Mike Fisher Has Something to Say About His Marriage to Carrie Underwood
As a professional hockey player, Mike Fisher is going to let negative rumors about his marriage just skate by unremarked upon.
Words can have power and Fisher wants to make sure the public is not being played by this chatter.
Having exhausted our knowledge of hockey-related terms, we’ll now get to the issue at hand:
Last week, a report emerged online that claimed Fisher and Carrie Underwood were headed for a divorce.
This wasn’t the first time we had heard that the stars may be splitting, either.
In this case, however, a source told In Touch Weekly that hectic schedules for the athlete and the singer were making it difficult to connect.
They share a son together, but they rarely share the same bed.
“Just by the very nature of their jobs, Carrie is gone on long concert tours and Mike was away playing for the team a lot,” wrote this tabloid, adding that Fisher’s decision to return to hockey is creating a lot of tension.
Says this anonymous insider:
“If Carrie and Mike continue to grow apart, it will surely end in divorce for them. And that would be heartbreaking.”
We totes agree! They seem SO happy together!
Thankfully, Fisher is here to assure us that he and the former American Idol champion plan to remain happy… together.
On Sunday, he shared a verse from from Psalm 139:23-24 on Instagram that read as follows:
“Search me, God, and know my heart; test me and know my anxious thoughts. See if there is any offensive way in me, and lead me in the way everlasting.”
Followers interpreted this as confirmation that his relationship was in trouble, prompting Fisher to issue a follow-up on Wednesday.
In response to a fan who said she was praying for the couple, Fisher wrote:
“We’ve never been better. Thanks.”
PHEW, right?!?
That was a close one, folks.
According to Us Weekly, things are going so well for Underwood and Fisher that they are hoping to expand their family in the near future.
“Everyone around her knows she wants a big family, and they’re always trying for another baby,” a friend of the Grammy winner tells this publication.
Fisher, though, is planning a return to the Carolina Panthers following a five-month retirement, so the timing isn’t ideal.
For her part, Underwood is still recovering from a horrific fall she suffered last November.
Both clearly have a lot going on in their lives.
Both those lives still include each other and, based on these most recent quotes, always will.
Concludes Us Weekly:
“Carrie and Mike have a great life and a very strong marriage – one that their friends envy.
“They are completely committed to each other and in it for the long run.”
Hooray! That’s more exciting than something very exciting that sometimes happens in the sport of hockey!

Carrie Underwood and Mike Fisher: Headed for Divorce?!
Carrie Underwood and her husband, retired hockey player Mike Fisher, are easily the best looking couple at every Country awards show. No, scratch that — wherever they go. Yes, even after Carrie Underwood’s terrible accident.
But there’s more to keeping a marriage alive than outrageous good looks. Or even than sharing a child together.
According to a new report, Carrie Underwood and Mike Fisher are headed for divorce.
It’s been a little over a year since the last time that we heard divorce rumors about Carrie Underwood and Mike Fisher.
At the time, the couple was said to be squabbling over their life plans.
Carrie Fisher was touring all of the time because, you know, she has a music career.
It was reported that the couple had initially agreed to have four children, but so far has only one — little Isaiah.
So it was allegedly Mike Fisher who was unhappy with their marriage because their family wasn’t growing quickly enough for his tastes. But apparently, whatever it was, they worked it out, because that was all in late 2016.
Now, however, InTouch Weekly reports that Carrie Underwood and Mike Fisher will divorce for different reasons.
“She and Mike love each other, but like any couple they’ve had challenges.”
But, according to their source, it’s become too much.
“So much so that at times, Carrie has been at the breaking point.”
Part of the alleged trouble in their marriage stems from similar issues that arose before.
“Just by the very nature of their jobs, Carrie is gone on long concert tours and Mike was away playing for the team a lot.”
It sounds like, this time, Carrie’s the one who’s unhappy. Well, unhappier.
“Carrie has wanted more quality time with Mike. They’ve only been on a couple of vacations together in the seven years they’ve been married.”
Mike recently retired from hockey … and then turned around and got back on the ice to work with a different team.
“She really thought that Mike’s retirement was going to give them the time they needed to work on making their family stronger.”
Mike Fisher’s ice fever — or whatever — may end up costing him his marriage.
“His decision put a huge strain on their marriage. If Carrie and Mike continue to grow apart, it will surely end in divorce for them. And that would be heartbreaking.”
It does sound like the size of their family continues to be an alleged issue for Carrie and Mike.
“Carrie’s been desperate to have a little brother or sister for Isaiah. But she’s been struggling to get pregnant.”
Well, they’re both gorgeous, but that doesn’t mean that they’re getting any younger.
“She was hoping Mike would become more involved in the process of possible IVF treatments, if it came to that.”
It seems that there may be some communication issues.
“[Mike] isn’t always cognizant of Carrie’s feelings and needs.”
Divorce would almost be a last resort for these two, however.
Carrie has stated in the past that she believes that God brought her and Mike together. Her faith is extremely important to her, and she reportedly feels like ending her marriage would have religious implications.
But this source claims that she may be out of options.
“If Carrie and Mike continue to grow apart, they will have no choice but to divorce.”
We wish Carrie and Mike the best, of course. We hope that they can resolve their differences happily as they’ve done before.

