Private Announcement
Over the last 21 years, Tim McGraw and Faith Hill have been staples not only in country music but in each other’s lives. They just celebrated their anniversary and used the occasion to share some information on their relationship. Their relationship has never been ordinary, but their newest bit of news came unexpectedly and fans are responding.
Back On Top
Fame and fortune usually do not go hand in hand with maintaining a healthy, stable and supportive romantic relationship, but it seems McGraw and Hill accomplished the unachievable. While both are balancing successful careers, they also make the time and effort to spend time with the other, which could contribute to the fact they are happily married. When McGraw appeared in the film The Blind Side, wife Hill also contributed to the Oscar-nominated project by providing the soundtrack, Country Strong. However, after 21 years, the famous duo are making an announcement.
Fans Didn’t See It Coming
Before they took over country music, Tim McGraw and Faith Hill were just two musicians trying to make it in the business. They first met in 1994 at the New Faces Show in Nashville, Tennessee. At the time of their introduction, Faith was coming off her divorce from Daniel Hill, a music publishing executive. They had married six years earlier. Tim, on the other hand, was dating Kristine Donahue. They only met briefly, but it certainly left an impression on both of them.
Teaming Up On Tour
Two years went by since their first meeting, but they would soon spend plenty of time together. Hill and McGraw were the headliners on a joint tour titled ‘Spontaneous Combustion’ in 1996. The stars, however, were still not aligned. McGraw’s relationship with Kristine Donahue seemed strong, but he called off their engagement. Unfortunately, this time, Faith was engaged to Scott Hendricks, a record producer. It seemed like it wouldn’t work out, but something changed on the first night of the tour.
Sparks Fly
Predictably, the two charming individuals had undeniable chemistry. Anyone could see how well they interacted as they shared the stage. The time spent together on tour brought them closer, and things became more intense as the tour progressed. How could they deny their attraction to each other? Unfortunately, Faith was engaged which complicated things. She couldn’t contain her wandering eye but had a major decision to make. Faith had to decide to stay true to her man or see where things with Tim could go.
UnFaithful
Faith would not have long to make up her mind. After the show one evening, Faith accepted an invitation to come back to Tim’s dressing room. They clearly had some unresolved tension and had grown very close to each other over the tour. While in the dressing room, Tim decided to go for it and made his move. They had their first kiss and could tell that something real was brewing. Faith realized what she wanted to do and called off her engagement.
Falling In Love
It did not take long for them to develop into a true power couple. Their relationship was getting stronger every day due to touring together, and their feelings for one another continued to develop. Soon enough fans would be in on the big secret, lapping up every second of their public romance. After a few months together, Faith and Tim made their first public appearance together at Andre Agassi’s Grand Slam for Children event in September 1996.
Unapologeticly In Love
Due to the way Faith had left her previous relationship for Tim, many fans treated her quite poorly. She received plenty of negative remarks from her fans putting their two cents into her love life. She openly responded, “If someone is going to judge my character because I was engaged to somebody and then I left him for somebody else, I can’t control that.” She added, “But I wasn’t about to let Tim slip through my hands. And I had more self-worth and self-respect to not.”
The Unexpected News
Their relationship was moving quickly, and the couple received some great news in late 1996 – Faith was pregnant and expecting a child. Her pregnancy came as a bit of a shock, especially to their fans. However, everyone loved catching a glimpse of the couple at red carpet events with Faith showing off her baby bump. Everyone expected Faith to be a great mom, but one thing was still missing. Tim wanted to make their love official and wanted to get married before they welcomed the child.
Popping The Question
McGraw knew he had to make Faith his wife. He told of the moment, “It was raining and stuff, and we’d been on tour for a while together, and I joked around with her about getting married. And so I said… I looked at her, grabbed her by the hand, and dropped forward onstage. She had already done her show. And I said, ‘I’m really serious. I want you to marry me.” When Tim came off stage, Faith had written ‘Yes!’ into the mirror.
The Wedding
Surprise celebrity weddings are all the hype now, but Faith and Tim were two of the earliest examples. They tricked their friends and family into coming to Tim’s hometown of Rayville, Louisiana for a softball game and a concert. Instead, they surprisingly arrived for Tim and Faith’s wedding ceremony. Faith was three months pregnant at the time and said ‘I Do’ to Tim under an oak tree while wearing a white dress and no shoes. Tim rocked a black coat and blue jeans.
Newlyweds
In 1997, Hill and McGraw appeared at the American Music Awards and amazingly, it was one of the first times they appeared in public together. Hill was heavily pregnant at the time and despite her white dress, there was an evident bump. One thing was for sure though, the couple was deeply in love and proud to share the news with the public. Also it was undeniable that they couldn’t wait to share their arrival with friends, family and the rest of the world.
Indescribable Feeling
It was only after their wedding that the couple made their feelings public. In short, they mutually felt the same way about each other. “I mean I think we had a pretty instant knowledge that we were going to be together forever,” McGraw said. Although there have been so many celebrity couples who haven’t lasted, these seem to break that mold, being renowned for being one of the most special couples out there, making what they had last up until the present day.
Indescribable Feeling
Faith Hill had been open about the fact she was adopted at a young age, but later gave insights as to how she felt when meeting her biological mother. She said “The first time I met (my birth mother), I just stared at her. I’d never seen anyone that looked anything like me. It was the awe of seeing someone you came from. It fills something.” Although Faith was unsure how she would feel at the meeting, this emotion was unexpected for her.
Thankful For Adoption
Faith explained how she had an amazing relationship with her adopted parents, but couldn’t help but thank her birth mother for giving her that opportunity to live with them. She said “I can’t imagine the choice to do that and how thankful I am that she was able to give me the opportunity that I had because I was placed into an incredible home that I mean basically is responsible for the way I am today and the backbone that I have.”
Baby On Board
The nine months had passed, and fans were just so excited to finally be introduced the Hill and McGraw’s bundle of joy. The time had finally come, and in May 1997, they welcomed their first child into the world, a little girl called Gracie Katherine. As a result, Hill took some much needed time off to focus on family life. However, it wouldn’t take long before the couple planned on having their second child. Not only was their family growing, but so was their love.
