother got him through it helping him find his way, being unique making him what he is today.
He has strengths that make up for his dad’s losses. Sorry that he had to feel the pain, but pain is part of life. And he constructed it beautifully. God bless you for sharing your story.
The most genuine celebrity I have ever met! Tim is a class act!
What a shame he wasted 18 years when his life could have been so enriched knowing you. I’m sorry this happened to you. God bless you in your life journey.
Wow thats gut wrenching stuff.
Love Tim. You deserved so much better growing up - clearly you got the classy genes from your mum. Glad you have Faith and your kids. ❤
So many years of love lost. I am so glad you finally got together❤️
So sad you had to go thru all that to become the strong wonderful man you are. Your kids are blessed by you!
It is not up to the public to judge the actions of Tug, he had his reasons. Tim is exceptional for having forgiven his father and taking care of him during his final years. His mother must have been a great example of mercy and forgiveness. God bless them.
Sir...that's why your song and singing is so good..all your grief. Love you your the best singer ever!
Nancy in Texas USA 🇺🇸 ♥️
What a powerful and vulnerable moment to share with all of us…..
The pain is still there. Yet Tim found it in his heart to connect with his father and care for him as he was dying. God Bless! ❤️
THATS COOL HE RECOGNIZED YOU AS HIS SONG WE LOVE YOU TIM MCGRAW
