Underwood and Fisher have been married for 15 years and have two children
Carrie Underwood has been a country music powerhouse since winning American Idol in 2005, launching a career that’s earned her seven Grammys and sales of more than 85 million records worldwide. Known for hits like “Before He Cheats” and “Jesus, Take the Wheel,” the 42-year-old Oklahoma native has become a global icon, headlining tours, judging American Idol again and staying active with her fitness app and Calia clothing line. Currently, she’s a fixture at the Grand Ole Opry, where she’s been a member since 2008, thanks to an invitation from Randy Travis. Underwood’s personal life is equally compelling – she has been married to former NHL player Mike Fisher since 2010, after meeting him backstage at a concert through her bassist, a mutual friend. The couple, who live on a sprawling farm outside Nashville with their two sons, Isaiah and Jacob, have kept their romance low-key – until their recent red carpet moment piqued fans’ curiosity.

Last night Carrie Underwood and Mike Fisher made their first joint red carpet appearance in two years, stepping out for Opry 100: A Live Celebration at Nashville’s iconic Grand Ole Opry. The event, celebrating the venue’s centennial, drew a star-studded crowd, and Underwood delivered a tearful tribute to Randy Travis, performing “Three Wooden Crosses” and “Forever and Ever, Amen.” She handed the mic to Travis for the final “Amen,” sparking a standing ovation and emotional hugs on stage.
Earlier in the evening, Underwood dazzled in a strapless black gown with a sheer metallic beaded overlay, her blonde hair sleek and straight, while Fisher looked sharp in a classic dark suit and white shirt. It was a rare public moment for the couple, who hadn’t walked a carpet together since the 2022 CMA Awards, where Underwood was up for Entertainer of the Year, signaling her return to the spotlight after a hiatus.
Mike Fisher, Underwood’s husband, is a retired NHL veteran whose 17-year career left a lasting mark. The 44-year-old Canadian played 1,088 games, mostly with the Ottawa Senators (1999-2011) and Nashville Predators (2011-2018), amassing 589 points (278 goals, 311 assists) and winning a Stanley Cup with Nashville in 2018. A two-time All-Star and Selke Trophy finalist for defensive forward play, Fisher’s grit made him a fan favorite, but he stepped away in 2018 to focus on family life.
For the past two years, he’s avoided red carpets, prioritizing privacy on his Tennessee farm with Underwood and their boys, Isaiah and Jacob, while supporting Carrie’s career. His low profile reflects a shift from the hockey spotlight to fatherhood, but this Opry appearance hints at a possible return to public events that showcase his ongoing partnership with Underwood.