What Happens On Tour…
On a professional and a personal level, Hill and McGraw were inseparable. They spent all their time together both at home, in the studio and backstage. They got so comfortable being together all the time that they ended up calling their tour bus the love bus. “A lot goes on in that bus,” Hill cheekily said. But whatever happened on that bus was between Faith, Tim and no one else. Throughout their career, groupies haven’t been an option.
Protective Parent
Being a caregiver came very naturally to Faith. She treated her family life extremely seriously and was giving her daughter the best upbringing imaginable, despite her fame. She would always express her excitement as being a mother in interviews and she would be incredibly homesick whenever away from her family. “I can’t even say what my greatest fear is because I, I can’t even imagine,” she said. “Being without my family … I can’t even say it because it makes me cry.”
Making Sweet Music
After four intense years on the road, Hill took a much needed three-year break from the music game, and also had her second child, Mary Elizabeth. However, her comeback ended up being a duet with her beloved husband, Tim. “It’s Your Love” was the name of the duet and was an instant smash. Their individual success simply meant that their work together could be even more successful. Alone they were strong, but together? They were even stronger.
Faith’s Strength
Faith and Tim had such a strong relationship that in interview after interview they would talk about how wonderful the other was. Faith opened up in 2000 about just how much Tim had brought to her life. She said, “Tim has given me confidence and strength and my foundation. He makes me feel like I can conquer the world.” Their love resulted in another child, whom Faith gave birth to in 2001, who they named Audrey. They were on top of the world, but it couldn’t last.
Purpose
McGraw realized that even though he loved his family dearly, his life as a musician changed drastically after becoming a family man. “It gives everything a focus,” he said. “You feel like you got your arms around everything, and you know where your life’s headed. You just find a peace you never had before.” It was a sentiment that every loving dad and husband could relate to. It seemed like, after having children, Faith and Tim had so much more purpose in their lives.
Green Eyed Girlfriend
Even when McGraw was with somebody else, it was clear that his feelings for Hill were deep and serious. He knew that she was going to change his life forever. “For me, there was an intense physical attraction,” he said. “I guess my girlfriend saw it in my eyes. She said, ‘I don’t want you around her.'” But this only sparked bad things for his ex, who knew that something didn’t feel right and that ultimately, she was on her way out.
Award Winning Couple
Their duet hit “It’s Your Love” was so successful that it stayed at number one for six straight weeks. Eventually, it even garnered awards, winning many at the Academy of Country Music Awards. But for Faith, it’s so much more than just a song, it means so much more. “It [doesn’t] feel like anybody else was really watching,” she said. One amazing pledge that the couple made was never to be away from each other for more than three days.
Working Marriage
Towards the turn of the millennium, Hill eventually returned to her solo career. She released a self-titled album and the record exhibited her raw singing talent, while at the same time creating a pop sound never usually associated with her. McGraw ended up on songs such as “Just To Hear You Say That You Love Me,” “Let Me Let Go,” and “The Secret of Life.” After the album struck a chord with many fans, the couple announced a new tour.
Expanding The Brood
With two busy careers to manage on top of their two children, many fans expected by 1999 that the couple would stop focusing on growing their family. Faith and Tim bucked all expectation when they shared their plans publicly. Tim told reporters, “Ideally, we’d love five kids.” Naturally, they followed up by asking if he wanted a son, to which he responded, “I always wanted boys, but in a way I want it to stay this way. Just keep having girls. That way I’ll always dress good.”
Together We Tour
Prior to 2000, the two country stars had never headlined a tour together. They changed that with their Soul2Soul tour, and were accompanied by one of their daughters. The two enjoyed touring together, as they got to split the profits and didn’t have to take any time away from one another. Tim and Faith seemed to be happily in love throughout the tour, but that never stopped the rumor mill from constantly trying to suggest that they were days away from an imminent separation.
Hitting Back At Rumors
The constant fairytales the press would tell regarding instability in their marriage deeply upset the couple. Faith fired back, saying “I’ve had an affair with my makeup artist, a female; an affair with my hairstylist; my marriage is on the rocks; Maggie is not Tim’s child, the naysayers. I don’t need their approval. I have too much going on. If that’s their entertainment, fine.” Celebrity marriages may be difficult to hold together, but this was not the case for Faith and Tim.
Finding Comfort
Tim knew that he was a product of his father, Tug McGraw’s legacy, but he had never grappled with what that truly meant for his life before he knew Faith. Tim eventually opened up about his self doubts, sharing “I knew I had that instability and dysfunction in me, from the way I grew up. And when I met Faith, I knew I needed her in my life–to keep me stable, solid and on track.” However, he needed her more than he knew.
Standing Up For Faith
Anyone who is in the public eye will be subject to bizarre or over the top criticism, and Faith Hill was not immune. Tim McGraw, however, is her biggest champion, always at the ready to defend her honor. Tim may even get more upset about the insults Faith receives than she is herself. He said, “Critics who attack my wife bug me.” He added, “It makes me want to pay ’em a visit so I could give ’em a good punch in the nose.”
Patriotic Family
The superstar country singers have never been shy about their love for their country, often displaying their patriotism publicly. They are also ardent supporters of the United States Armed Forces, so when they had the opportunity in 2003, they decided to perform at the Army base in Fort Bragg, North Carolina. After praising the troops, Tim told the audience of military personnel, “Faith is just cool, she’s really a smart, smart lady that has got everything together and knows her priorities.”
Battling Addiction
Tim, had some secrets he had been holding onto for many years. It wasn’t until 2008 that he was ready to open about his inability to perform without having a couple of drinks first. Tim knew it was time to get help. He later said, “Faith saved my life in a lot of ways—from myself more than anything. I can go down a dark road sometimes, when you’re not feeling good about yourself, and she pulls me out. My wife makes me a better man.”
Ultimatum
Tim knew that even though Faith’s presence had been steadfast until then, she would not remain by his side forever if he didn’t start making drastic changes to his lifestyle. Faith was at her breaking point, and as much as she loved her husband, she knew he would also benefit from some tough love. She finally told Tim that if he didn’t improve his coping mechanisms, she would be leaving along with all three of their daughters. Tim turned to martial arts to fill the hole alcohol left.
