Carrie Underwood and Mike Fisher, her hockey-layer husband, celebrated 12 years together. Although the couple kept it low-key, they were vocal about their love for one another on social media.
Fisher showed his love to his wife on Mother’s Day and her birthday. Hockey player Fisher shared how much he loves and appreciates his wife. He also made sure to mention how great a mother she was to their sons.
It’s amazing how time flies when you have fun. Fisher couldn’t believe that he was married for 11 years. He shared a picture from his wedding for his 11th anniversary and expressed that time had just flown by.
The hockey player concluded his caption by saying that Underwood was the best friend he could have imagined.
Underwood also showed her appreciation for Fisher on Father’s day. The country singer said she and their sons were lucky to have him. For Valentine, Underwood posted a throwback picture to tell her Canadian hockey player how much she loves him.
Underwood and Fisher were separated for six months during their marriage’s first six months.
Fisher and Underwood share a special bond, but they have had to go through many things for their relationship. Underwood was skeptical about giving her husband of 12 year a chance.
HOW CARRIE UNDERWOOD MET HER LOVE
Underwood did not intend to be in a long-distance relationship or even saw herself getting married anytime soon. Mark Childer, her friend, suggested that she meet a handsome Canadian athlete. But Underwood was skeptical.
The singer was hesitant about meeting a blind date as she was afraid of awkwardness. So she suggested they meet backstage at one their concerts.
Underwood was right about the awkwardness of their encounter. Their physical chemistry was evident and the singer loved what she saw.
She texted Childers back with the update, “Hot, hot hot.” And Fisher said Underwood was more beautiful in person than on television.
Three months later, their first date didn’t happen. Underwood lived in Tennessee while Fisher was in Canada.
Their first date was in 2008, on New Year’s Eve. Underwood did something unexpected when she made Fisher kiss Underwood in public. The singer said she thought to take the risk because he was less likely to reject in front of people.
Underwood’s move paid off because the couple was in a frenzy of romance by 2009. Fisher proposed to Underwood on December 9, 2009 at his home. She accepted.
The couple was excited about their new adventure; Fisher even gushed over his fiance on the media and said, “It’s true. We are both obviously excited and very happy.
THE COUPLES MARRIAGE AND LONG-AWAITED BLESSINGS
Underwood and Fisher were apart in the first six months of their marriage. Their careers demanded them to be in different places. The singer had to be Nashville while Fisher played for the Ottawa Senators, the team that first drafted him 13 years ago.
Underwood didn’t seem to be bothered by the distance. She knew that they were independent adults with jobs. She said, “We’re both independent people, so we can’t have somebody around 24 hours a day, seven days a week.”
Above all else, the singer was very secure in her marriage; she added, “I don’t have to worry about Mike. He is going out? It doesn’t bother him. I don’t care.”
After the long-distance marriage, Underwood and Fisher settled down and welcomed their first child together. Isaiah Michael was born on February 27, 2015.
In 2019 the couple welcomed their second son Jacob Bryan on January 23, 2019; however, Underwood opened up about experiencing three miscarriages before her second son.
Although the loss was heartbreaking, Underwood remained strong for her family. After welcoming Jacob, Underwood reflected on the painful time and said;
“I guess you wait for things to stop hurting at some point. I will always mourn those children, those lives that were a shooting star, a breath of smoke, but I have Jacob, and he is incredible, he is the sweetest little baby,”
Underwood and Fisher are doting parents to their two sons and are grateful to have their sons despite all that has happened.
