Remember when rumors were swirling that Carrie Underwood and Mike Fisher’s marriage was on the rocks? Well, let me tell you, folks, those rumors couldn’t be further from the truth. Back in November, Carrie suffered a pretty scary fall that left her needing wrist surgery and 40 stitches on her face. And then, just six months after Mike Fisher hung up his skates to retire from hockey, he surprisingly unretired. These events led to some wild speculation that their marriage was under strain. But here’s the real scoop: Carrie and Mike are closer than ever.

According to an insider who knows the couple well, Carrie wants everyone to know that she and Mike are stronger than ever. “They’ve certainly had their ups and downs, like every couple,” the source told Life & Style. “But divorce was never on the table for Carrie. She says that hard work, faith, and a deep commitment to family are what have kept their marriage strong through thick and thin.”

Let’s take a moment to appreciate Carrie and Mike’s journey. They’ve been married for more than seven years, and let’s be honest, every marriage has its ups and downs. The key to their success? Open communication and making time for each other, even in the hustle and bustle of their busy lives. They’ve got a little nugget of gold in their three-year-old son, Isaiah, and the insider says they’re working on expanding their family. “Carrie wants to be clear that it’s not a Band-Aid baby,” the source emphasized. “It’s definitely not to fix anything. It’s to spread the love.”

Growing Their Family

Carrie and Mike have been trying for a second child for some time now. A source previously told Life & Style, “Carrie’s been desperate to have a little brother or sister for Isaiah. But she’s been struggling to get pregnant.” This journey hasn’t been easy, but it’s clear that their love for each other and their family is unwavering.

Carrie Reflects on Motherhood and Marriage

Back in 2015, Carrie opened up about the challenges their marriage faced after Isaiah’s birth. “Your marriage does change a lot when you have a baby—it’s a whole new dynamic,” she shared. “You have to make it a point to not lose yourselves as a couple. There’s so much going on, it becomes easy to not focus on your marriage anymore.” But Carrie and Mike are proving that with dedication and effort, they can overcome any obstacle. And honestly, Isaiah would make the best (and cutest!) big brother, wouldn’t he?
