What happened to The Lincoln Lawyer’s Manuel Garcia-Rulfo and Audrey McGraw’s age-gap romance?
The Netflix star has been dating Tim McGraw and Faith Hill’s youngest daughter since 2023
After almost three years together, it appears that Manuel Garcia-Rulfo and Audrey McGraw have called time on their romance.
The Lincoln Lawyer actor, 44, and Faith Hill and Tim McGraw’s youngest daughter, 24, have kept their relationship low-key since they were first linked in 2023.
But the spattering of PDA-packed social media posts they’ve chosen to share have implied they’ve been incredibly happy together.
However, it looks like the pair have now split, here’s what we know.
What we missed
Neither Manuel nor Audrey littered their Instagram with regular updates on their relationship over the years, but most of the pictures they did share have now been deleted from both accounts.
In addition, they no longer follow one another and Audrey’s sisters, Gracie and Maggie, have also stopped following Manuel’s account.
Audrey’s last post with the star of the Netflix legal show was over the summer of 2025.
Long distance romance
Both Audrey and Manuel have busy careers which at times have left them in a long distance romance. Audrey is carving out a career as a singer, and supported Brandi Carlile during her European The Lost Time tour in June and July 2025. Manuel made time to come and support her in Oslo but was unable to join for the entire tour due to his own work commitments.
In fact, the following August, Audrey shared a social media post along with an affectionate photo of her nuzzling Manuel’s neck which read: “[Expletive] hell I miss my man!”
Filming of The Lincoln Lawyer
They didn’t reveal further details but Manuel was busy filming season 4 of The Lincoln Lawyer in LA, and promoting his movie, Jurassic World: Rebirth around the globe.
Manuel is now gearing up to start shooting the next season in California while Audrey resides in New York where she continues to showcase her music.
Their age-gap
The pair have an age gap of 21 years, with Manuel born in 1981 and Audrey in 2001. Despite their two-decade difference, they have shared a passion for photography, and travel and many of their photos together have showcased their love of both.
When did they first connect?
The couple was first linked in the summer of 2023, when Audrey shared a carousel of pictures taken at Copa Del Sol (Cup of the Sun) in Careyes, Mexico, only for Manuel to share pictures of himself at the same spot just a week later.
Supporting each other
In December 2024, the pair traveled around Mexico to promote his Netflix horror mystery film, Pedro Páramo, which is based on the 1955 novel by Mexican writer Juan Rulfo of the same name.
Audrey also accompanied her actor beau to the Los Cabos International Film Festival to support him while he promoted Una Historia de Amor y Guerra. In turn, he’s been present at many of her gigs, some of which her famous parents have also attended, suggesting he was welcomed into the family.
Lucky in love?
During an exclusive interview with HOLA!, when Manuel was asked whether he considers himself “lucky in love,” he replied: “Yes, I do. Thank God. Honestly, yes. From childhood, and in everything, yes. There’s a lot of love in my life, thank God.”
