Although it isn’t widely publicized, Manuel Garcia-Rulfo and Audrey McGraw are romantically involved. Speculation about their relationship began circulating in June 2023. However, the couple has largely avoided the spotlight. They were recently seen together in October 2024, enjoying a walk through New York City.
While Garcia-Rulfo has built a successful career in acting, McGraw has been pursuing a musical path, much like her parents, Tim McGraw and Faith Hill. Despite maintaining privacy about their romance, both have shared subtle moments on social media, hinting at their connection through candid snapshots.

The relationship reportedly began in 2023. In June of that year, Audrey posted a cryptic Instagram photo showing a man covering the camera with his hands, captioned in Spanish: “Ven mama, ven!” Not long after, Manuel shared his own mysterious image of a woman hiding behind curtains, with Audrey responding to the post with a heart emoji, suggesting a connection between the two.
Since then, they have continued sharing small glimpses into their relationship online. In March 2024, Audrey posted a black-and-white photo of her gazing at Manuel from behind, accompanied by the caption, “found Gatsby.”
There is an outstanding age difference between the two, as Manuel was born in 1981, making him 21 years older than Audrey, who was born in 2001. Tim McGraw commemorated his daughter’s 22nd birthday in 2023 with a heartfelt post, praising her inner beauty and kind spirit.
As the youngest child of Tim McGraw and Faith Hill, Audrey grew up with two iconic musicians as parents. Tim has expressed his pride in raising grounded and respectful children, emphasizing the normalcy of their upbringing. In 2021, Audrey even appeared in Tim’s music video, “7500 OBO,” though her father jokingly admitted he wasn’t prepared to watch her on-screen kiss.
Photography is a passion both Manuel and Audrey share. Manuel, who once aspired to be a National Geographic photographer, spoke in an interview about inheriting the love for photography from his father and grandfather. Audrey’s Instagram also reflects her creative side, with posts featuring artistic travel photos. In one instance, she posted a mirror selfie with a camera, capturing Manuel reading nearby.
Audrey is also musically inclined and often shares videos of herself singing and playing piano on Instagram. In early 2024, Tim McGraw posted a clip of Audrey performing Tammy Wynette’s “Stand by Your Man,” expressing his admiration for her talent. Tim frequently highlights the musical abilities of all his daughters, describing Audrey as both an exceptional singer and writer.
Garcia-Rulfo, meanwhile, has been portraying the lead role in The Lincoln Lawyer since 2022. His acting portfolio includes appearances in The Magnificent Seven, A Man Called Otto, and Greyhound. Although he originally pursued filmmaking, Manuel revealed that his dream is to direct a film one day, as the creative process excites him.
The couple currently resides on opposite coasts. Garcia-Rulfo divides his time between Los Angeles and his grandfather’s ranch in Guadalajara, Mexico, where he operates a lime farm. However, Audrey has been living in New York City since completing high school, focusing on modeling and acting.
While they prefer to keep their relationship private, they have occasionally shared glimpses of their connection with the public. Audrey posted a portrait of Manuel in 2021 accompanied by Elvis Presley’s “Trouble” and archived other moments with him in her Instagram Highlights. The two were last spotted together walking through New York City in October 2024.
