Carrie Underwood and Husband Mike Fisher's Relationship Timeline

Carrie Underwood and Mike Fisher‘s relationship timeline proves they can take on anything together. From their best moments, like when they welcomed their two sons, Isaiah and Jacob, to their toughest times, including Carrie’s three miscarriages, these two remain devoted through thick and thin.

The duo’s love story dates back to 2008 when the country music star’s bassist Mark Childers tried to set her up on a date with Mike. At the time, Carrie was living in Nashville, while the hunk was playing professional hockey for the Ottawa Senators in Canada.

“I mean, can I make dating more difficult? Let’s get a hockey guy who lives in another country. Awesome,” the Grammy Award winner hilariously recalled on VH1’s Behind the Music. Though the date had yet to happen, Carrie couldn’t deny that she found Mike attractive.

The “Before He Cheats” singer ended up meeting him when she invited Mike backstage at one of her concerts. “Hot, hot, hot,” she recalled herself saying of the first time she laid eyes on her hubby, and the feeling was mutual. “First time I saw her,” Mike said on the MTV show, “[I thought] she was more beautiful in person than on TV.” After their initial encounter, Carrie and Mike soon started dating.

On New Year’s Eve 2008, they ended up having their first kiss as they watched the ball drop in Times Square. “We were in front of people, and he’s not a big PDA guy,” the musician told Glamour in 2012. “I figured, I’ll go in for it because he can’t leave me hanging, right? So I made him kiss me in public.” Mike enjoyed that kiss so much, he asked Carrie to marry him the following year in 2009.

After they tied the knot in July 2010, they welcomed their first son, Isaiah, in February 2015, and their second child, Jacob, in January 2019. Though Carrie and Mike endured three pregnancy losses between the births of their children, the couple pushed through the heartbreak together and now, “they always say how happy they are as a family of four.”

“The boys are their world,” an insider exclusively shared with Closer Weekly in June 2020. “Mike loves having two little boys to run around outdoors and to teach sports. And motherhood has fulfilled Carrie and keeps her feeling grounded.”

2011

In February 2011, Mike moved from Canada to Nashville to be with his wife after he was drafted by their local Hockey team. “I was praying a few days before about [moving teams],” he previously told the Vancouver Sun. “I was just so frustrated and said ‘God, if you have me go somewhere take care of it, look after it,’ and he sure did that. He put me in a place I was comfortable with and I think that’s part of [the] reason that this is the place I’m supposed to be and that’s comforting for sure.”

2018

After welcoming baby Isaiah, Carrie and Mike’s journey through parenthood wasn’t easy. During 2017 and 2018, the singer suffered three miscarriages. The American Idol alum revealed the news for the first time on CBS Sunday Morning in September 2018.

“2017 just wasn’t how I imagined it. I kind of planned that 2017 was going to be the year that I work on new music, and I’d have a baby.” We got pregnant early 2017 and it didn’t work out. Yeah, it happens. And that was the thing, in the beginning, it’s like, ‘OK, God, we know that this just wasn’t your timing and that is alright, we will bounce back and figure our way through it,’” she recalled through years. “And then we got pregnant in the spring and it didn’t work out. Got pregnant again in early 2018, didn’t work out. So at that point, it was kinda like, ‘OK, what’s the deal?’”

The “Love Wins” singer and her beau got more candid than ever about their pregnancy losses during an episode of their May 2020 web series, Mike and Carrie: God & Country. As they appeared alongside each other in the video, Carrie explained why she was “hurt” and felt like she “had enough.”

“I had an honest conversation with God, and I told him how I felt,” she emotionally shared. “I was a little angry and, of course, you feel guilty for being mad at your creator … I told him we needed something. We needed to have a baby or not, ever, because I couldn’t keep going down that road anymore.”

2019

A few years after her little one’s arrival, the new parents welcomed their second child in January 2019. “Jacob Bryan Fisher entered the world in the wee hours of the morning on Monday … his mom, dad and big brother couldn’t be happier for God to trust them with taking care of this little miracle!” the mother of two shared on Instagram. “Our hearts are full, our eyes are tired and our lives are forever changed. Life is good … ”

2021

Though plenty of couples have headed for Splitsville amid the coronavirus pandemic, Carrie said she and Mike’s bond has only strengthened. Since the COVID-19 outbreak became widespread in early 2020, the pair have been quarantining together at their Nashville home with their sons.

“Well, my husband did say, ‘You know what? I like you.’ And I was like, ‘I like you too,'” Carrie recounted during an appearance on CBS Sunday Morning on April 4, noting “it’s kind of weird” how comfortable the pair is being together 24/7.

“We’ve been together, and some couples kind of get stronger, and you see some go the other way. And so, like, we were really good at being together all day, every day,” the country songstress continued. “He’s like, ‘No, you know you love someone, but it’s like, when you are off doing your own thing, and then, you know, you come have dinner together, you don’t really have to deal with each other that much.'”

Nothing can tear these two apart!
