Carrie Underwood and her husband, Mike Fisher, are one of country music’s most beloved couples. They’ve been a staple on the red carpet, walking hand-in-hand at prestigious award ceremonies like the Grammys, CMA Awards, and American Music Awards.
However, when the 2023 CMT Awards rolled around, Fisher was noticeably absent. Underwood, who was nominated for Female Video of the Year and Video of the Year, walked the red carpet solo, sparking speculation about Fisher’s whereabouts.
But, as it turns out, there was no drama or strife in paradise. Underwood revealed on the red carpet that Fisher was simply on daddy duty for the evening, taking care of their three boys back home.
Underwood gave a sweet shoutout to her kids, implying that they were watching her from home. It was a heartwarming moment that showcased the couple’s commitment to their family.
The 2023 CMT Awards marked a change of scenery for Underwood, who stunned in a rhinestone two-piece that landed her on all the Best Dressed lists. The event was held in Austin, Texas, a departure from previous years when it was held in Nashville, closer to the couple’s home.
Underwood and Fisher are known for keeping their children, Isaiah and Jacob, out of the spotlight. When Underwood went on tour last year, they decided not to bring the kids along to avoid disrupting their routine.
Fisher has been a hands-on father, allowing Underwood to focus on her career. “He has it under lock and key,” she said. “I never have to worry about unpacked lunches or laundry not done.”
Fisher’s desire to be a devoted father was evident even before Isaiah was born in 2015. He told The Tennessean that he couldn’t wait to be a father and was thinking about how to be the best one he could be.
Underwood, on the other hand, initially doubted her ability to be a good mother. However, after Isaiah was born, her perspective changed. “It has changed me as a person,” she said. “I’m happier now. I’m in a better mood most of the time.”
Today, Underwood and Fisher are living their dream, raising their two children in the country. Despite the challenges they’ve faced, their love and commitment to each other and their family remain strong.
