Carrie Underwood’s career has also reportedly been a contentious issue in her marriage. Because the singer spends so much time on the road, Underwood and Mike Fisher spend a lot of time apart. “She used to be paranoid about him when he was playing ice hockey and traveling around with the team with all those groupies hanging around. Now he’s paranoid about her being so many miles away,” a source told Radar in 2022.
Her work is said to have become an issue again in 2023 when she extended her Reflection Las Vegas residency into 2024. “He’s very traditional, and while he loves that Carrie has a career, he believes her role as a wife and a mother should be a priority,” an insider told OK!. That year, Fisher was nowhere to be found at the CMT Awards, a detail that didn’t go unnoticed. After all, he had steadily been by her side at the event over the years.
But Underwood didn’t let it become a source of speculation. “My husband’s got the kiddos. He’s always holding down the fort while I’m out doing stuff like this,” she told People. That seemingly has also posed challenges in the marriage. Fisher, Isaiah, and Jacob often join Underwood on tour so she can be present for the boys. But he’s getting tired. “He has dreams, too,” another source told Radar. Despite the rumors, they’re still going strong, though.