Talking It Out
Even after many years together, Tim and Faith love each other as much as they did when they first began their romance. Tim has shared one of their secrets to success is their easy communication. He has revealed, “She [Faith] would be perfectly happy if I told her, ‘Let’s get in the car and ride for two hours and talk.’ That would be as big a gift to her as anything.” They both know that expressing themselves to one another is the bedrock of their marriage.
Family Man
McGraw was referred to as a natural, taking upon himself the role of Sean Tuohy, the father of Collins and S.J. and husband of Leigh Anne Tuohy, played by Sandra Bullock. He explained that it was somewhat simple fitting himself into the role, saying: “I’m very family-oriented. I’ve always been family-oriented. I came from a disoriented, dysfunctional family growing up. That probably instilled in me the need and want to have a strong family and a great foundation. That’s something I naturally gravitate towards.”
Inspiring One Another
Faith Hill was not shy when speaking of her husband, explaining the reason she still looks up to him after all this time. “Tim inspires me every day in many, many ways.” She noted, adding: “I draw inspiration from his assertiveness and from watching him being a father and a husband.” The dynamic duo was not short on critics, however, in spite of projecting a strong front to all. They have stuck together through the good times and the bad, but not everyone saw it that way.
Negative Attention
Two Lanes of Freedom, Tim McGraw’s album, was released in 2013, but seemed to drag the wrong sort of attention with it. Rumors started flying that there might be trouble in paradise, to which Hill responded by saying “[Rumors] seem to be running like crazy right now for some reason. It’s perplexing. I don’t know why ‘happy’ can’t be a story.” Equally frustrated Tim added, “We’ve been married 17 years, and since the first week we were married those things were out, we don’t even think about it.”
College Calling
When it was time for Tim and Faith’s daughter Maggie to go to college, they had a hard time dealing with the fact their baby girl is all grown up. “It’s beautiful, and it’s sad all at one time,” said Tim. “You know, you can’t wait for them to sort of see what they make of themselves and do with themselves when they get out from under your umbrella, but you’re also nervous and sad because you’re gonna miss ’em.”
Supermom
Tim gave Oprah Winfrey an interview, in which he explained that what gets the marriage going is that “we close our door at home; we are husband and wife and a mother and a father.” As for Faith as a mother, he explained: “I think about the fact that we’re married and the fact that we raised these three beautiful daughters. And then I think about having three daughters and having [Hill] for their mom. It’s a pretty cool thing for those girls to have her.”
Oh, Brother
In 2013, Faith Hill came forward with her brother Zachary White’s addiction to illegal substances. Although at a dark point in his life, White later elaborated on his situation, saying: “I made my share of mistakes in the past, but Faith showed me that I could be a better person, I turned my life around, and I owe much of that to Faith and Tim. If it weren’t for them, there’s no telling where I’d be now.”
Daughter Dreams
As for parenting strategies, Hill and McGraw had to inevitably accept the fact that their daughters would want to follow in their footsteps and break into the music industry. “The one thing we stress is that you don’t get things handed to you on a silver platter — you have to work for the things you want, they know it takes hard work.” Hill added, saying that “As a parent, you don’t want to stand in the way of their dreams.”
A New Duet
Both Hill and McGraw’s large fanbases are used to the fact that the two occasionally merge powers (and voices) to bring harmonious, loving onto the stage. However, come 2015, Tim decided to switch things up a bit and invite his talented 18-year-old daughter Gracie to join him on stage. The two sang “Here Tonight,” and were so tremendously successful, the proud mother hen Hill could not help but join the daddy-daughter duet on stage, which left the crowd roaring.
Enjoying The Moment
The two have performed together on stage for over 20 years, but as Tim explained, some things simply never change. McGraw shyly confessed that his wife still takes his breath away: “It amazes me every night, every chance I get to sing with her.” The country star might put out a certain tough-guy image, but the truth is that, “When you see somebody you love up there, it’s a lot more.” As nerve-wracking as it may be, Tim’s stress is unnoticeable to the crowd.
Channeling Beyoncé
It is common for artists to draw inspiration from one another and Faith admitted that there is one particular pop star she looks up to when performing. She stated “The truth is, I want to be Beyoncé every single freaking night of my life, so I go out there thinking, ‘I am Beyoncé!'” Although they sing in completely different genres, Beyonce and Faith have more in common than you’d think as they both have high-profile marriages to musicians, and both went on a couples tour.
Keeping The Family Together
One of the great things about Tim as a husband, is that he notices and gives thanks to his wife for being so good to him and the family. McGraw gushed that “She’s the light of our whole family’s life. She keeps everything going for us. We all strive to be like my wife, everybody in our family. If your wife holds the example for everybody in your family, that’s a good thing.” Tim also gave her a compliment on her appearance, calling her his “hot wife.”
Writing For His Women
In March 2017, Faith and Tim released a single together titled “Speak to a Girl.” Tim added that it was particularly special for his family as he drew inspiration for it through the women in his life. He said, “It’s special for us, having three daughters—me being a husband and Faith being a mom of three daughters and growing up in a world of all women like I did, I think it’s just a really special song.”
Meet The Parents
One of the scary moments for a guy in a relationship is meeting the parents. McGraw might have accidentally scared off his daughter’s boyfriend in their first meeting. When Gracie’s boyfriend walked in the middle of a barbeque, he was shocked by the image he saw. Tim says he was “in the kitchen and I forget that he’s coming. I have a white apron on and a knife and I’m trimming meat up, so I’ve got chunks of meat all over this white apron, blood everywhere.”
Pushing Each Other’s Buttons
Tim and Faith have a seemingly flawless marriage. However, if you pay close attention to their lyrics, they reveal that they have their issues here and there. “I know that sometimes you hate me/We spend most of our days together with you trying to change me,” their duet goes. This was shocking to many, but Faith revealed that sometimes she, “like[s] a good fight,” and she “know[s] how to press those buttons. And if [she’s] a little angry, [she] can press those buttons big time.”
