Inside Carrie Underwood and Mike Fisher’s Private Romance – E! Online

When it comes to celeb romances, Carrie Underwood and Mike Fisher are the champions. 

The country singer and retired NHL player met in 2008 through a mutual connection, her bassist Mark Childers, and quickly formed a romantic bond.

And although the two were living in two different countries, with Mike residing in Canada for hockey at the time, their early long-distance relationship blossomed into an engagement in 2009, followed by their 2010 wedding. Now, Mike and Carrie share sons Isaiah, 10, Jacob, 6, and their rescue dog Charlie who they adopted in 2023.

And while the pair have kept much of their relationship out of the public eye—and off the red carpet—in recent years, they made an exception for the Opry 100: A Live Celebration in Nashville on March 19. In fact, this was their first red carpet together in two years, following their joint appearance at the CMA Awards in November 2022. 

A possible reason for fewer joint appearances? Kids.

“My husband’s got the kiddos,” she shared with CMT at the 2023 CMT Awards. “He’s always holding down the fort while I’m out doing stuff like this.”
