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, attending numerous award shows together, including the Grammys, CMA Awards, and American Music Awards. However, at the 2023 CMT Awards, Fisher was noticeably absent, leaving fans wondering what had happened.
Underwood, who was nominated for Female Video of the Year and Video of the Year, walked the red carpet solo, but she quickly put fans’ minds at ease when asked about her husband’s whereabouts. She revealed that Fisher was back home, taking care of their three boys, Isaiah, Jacob, and their youngest son.
The country singer gushed about her husband’s parenting skills, saying, “My husband is in charge of the kids. He usually keeps the fort while I’m doing things like this.” She even gave a shoutout to her boys, who were watching from home.
It’s not uncommon for Underwood and Fisher to prioritize their family life over their public appearances. In fact, when Underwood went on tour last year, they decided not to bring their kids along to avoid disrupting their routine. Fisher has always been a hands-on father, allowing Underwood to focus on her career.
Fisher’s desire to be a devoted father has been evident from the start. Before Isaiah was born, he expressed his excitement about becoming a dad, saying, “I’m just thinking about how to be the best father I can be.” Underwood, on the other hand, had initially doubted her ability to be a good mother, but having children has brought her immense joy.
The couple’s journey to becoming parents has not been without its challenges, but they’ve come out stronger on the other side. Underwood has spoken candidly about how motherhood has changed her, saying, “It has changed me as a person. I’m happier now. I’m in a better mood most of the time.” Fisher’s presence at home, taking care of their kids, is a testament to their commitment to their family and each other.