Fighting With Faith
One thing that is unavoidable in a relationship is arguments. Whether we want to believe it or not, Tim and Faith also get into arguments. However, it is not as bad as it sounds. Their arguments are the sort of disputes that you envy, because are not digging at each others’ deepest insecurities or sending each other on guilt trips. Rather, McGraw admitted that “the last [argument] we got [into], [he] didn’t load the dishwasher or something.” We bet Tim loaded the dishwasher the next time it came up.
Healthy Hill?
Many people started to get concerned about Faith’s health in 2017. This was due to the fact that she was looking like she was shedding too many pounds. Fans worried that she would become gaunt, and they were also concerned she was ill. Medical professionals believed that she was simply overworked with touring, perhaps dehydrated, and maybe even had a heart issue. However, a source close to Hill simply explained she sometimes skipped meals when busy, and she had increased her workouts.
The Best Memories
Things get stale after being together for over 20 years, but somehow, the spark is still there between McGraw and Hill. Part of how they do so is by performing together, which bonds them together in a unique way. Of the performances, Tim relates that “The memories we have created every time we have gone out have been the best memories of our career.” Plus, very practically, he adds that they have “two kids in college, what else are we gonna do?”
Making It Last
Some couples struggle with keeping that original spark alive, but somehow Faith and Tim seem to be as in love as ever. When asked how they have stuck together for so long, McGraw gave a tongue-in-cheek answer: “Well, she tolerates a lot, I think that’s probably the main reason.” Faith chuckled, but also admitted that Tim “tolerate[s] a lot too.” and that she is “not the easiest person.” At the core, she said the secret is simple: “we do actually like one another.”
Fame In The Family
Little did Tim McGraw know, but his birth father wasn’t just some backwoods nobody. His mother was only in high school when she met Tug McGraw, who lived in the apartment directly above hers in Jacksonville, Florida. At the time, Tug was pitching for the Jacksonville Suns, which was then a triple A international team. When Betty, Tim’s mother became pregnant, however, she was shipped off to hide with relatives in Louisiana. Unburdened by the unplanned pregnancy, Tug McGraw continued on to the major leagues.
Caught Unawares
Tim McGraw wasn’t raised with the same last name as his father, however. In fact, he didn’t know until he was 11 that his stepfather, Horace Smith, wasn’t his biological father, as his mother never bothered to tell him, and McGraw donned the last name of ‘Smith’ at the time. When he happened to stumble upon his birth certificate, he knew he had to understand the legacy that would follow him for the rest of his life, including into his marriage with Faith.
In Denial
Tim could never forget the first time he met Tug McGraw, the pitcher was already well known, having played for the New York Mets for a number of years, including the 1969 season, in which the Mets won the World Series. Tug, for his part, however, refused to acknowledge that Tim was his son after their introduction. It took until Tim was nearly 18 before Tug recognized just how similar his son’s appearance was to his at the same age.
In His Father’s Footsteps
Without knowing about his dad’s legacy, Tim found himself drawn to the world of team sports, eventually earning himself a baseball scholarship to Northeast Louisiana University. Unfortunately for Tim though, he ended up injuring his knee during a game and was forced to give up any dreams he had of going pro. It was his luck then that he’d also picked up guitar while in college, which ended up earning him an equally high profile career.
Cooking From The Heart
In a joint interview with Southern Living magazine, Faith revealed just how Tim attempted to win her heart at the beginning of the relationship. “[Tim] brought me chicken and dumplings.” Faith revealed. “[He] came to my house [unannounced]. He knocked on my door, and he had a bowl of homemade chicken dumplings.” Tim added that he’d also made her cornbread. He knew his immense effort to make these comfort foods from scratch would demonstrate just how much he cared for her.
Out Of Place
One of the things that Faith and Tim were able to bond over the most deeply was their unanchored upbringing. Faith was raised by adopted parents with an inkling that she was an outsider. She told Southern Living, “I used to think there was some kind of conspiracy, that I must be the daughter of one of my aunts. And of course I used to dream I was Elvis’ daughter….I’m a gypsy at heart. I had a spirit that was completely outside what my family was.”
Declined By Reba
Faith Hill knew from an early age that she had a powerful voice, as she was a regular performer at area churches by the time she was a teenager. She took the initiative to form her own band, which added rodeos to their list of performance venues. When she was finally ready to bite the bullet and become a country singer, she moved straight to Nashville at the tender age of 19 and auditioned to sing with Reba. It would not be Faith’s lucky break.
Shattering Her World
Faith has kept fairly quiet about her first marriage to Daniel Hill, whom she met upon moving to Nashville. When she did finally open up about that marriage, she revealed that it was meeting her birth mother for the first time that shook her so deeply, she had to leave almost everything from her past behind, including Daniel. She said of the marriage, “I was going through so much. I was like a flower trying to bud. Marriage wasn’t what I needed. It was a disguise
Number One
In winter 2017, Faith and Tim did something they surprisingly had never done before. They got together and recorded a collaborative album. This was their first LP that they recorded together, which was titled “The Rest Of Our Life.” The album debuted on the Top Country Albums chart at number one! They expressed their gratitude, saying: “We are especially grateful for our amazing fans and the talented folks who worked on the album with us, we are blessed to get to do this and, even more so, together.”
Return To Tour
For a long while, Faith and Tim performed solo. However, in 2017, they made an announcement that many were happy to hear: they would be working together again for another Soul2Soul tour! Both McGraw and Hill were ecstatic to reunite and collaborate again. Tim praised Faith using an analogy to racing: “when I’m on stage with her, it’s like NASCAR trying to keep up with an Indy car. She’s just that good. So, to watch her sing and see what she does is pretty inspiring.”
25 Moments That Are So Awkward It’s Hard To Believe They’re Real
What a Vision
When you go rock climbing it’s important to make sure you take all the essentials: water, chalk, the right shoes…In this case, we hope that this climber brought an extra pair of glasses. This photo was captured perfectly, it looks like a piece of art if we’re being honest. The only thing that is really worrisome is that this climber has really bad eyesight and that he had trouble finishing his climb. We’re sure that when he got to the top of this mountain, the view was a sight for sore eyes.
