Reality has now emerged about Carrie Underwood’s significant other

Carrie Underwood and husband Mike Fisher make a perfect celebrity couple. The pair tied the knot in 2010 in a dreamy wedding in Georgia.

The winner of the fourth season of American Idol and the Ottawa Senators hockey player at a backstage meet-and-greet following one of her concerts. Carrie’s initial reaction to Mike was “hot, hot, hot.”

Their relationship was challenging at the beginning because Carrie resided in Nashville while Mike lived in Canada at the time.

“I mean, can I make dating more difficult?” the Grammy Award winner once said during an episode of VH1’s Behind the Music. “Let’s get a hockey guy who lives in another country. Awesome.”

The two stayed in touch through phone calls before meeting again in person around three months following their initial meeting.

In her songs, Carrie often sings about heartbreak, but her real love life can’t be any better.

Speaking to People, she once said, “I feel like he is the person I was meant to be with.”

In their 2020 docuseries, Mike and Carrie: God & Country, the songstress and the athlete admitted to facing several highs and lows in their marriage.

“We learn from each other and have spirited discussions about things that we disagree on, but at the end of the day, we love each other very much,” she said in an episode.

However, no matter the challenges, the couple learned how to communicate through their differences.

The couple share two children together, Isaiah, born in 2015, and Jacob, born in 2019.

“I love my role as a mom and wife. In addition to what I get to do onstage, I go to baseball practice,” Carrie shared in a May 2023 interview with Vegas Magazine. “It’s wonderfully ordinary, and I love that. In a lot of ways, I lead a double life. I’m mom at home, and then I fly away to Vegas or to go on tour.”

Of course, when she’s busy touring, she gets a lot of help from Mike who’s taking care of the kids.

Back in 2017, she experienced a fall and broke her wrist. It was a tough period which Carrie says wouldn’t have been able to overcome easily had it not been for her husband.

“He is so levelheaded about everything, and when I was dealing with everything, not just emotionally but hormonally, when you’re going on that roller coaster of pregnant, not pregnant, pregnant, not pregnant, I was probably not very easy to love, to be honest,” she shared with People. “And to have somebody so even-keeled, he was my lifeline, keeping me grounded.”

The couple celebrated their 13th wedding anniversary last year and they are still going strong.

We Adopted a Silent Boy — His First Words a Year Later Shattered Everything: “My Parents Are Alive”

When we adopted Bobby, a silent five-year-old boy, we thought time and love would heal his pain. But on his sixth birthday, he shattered our lives with five words: “My parents are alive.” What happened next revealed truths we never saw coming.

I always thought becoming a mother would be natural and effortless. But life had other plans.

When Bobby spoke those words, it wasn’t just his first sentence. It was the beginning of a journey that would test our love, our patience, and everything we believed about family.

I used to think life was perfect. I had a loving husband, a cozy home, and a steady job that let me pursue my hobbies.

But something was missing. Something I felt in every quiet moment and every glance at the empty second bedroom.

I wanted a child.

When Jacob and I decided to start trying, I was so hopeful. I pictured late-night feedings, messy art projects, and watching our little one grow.

But months turned into years, and that picture never came to life.

We tried everything from fertility treatments to visiting the best specialists in town. Each time, we were met with the same answer: “I’m sorry.”

The day it all came crashing down is etched in my mind.

We’d just left yet another fertility clinic. The doctor’s words echoed in my head.

“There’s nothing more we can do,” he’d said. “Adoption might be your best option.”

I held it together until we got home. As soon as I walked into our living room, I collapsed on the sofa, sobbing uncontrollably.

Jacob followed me.

“Alicia, what happened?” he asked. “Talk to me, please.”

I shook my head, barely able to get the words out. “I just… I don’t understand. Why is this happening to us? All I’ve ever wanted is to be a mom, and now it’s never going to happen.”

“It’s not fair. I know,” he said as he sat beside me and pulled me close. “But maybe there’s another way. Maybe we don’t have to stop here.”

“You mean adoption?” My voice cracked as I looked at him. “Do you really think it’s the same? I don’t even know if I can love a child that isn’t mine.”

Jacob’s hands framed my face, and his eyes locked on mine.