Home Run
Playing sports is a great way to bond with your children. Baseball is a favorite in almost all families. Getting them outside, cheering them on, watching them run from first to second base – it all brings a sense of pride to almost every parent. Every parent except for this one. Apart from the broken camera lens that was a result of this, there was probably also a black eye involved. In any case, this kid has got a future. We know an MVP when we see one.
Grin and Bear It
Picture this – you’re on a hike. The best part of this hike is the tunnel at the end, a tunnel that leads you to a gorgeous sunset. Now, imagine climbing into this tunnel when midway, a bear greets you. There isn’t anywhere to run, what do you do? We’re guessing that the people that took this photo were trying to figure exactly what to do when this photo was snapped. At least they got the full caveman experience?
Team Player
We call this one, murphy’s law. Not only is this guy the only one that got soaked by the sprinkler – he is sitting behind the only sprinkler that’s functioning. How on earth did this kid manage to sit directly behind the ONLY sprinkler that’s working on this whole field? What’s even more incredible is the fact that no one noticed what is going down. Everyone is so concentrated on what their instructor is saying – they’re missing the masterpiece that is happening right in front of their eyes.
Caught in the Act
We would give anything to be a fly on the wall in this situation. We can only imagine what this guy is looking at, or who he’s talking to have his wife spying on him like this. It almost looks like their dog is trying to hint at him to look behind him – but he’s so into his screen he doesn’t seem to notice. We can only help but wonder what happened after this photo was taken, did she confront him?
Falling for You
There is so much going on in this photo we don’t know where to begin. This looks like a situation he is very happy to be in, his girlfriend on the other hand, well, that’s a different story. It’s hard to tell if she is upset because her boyfriend is kissing another woman or because he’s about to drop her. Considering everyone at the party is wearing the same shirt, it doesn’t come as much of a surprise that they’re also hooking up with each other.
Scoot Along
Now, this is what we call making an impression. This is how we imagine it went down: Danny saw that the sun was finally shining after a long winter – ecstatic, he asked his mom if he could finally ride the scooter he got for Christmas. She said yes, but only if he promised to ride on the sidewalk. Being the good kid that he is, he said, “of course,” grabbed his helmet and ran outside. Then, this happened. That was the first, and last time Danny rode his scooter.
Netflix & Not So Chill
Getting cheated on is a hard thing to deal with, so we admire this guy’s courage to come out to the world and share his story. We also admire his detective’s eye, spotting a reflection in a computer screen isn’t an easy thing to do. This whole story is pretty embarrassing for his ex-girlfriend, who we’re guessing saw this guy’s story along with the rest of the world. We hope he got a happy ending, and that she learned from her mistakes!
A Real Tip
Servers often think that flirting with customers is a sure way to make a higher tip. This woman proved that the opposite is true sometimes. Whoever served this table got served themselves when they realized that they would not be receiving a tip from their customers – and for a good reason too. The woman added a little smiley at the end of her message, which is a pretty savage move if we do say so ourselves.
Overboard!
This fail looks like something out of the future. It looks like clones overthrowing their creator as they throw him into a lake. The way this photo was perfectly timed a second before he hits the water makes for the perfect fail photo. Maybe it’s a bachelor party that got a little too out of hand? There are so many backstories one could give this photo, and we want to know the truth behind it. Is that too much to ask?
Front Row Action
Sitting in the front row of a game is a great way to feel like a part of the action thats happening on the court. We’re guessing this isn’t the kind of action these fans were looking for when they bought their tickets. These three team-supporters unexpectedly recieved a mouthful of excitement (and pain) at this match. We’re sure that the next time they buy basketball game tickets, they’ll think twice before purchasing front row seats.
Life is a Wave
You know you’re in an awkward situation when you’re the only one walking towards something everyone around you is running away from. We’re not sure how this individual missed the huge wave that’s coming straight at them, but they seem totally unbothered by what’s about to happen. Whoever this brave person is, we admire your apathy and hope that you had a towel handy – there is no way this ended well.
Like Riding a Bike
At first glance, this looks like a normal photo. Then, you noticed the unhinged wheel. This kid looks so focused on what he’s doing it’s a shame that a second after this photo was taken, he probably flew headfirst on the cement. There is almost always a fail waiting to happen, and you never know when it’ll be caught on camera. There isn’t much to add to this fail – other than the fact that we recommend you always wear a helmet. Safety first.
Elmer’s Milk
This is what we call a sticky situation. As our parents grow older, they make silly mistakes. Some of them are forgivable and some, well some are as ridiculous as this one. Imagine taking milk out of the refrigerator, pouring it into your morning coffee and realizing it was glue! We can’t blame this guy’s mom – after all this huge tub of glue looks exactly like milk. Just one question – didn’t the fact that the milk wasn’t in the fridge at the store raise any red flags?
Emergency Exit
Whoever landed this plane, did a perfect job. Not! This photo is probably the reason so many people have a fear of flights. We’re not going to lie, they did do a perfect job landing, it’s just they managed to land the plane upside down. We hope that whoever was flying this plane got out safe – we also hope that they got their pilot’s license taken away from them.
Fried Apples
You’ve heard of fried green tomatoes. Well, what about fried apples? Feeling comfortable in your workplace is key, but getting too comfortable may turn into a fire hazard. As you can tell by the photo, lighting a candle to set the mood while at work might have been the brightest idea (pun intended). On the bright side (pun intended yet again), if you look close enough, it kind of looks like there are two apples on this Mac.
Winter is Coming
We’re guessing that when this guy cracked his window open for fresh air, he wasn’t expecting to come back to this. We’re cold just by looking at this photo! In all honesty, it’s a beautiful photo. It’s just hard to look at without thinking about this poor car owner. It’s also hard not to wonder how long it took them to defrost their car – and how they managed to do so.
Wake-Up Call
Cellphones have made our lives significantly easier. Everything is at the tip of our fingers. Our schedules are synced to calendar apps, we use navigation apps instead of maps, and pretty much everyone we love and care about is a text message away. Diego has people that care about him, the synced schedule, on the other hand, is debatable. Poor Diego spent hours studying for this final only to realize that he slept in on the day of the exam. Wherever you are, Diego, we hope that you got a chance to take your final – and that you passed it!
It’s All Downhill From Here
By the looks of it, this limo is about to break in half. We’re unsure how a situation like this comes to be – gravity, physics, a stubborn driver? We now know that if we’re ever riding in a limousine, we should tell the driver to stay clear of hills. We don’t know where the people riding in this limo were on their way to, but we’re willing to bet that a moment after this photo was taken, they got out and decided it’d take less time to walk there.
Cat’s Out of The Bag
The most amazing part of this photo is the fact that this furry friend managed to make his way onto this shelf without knocking any of its contents over. The only problem now is getting off of the shelf without breaking anything! It seems like the owner is concerned about the cat tipping these bottles over, and we can’t blame her. This poor kitty looks frustrated. He wants someone to let him down!
About as Exotic as it Gets
Close your eyes and imagine an exotic salad, one thats full of colorful vegetables, ones that are hard to find. Sounds pretty delicious. Now open your eyes – this is Checkers’ idea of an “exotic salad.” We kid you not, baby carrots and peas. We’re not going to lie, the only thing that seems exotic about this salad is that it was made at sea point – whatever that means.
Call Me Maybe
We’ve all lost our phones in one place or another. When we do, it’s usually a considerate stranger thats the one to return it. Never have we ever heard of anyone that dropped their phone and had a crocodile return it. There’s a first for everything. It’s a good thing that whoever dropped this phone had a good phone protector because we’re pretty sure if they didn’t, this would be the end of their phone.
Who Hauls
Being persistent works – sometimes. Sometimes it gets you into situations like this. By the looks of it, this U-Haul driver thought he could make it through this tunnel without a problem. He almost made it but got stuck at the very end of the tunnel. The most awkward part about this is the fact that there is a huge sign that says no trucks. The truck on the sign looks exactly like the one stuck in the photo, ironic.
Locked In
We’re guessing the construction workers that were in charge of this asked whoever’s car this is to move it numerous times before gating it in. We’re also guessing that every time they politely warned them that they were going to take action, the car owner rolled their eyes and said, “yea, yea, I’ll take care of it,” and never did. We don’t necessarily think that the car owner deserves it per se, but we understand why this happened.
Overboard
How one gets themselves into a situation like this is beyond us. It looks logistically impossible, and yet, it happened. It looks like the two guys on the deck are trying to figure out how such a tragedy happened, and more importantly, what comes next. We’re wondering which poor crew member got fired for whatever led to this mistake. Who do you think is to blame? Yellow shirt guy or blue shirt guy?
Let it…Oh No
It’s amazing how one minute, you’re walking around the snow, minding your own business. Then, the next minute, a big ball of snow has been shoved in your face. You have no idea where it came from. Who would have had the audacity to throw all of that snow at your face without any notice? Then you turn around and finally, you have identified the culprit of this disgraceful crime. Ladies and gentlemen – it was his mom.
Putting the Rage in Garage
Some people have the luxury of having a garage that lifts up from under the ground. It’s pretty awesome, but there is no denying that you probably need to have a lot of money to have a home with this sort of amenity. It’s certainly a useful form of space efficiency. However, if you have more than one car, it’s a good idea to move the one that is standing over your raisable garage when you are trying to get the other one out…
What Goes Up…
Why is it that we enjoy watching someone doing cool stunts on a bicycle? Only the most sadistic individuals would enjoy it if, God forbid, the stunt performer in question didn’t successfully land with his bike. Take this guy, for example. It looks pretty clear that after this photo was taken, he must’ve landed pretty awkwardly. First and foremost – we hope he survived. And secondly, we hope he didn’t break any bones. However, his chances were pretty slim.
I Swear it’s Not Me
Have you ever stood next to a poster and realized that you look exactly like the person in the poster? OK, so this guy is exactly the spitting image of the “criminal” who is being arrested. But the long hair and beard is certainly enough to draw a striking comparison. It’s pretty crazy that this guy ended up standing right next to this poster at a bus stop. Sometimes, a Kodak moment can come from the most unexpected places.
No Time to Dodge
When you’re playing dodgeball, it is probably a good idea not to stand still and pose for the camera midway through the game. That’s what happened to this young woman, who we assume got really bored. Either that or someone distracted her by offering to take a photo of her. Or, maybe it was a double act prank, with the photographer distracting her so that someone else could smack her in the face with the ball. It checks out!
Bye Bye Groceries
Have you ever been walking down the street on the way home from the store and all of a sudden, you realize that all of your groceries are gradually falling out from the bottom? We’re not sure what’s worse – if this happens on the sidewalk or if it happens while you are walking up the stairs on the way to your apartment. Word of advice for next time: put the bag of groceries into another bag. It usually prevents this sort of thing from happening.
Swing When You’re Not Winning
There are some habits you just can’t get out of your system. When a kid uses a swing, they are usually assisted by an adult until they are trustworthy enough to use the darn thing in a safe way. Make no mistake about it though – some kids will never learn and better yet, some adults will never learn. Take this young woman, for example. She thought she could swing really high until she fell off.
Having a Splashing Time
Getting wet on purpose is one thing. But when you are walking around and all of a sudden, you are completely drenched from head to toe, it’s not a nice thing to experience, by any means. One minute, you’re posing in front of a beautiful body of water. The next, a huge wave comes from nowhere and the collision causes a massive splash of water that covers your entire body. This young woman didn’t see it coming, at all.
Is This a Mirror?
It’s never nice to have the exact same matching clothes as someone else. Whether it is the same as someone you work with or someone sitting opposite you on the other side of the train, it’s always very awkward. However, this guy saw the funny side of the situation and decided to take a photo of both his legs and the person sitting away from him. He shared it with the world, and shortly after, the other person did the exact same thing.