“Alicia, you have more love in you than anyone I know. Biology doesn’t define a parent. Love does. And you… you’re a mom in every way that matters.”

His words lingered in my mind over the next few days. I replayed our conversation every time doubt crept in.

Could I really do this? Could I be the mother a child deserved, even if they weren’t biologically mine?

Finally, one morning, as I watched Jacob sipping his coffee at the kitchen table, I made my decision.

“I’m ready,” I said quietly.

He looked up, his eyes filled with hope. “For what?”

“For adoption,” I announced.

“What?” Jacob’s face lit up. “You have no idea how happy I am to hear that.”

“Wait,” I said, raising a brow. “You’ve already been thinking about this, haven’t you?”

He laughed.

“Maybe a little,” he confessed. “I’ve been researching foster homes nearby. There’s one not too far. We could visit this weekend if you’re ready.”

“Let’s do this,” I nodded. “Let’s visit the foster home this weekend.”

The weekend arrived faster than I expected. As we drove to the foster home, I stared out the window, trying to calm my nerves.

“What if they don’t like us?” I whispered.

“They’ll love us,” Jacob said, squeezing my hand. “And if they don’t, we’ll figure it out. Together.”

When we arrived, a kind woman named Mrs. Jones greeted us at the door. She led us inside while telling us about the place.

“We have some wonderful children I’d love for you to meet,” she said, guiding us to a playroom filled with laughter and chatter.

As my eyes scanned the room, they stopped on a little boy sitting in the corner. He wasn’t playing like the others. He was watching.

His big eyes were so full of thought, and they seemed to see right through me.

“Hi there,” I said, crouching down beside him. “What’s your name?”

He stared at me, silent.

That’s when my gaze shifted from him to Mrs. Jones.

“Is he, uh, does he not talk?” I asked.

“Oh, Bobby talks,” she chuckled. “He’s just shy. Give him time, and he’ll come around.”

I turned back to Bobby, my heart aching for this quiet little boy.

“It’s nice to meet you, Bobby,” I said, even though he didn’t respond.

Later, in her office, Mrs. Jones told us his story.

Bobby had been abandoned as a baby and left near another foster home with a note that read, His parents are dead, and I’m not ready to care for the boy.

“He’s been through more than most adults ever will,” she said. “But he’s a sweet, smart boy. He just needs someone to believe in him. Someone to care for him. And love him.”

At that point, I didn’t need more convincing. I was ready to welcome him into our lives.

“We want him,” I said, looking at Jacob.

He nodded. “Absolutely.”

As we signed the paperwork and prepared to bring Bobby home, I felt something I hadn’t felt in years. Hope.

I didn’t know what challenges lay ahead, but I knew one thing for certain. We were ready to love this little boy with everything we had.

And that was only the beginning.

When we brought Bobby home, our lives changed in ways we never could have imagined.

From the moment he walked into our house, we wanted him to feel safe and loved. We decorated his room with bright colors, shelves full of books, and his favorite dinosaurs.

But Bobby remained silent.

He observed everything with those big, thoughtful eyes like he was trying to figure out if this was real or just temporary. Jacob and I poured every ounce of love we had into him, hoping he’d open up.

“Do you want to help me bake cookies, Bobby?” I’d ask, crouching down to his level.

He’d nod, his tiny fingers grabbing the cookie cutters, but he never said a word.

One day, Jacob took him to soccer practice and cheered on from the sidelines.

“Great kick, buddy! You’ve got this!” he shouted.

But Bobby? He just smiled faintly and stayed quiet.

At night, I read him bedtime stories.

“Once upon a time,” I’d begin, peeking over the book to see if he was paying attention.

He always was, but he never spoke.

Months passed like this. We didn’t push him because we knew he needed time.

Then his sixth birthday approached, and Jacob and I decided to throw him a small party. Just the three of us and a cake with little dinosaurs on top.

The look on his face when he saw the cake was worth every bit of effort.

“Do you like it, Bobby?” Jacob asked.

Bobby nodded and smiled at us.

As we lit the candles and sang “Happy Birthday,” I noticed Bobby staring at us intently. When the song ended, he blew out the candles, and for the first time, he spoke.

“My parents are alive,” he said softly.

Jacob and I exchanged shocked glances, unsure if we’d heard him correctly.

“What did you say, sweetheart?” I asked, kneeling beside him.

He looked up at me and repeated the same words.

“My parents are alive.”

I couldn’t believe my ears.

How could he know that? Was he remembering something? Had someone told him?

My mind raced, but Bobby said nothing more that night.

Later, as I tucked him into bed, he clutched his new stuffed dinosaur and whispered, “At the foster place, the grownups said my real mommy and daddy didn’t want me. They’re not dead. They just gave me away.”

His words broke my heart and made me curious about the foster home. Were his parents really alive? Why didn’t Mrs. Jones tell us this?

The next day, Jacob and I returned to the foster home to confront Mrs. Jones. We needed answers.

When we told her what Bobby had said, she looked uncomfortable.

“I… I didn’t want you to find out this way,” she admitted, wringing her hands. “But the boy is right. His parents are alive. They’re wealthy and, uh, they didn’t want a child with health issues. They paid my boss to keep it quiet. I didn’t agree with it, but it wasn’t my call.”

“What health issues?” I asked.

“He wasn’t well when they abandoned him, but his illness was temporary,” she explained. “He’s all good now.”

“And the story about that note? Was it all made up?”

“Yes,” she confessed. “We made that story up because our boss said so. I’m sorry for that.”

Her words felt like a betrayal. How could someone abandon their own child? And for what? Because he wasn’t perfect in their eyes?

When we got home, we explained everything to Bobby in the simplest way we could. But he was adamant.

“I wanna see them,” he said, clutching his stuffed dinosaur tightly.

Despite our reservations, we knew we had to honor his request. So, we asked Mrs. Jones for his parents’ address and contact details.

At first, she didn’t allow us to contact them. But when we told her about Bobby’s situation and how he was so desperate to see them, she was compelled to change her decision.

Soon, we drove Bobby to his parents’ place. We had no idea how he’d react, but we were sure this would help him heal.

When we reached the towering gates of the mansion, Bobby’s eyes lit up in a way we’d never seen before.

As we parked our car and walked toward it, he clung to my hand and his fingers tightly gripped mine as if he’d never let go.

Jacob knocked on the door, and a few moments later, a well-dressed couple appeared. Their polished smiles faltered the second they saw Bobby.

“Can we help you?” the woman asked in a shaky voice.

“This is Bobby,” Jacob said. “Your son.”

They looked at Bobby with wide eyes.

“Are you my mommy and daddy?” the little boy asked.

The couple looked at each other and it seemed like they wanted to disappear. They were embarrassed and started explaining why they gave their child up.

“We thought,” the man began. “We thought we were doing the right thing. We couldn’t handle a sick child. We believed someone else could give him a better life.”

I felt my anger rising, but before I could say anything, Bobby stepped forward.

“Why didn’t you keep me?” he asked, looking straight into his birth parents’ eyes.

“We, uh, we didn’t know how to help you,” the woman said in a shaky voice.

Bobby frowned. “I think you didn’t even try…”

Then, he turned to me.

“Mommy,” he began. “I don’t want to go with the people who left me. I don’t like them. I want to be with you and Daddy.”

Tears filled my eyes as I knelt beside him.

“You don’t have to go with them,” I whispered. “We’re your family now, Bobby. We’re never letting you go.”

Jacob placed a protective hand on Bobby’s shoulder.

“Yes, we’re never letting you go,” he said.

The couple said nothing except awkwardly shifting from one foot to the other. Their body language told me they were ashamed, but not one word of apology escaped their lips.

As we left that mansion, I felt an overwhelming sense of peace. That day, Bobby had chosen us, just as we had chosen him.

His actions made me realize we weren’t just his adoptive parents. We were his real family.

Bobby flourished after that day, his smile growing brighter and his laughter filling our home. He began to trust us completely, sharing his thoughts, his dreams, and even his fears.

Watching him thrive, Jacob and I felt our family was finally complete. We loved it when Bobby called us “Mommy” and “Daddy” with pride.

And every time he did, it reminded me that love, not biology, is what makes a family.