U.F.O. – “Umbrella Flew Off” the Stick
While someone was walking in the rain, they noticed something flying in the sky that looked like a UFO he had seen in a movie. At first, he actually believed that aliens had arrived to conquer our planet. Then, as raindrops started to fall on his head, he realized something: he was holding an umbrella. Now, he is simply holding the stick and the actual umbrella flew off and is now being carried by ferocious winds.
Love/Hate Relationship
If you’ve ever played any sort of competitive sport, you know that when you’re in the middle of a game, nothing except the ball matters. You keep your eye on the prize – disregarding anything that might get in the way. It looks like that’s what happened for these two players, they were so determined to get the ball – they ran into each other. These two athletes couldn’t be closer than they are in this photo and we can’t help but wonder what happened the second after this photo was snapped!
Faking It
Well, this is awkward for many, many reasons. For starters, what’s going on with this woman’s hair? In some weird world, it may make sense that someone may think capturing a photo of a friend sleeping with potato chips all over their face is funny. But why on earth would you take a picture of yourself pretending to sleep covered in chips? This poor woman got caught in the act – can you spot the culprit?
First Date Fail?
Let’s face it – sitting at the bar isn’t comfortable. You don’t have a rest on your stool for back support, the people sitting next to you are way too close, and if you’re a little above the average height – you’re doomed. This guy is the perfect example of the three things we just mentioned – the poor guy can’t catch a break. He’s so tall he had to decide which leg would stand guard while the other leg squished in between the two women from both his sides. We’re hoping this guy wasn’t on a first date!
Who’s Gonna Tell Her?
There’s nothing worse than the fear of going to the bathroom and stepping out with toilet paper on your shoe. Truth be told, we’d be lying if we were to say that it’s never happened to us. It’s always nice when a stranger comes around and points down, hinting at the embarrassing scenario, without saying a word. We consider these people angels. What happens when toilet paper gets stuck to your pants?! Would you want someone to tell you? We’re on the fence about this one – maybe the less we know the better, is the best way to go here?!
Designated Parking
Savage level – 100. We don’t think we’ve ever seen such a genius move when it comes to finding parking in a full parking lot before. Instead of driving around for hours looking for a place to park – they left their car in the shopping cart receptacles. It’s awkward to think that someone was so set on parking in this parking spot they risked damaging their car while pulling in. Our only question is, how did whoever this car belongs to manage to step out of their car?
You Had One Job
So we get that cheerleaders may spend most of their time cheering and less time in the classroom – but “spirit” is a basic word. This is simply painful for us to look at. We’re wondering how many people worked on this awkward sign and why no one noticed that the word was misspelled. We’re hoping their teachers weren’t in the crowd witnessing this embarrassment. We got spirit..and the understanding that someone’s going to have to go back to elementary school.
Napoleon Complex?
If this guy was so insecure about his height, why did he invite a girl that was much taller than him to prom? What happened when he got off of this stool and actually had to go to prom? Did she change her shoes into flats? Did he spend the whole night dancing with other women? Whatever the case may be – we hope he knows that being shorter than your girl isn’t anything to be ashamed of and that he should walk with pride wherever he goes.
The Hard Truth
Do you know when you’re waiting in a very long line, and by the time you get to the teller, you forget what you were doing there in the first place? Yea, us too! While you’re waiting in line, you can’t help but wonder what the hold up is, right? The secret’s out…while you spent your lunch break in line, this woman was playing solitaire – turns out you could have been in and out of there in 20 minutes.
Yellow Belt
Looking at this photo, it may seem to you like the dog is imitating his owner, but then you realize there is a little surprise to this photo. Yup, it’s exactly what you’re thinking. Maybe the pup was upset that his owner spent more time practicing karate rather than take him for a walk, or maybe she was standing so still he mistook her for a tree? We’ll never know the answer, but what we do know is that this makes for an awkward and equally hilarious photo.
All Grown Up
At first glance, this photo may seem a little scarier than it is awkward, but let us reassure you – this is about as awkward as it gets. This guy’s friends had a Halloween party, and he came fully dressed as The Babadook, turns out – his friends were going for more of a “wine and cheese” kind of celebration, so he sat there in full makeup. We’re going to blame the friends for this one – who has a wine and cheese party on Halloween?!
The Longest Line Ever
Shopping is always fun, it’s waiting in line to purchase the items that we want to buy that’s a drag, so whenever we see a short line, we’re quick to jump in. When there are only two people ahead of you, you know you’ve hit the jackpot. What happens when those people aren’t real? We wonder how long it took this woman to realize she was standing in line with mannequins. She looks quite aggravated, so we’re guessing it was a while…
Those Are Snuggies
This movie was paused at the perfect time, as the actor seems extremely confused by this person’s cozy-looking shoes. We’re honestly super happy for this person, not only did they get this amazing photo, but they’re snuggled up, watching TV, and it truly seems like they’re living their best life.
“What are those?” Those are just the image of someone who makes great life choices. Thanks so much for noticing! Honestly, this photo is more entertaining than the movie the OP is watching.
Mama and Baby Need Drinks
Mama needs a drink, and it looks like the baby does too! This is what happens when women multitask and hold too many things at one time. Given that most women’s clothing doesn’t have pockets, ladies become experts at fitting a lot into their hands at once.
That being said, this particular mom may not have had enough practice… We think this is one family photo that’s definitely worth framing!
Rabbi Victoria’s Secret
This picture seems to perfectly show the concept of “work hard, play hard.” He may be a Rabbi by day, but the bottom half of this pic shows that he knows how to party at night!
Hey, whatever anyone chooses to wear under their robes is their own business and we support any undergarment decisions a person, of any faith, makes. If having some racy underwear makes this guy feel confident to give his sermon, then more power to him!
The Holy Throne
This is what happens when God needs to do his business. Clearly, this is a sacred toilet and should be treated as such. Honestly, we’d be kind of worried to do what we have to do in that bathroom as it’s a place of holiness!
That being said, we can be cleansed of all our sins while we’re cleaning our innards of bodily waste. Now, that’s an efficient want to be reborn, inside and out!
A Cry for Help
The message is written all over this guy’s face – both in his facial expression and in literal writing – he needs help. This man was teaching a class when his innermost thoughts were projected onto his forehead. We just hope that his students jumped to his rescue and everything worked out in the end.
This is an excellent reminder, to all of us, that we should always ask for help when we need it. Even if that means projecting it onto our faces.
Asking the Important Questions
This water fountain appears to be asking life’s biggest questions and for those who are familiar with The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy, we know the answer: 42. That being said, what is the question?
Perhaps the water is trying to tell its drinker to ask more questions, in general, and to display more curiosity in life. Or maybe it’s a reminder that some questions simply don’t have answers. Except, of course, when the answer is 42.
A Sign of True Friendship
Ah, we all know that awful moment when we really need to pick our nose or scratch an itch, but our hands are busy. Luckily, this basketball player had a true friend nearby who was willing to help him out.
We’ve all heard the saying, “You can pick friends, you can pick your nose, but you can’t pick your friends’ nose.” Well, that simply isn’t true, is it? True friends pick their friends’ noses.
“Go Ahead, I’ll Catch Up”
These penguins look like they’re on a pub crawl, and we doubt we’ve ever seen wildlife behave so relatably. We all have that one friend who just drank one too many and is trailing behind, probably getting sick along the way.
That friend will always say something like, “Go ahead, guys, I’ll catch up!” Which, of course, they never do. No worries, they can usually be found the next morning, sleeping right where the group left them.
How’s My Hair?
Technology has truly taken over – to the point that even birds are texting now! Honestly, this is a pretty cool photo, as this man seems to have morphed into a completely new species.
We wonder if “birdman” looked up from his phone long enough to see his secret admirer? Or was he too glued to the screen to notice that this bird wanted to send a text message? Either way, this picture is definitely making us do a double-take!
Say It, Don’t Spray It
As adorable as children are, letting them near food can seriously ruin a person’s appetite. It’s always an issue, specifically when it comes to children’s birthday cakes. Parents want their children to have that special moment of making a wish and blowing out the candles, but they also want the cake to be edible for all the guests.
It seems that this mom decided just to let her son have his moment, and as a result, we have photographic evidence of why we shouldn’t ever eat birthday cakes after someone blows out the candles.
“Jack, I’m Flyingggg – Ouch”
Jack and Rose may have to deal with the Titanic sinking and all that but at least they didn’t have a bird fly into their faces while trying to have a romantic moment. This basically is an image of what it’d look like if James Cameron decided to direct romantic comedies.
Honestly, we’d watch it, as long as it reunited Kate Winslet and Leonardo DiCaprio. While we’re on the topic, though… There was room for Jack on that door.
Possessed Prom Princess
This poor girl looks like the prom date from h*** in this picture! Apparently, she was wearing silver eye shadow and looked down when her photo was being taken, which resulted in this creepy image.
While we’re sure that this girl looked perfectly lovely for her event, silver eyeshadow included, this picture would definitely make us run away screaming if we were her date. Well, that’s one look that she certainly won’t ever forget!
Win at All Costs
Clearly, this guy really wanted to win that race, no matter what the price! Now that’s playing dirty… In all seriousness, though, we’re sure that he felt incredibly guilty for smacking that woman in the face. Or, that woman’s face ran into his hand, depending on how one wants to look at it.
Truthfully, we blame the guy at the finish line. We’re not sure why he thought high-fiving people while they’re running past each other would be a good idea.
“Look What I Made!”
This poor guy was so proud of the meal he’d made! Unfortunately, life had other plans in store for him. Namely, cleaning the floor and ordering food rather than cooking. Why didn’t the photographer warn this poor man that he was dropping all his food?
We hope that this incident won’t discourage this guy from cooking in the future. After all, practice makes perfect! Although, he should probably practice safely posing for photos, first.
Not the Most Relaxing Time
Imagine getting everything ready for a perfectly relaxing afternoon. The hammock, the drink, the sunglasses, the whole deal. Then, suddenly… it all comes crashing down in the most literal way possible. We really feel bad for this guy, the poor thing just wanted a few moments to relax!
Luckily for us, this guy’s unfortunate moment was caught on camera so that at least the internet can be entertained, from the comfort of our own hammocks, of course.
A Dedicated Son
Showing our parents how much they mean to us is something we all strive towards. Some people send their mothers flowers while others take their mom out for a fancy dinner. Then there are the ones that go above and beyond to prove their love and gratitude – they get a tattoo. We know this guy’s intentions were pure, but he made the mistake of this life with this one. We feel as though if there was one typo, this could have been salvageable – but two?! Maybe he should be asking his mom for spelling lessons?
Not Who I Thought You Were
We’ve all made out with people we randomly met at parties, right? We can picture this guy trying to describe the perfect girl he just met to his friends, “she was pale white, and her skin was so soft it almost didn’t feel real – um, come to think of it, she may not have been real?!” By the looks of this girl’s friend’s face, they were all getting a kick out of this situation – who knows, maybe he met the love of his life?
Kiss Cam?
Getting featured on the kiss cam is can be awkward if you have no one to kiss – or if the person sitting next to you isn’t down to kiss. If you had to choose one of these situations, which would it be? The photo on top screams all kinds of awkward, who wants to be publicly friend-zoned like that? And yet, our heart couldn’t break anymore when we look at the bottom photo – we don’t even need an explanation, his face says it all.
Caution! Friend Zone
There seems to be a street sign for everything on this wall, maybe they should add “Caution! Friend Zone Ahead.” It doesn’t get any more awkward than this guy’s face. He’s lifting this girl up to kiss a guy that’s dressed exactly like him, only he looks tall enough to be a professional basketball player. Wherever you are, bud, the right girl is out there for you, probably waiting to be lifted by her best guy friend to kiss you!
Bai Chay Bridge is Falling Down
Since seeing this photo, we can’t stop singing, “Bai Chay Bridge is falling down.” This is a fail if we’ve ever seen one. By the looks of it, this cargo ship was deep at sea when these containers fell to their fate. We hope that whatever was in these containers wasn’t too valuable. We have a feeling that if a sequel to Titanic is ever made, this photo will be the inspiration for it.