Carrie Fisher: Mourned, Remembed One Year After Death
It’s been one year since Hollywood was shaken to its core by the most tragic of news:
Carrie Fisher had passed away.
The beloved actress had fallen unconscious a couple days prior to Christmas after suffering a heart attack and finally succumbed to the after-effects on December 28, 2017.
Exactly 365 days ago today.
Immediately following her death, tributes and words of mourning poured forth from all who knew the legendary actress well.
And even from those who were just familiar with her work, such was the profound impact Fisher had on so many individuals.
Now, on the anniversary of her death, two of the most important people in Carrie’s life have spoken out once again.
First, her daughter, Billie Lourd.
“My momby had an otherworldly obsession with the northern lights, but I never got to see them with her,” Lourd wrote on social media on Wednesday.
She added:
“We journeyed to northern Norway to see if we might ‘see the heavens lift up her dark skirts and flash her dazzling privates across [our] unworthy irises.’ And she did.”
In a beautiful and simple conclusion, the young actress wrote:
“I love you times infinity.”
“In just an hour, the post reached close to 50,000 Likes, with many users expressing their love and support in the Comments section.
Then there was Mark Hamill.
The actor, who co-starred in a number of Star Wars films with Fisher and who had a special bond with the late star, took to Twitter this afternoon and wrote the following:
“No one’s ever really gone…”
He penned this caption along with the hashtags “#AlwaysWithUs” and “#CarrieOnForever” and a photo of the stars together.
This photo was itself alongside a drawing of Fisher and her beloved dog, Gary, which is … well… totally awesome.
See for yourself:
As many movie fans also know, director Rian Johnson recently paid tribute himself to Fisher in Star Wars: The Last Jedi.
Shortly after the credits, a dedication appears onscreen that reads: “In Loving Memory of Our Princess, Carrie Fisher.”
“I want to dedicate tonight to Carrie, who is up there right now flipping me the bird, saying, ‘Damn it, Rian, don’t you dare make this night a solemn tribute,"” the director joked at the film’s premiere earlier this month, adding simply:
“So let’s all have a blast tonight for Carrie.”
The veteran star’s cause of death was eventually revealed to be from sleep apnea and “other undetermined factors.”
May she continue to rest in peace.

Billie Lourd Recalls Final Time She Saw Carrie Fisher
Billie Lourd has given her first interview since she suffered not one, but two unimaginable losses in the span of just over 24 hours last December.
First, the young actress said goodbye to her mother, beloved Star Wars icon Carrie Fisher.
Then, the very next day, Lourd’s grandmother (and Fisher’s mother), Debbie Reynolds, also passed away.
Lourd, best known in the entertainment world for her role on Scream Queens, has commented here and there about the tragic deaths via her Instagram page.
But she opens up in major detail for the first time in this Q&A with Town & Country.
Speaking to American Horror Story star Sarah Paulson for the latest issue’s cover story, Lourd contrasts life with her organized father against that of her famously chaotic mother.
“He gets home at the same time every day, and we eat dinner together, we do homework together, we watch Extreme Makeover: Home Edition and cry, and then go to sleep,” Lourd explained of living with her dad.
“At Mom’s it was like, ‘Let’s put Christmas lights in the palm trees at 2 a.m.’
“Do you remember when Sharper Image was 24 hours? We went there all the time, 1 a.m. or 3 a.m., just picking up little trinkets… as if that was what you do!”
Both Fisher and Reynolds became household names in the entertainment industry, but Lourd says neither wanted her to follow in their acting footsteps.
“I think in a normal family they would have looked at me and been like, ‘Hey, this kid’s a performer.’ But I was so scared. I was embarrassed, honestly,” she tells the publication, adding:
“Because they were like, ‘This is going to be a really s–tty lifestyle, and everyone’s going to be scrutinizing you deeply and constantly.’
“My mom wrote five books and a one-woman show; they didn’t want more things for people to be able to Google about me.”
Fisher was known for being outspoken. At absolutely all times.
Lourd says she was initially turned off by just how honest and raw her mother was – on stage, writing in books or when speaking to reporters – but she eventually came to admire it.
Now, Billie says she wants to emuluate Fisher.
“Looking back and watching her interviews, I try to model what I do after her. She was so good at it. She would get so annoyed with me if I ever did a fake interview.
“She’d say, ‘Tell the real story."”
Billie says she surprised everyone (including herself) with how comfortable she felt on the set of her first film, Star Wars: The Force Awakens – and her family quickly became supportive of her burgeoning career at this small role.
“Debbie was still encouraging me to put an act together. Literally three days before she died, she was like, ‘What numbers are you going to put in your act? Who are you going to impersonate?’
“I said, ‘I don’t think people do acts as much anymore,"”
“And she came back, ‘That’s why if you do one you’ll be more successful than anyone else. The act is a dying art, and someone needs to revive it.”
Elsewhere, Lourd says she’s keeping her mother’s compound (“It’s so magical.”) and that she relied on humor to get her through the hardest week of her life:
“If life’s not funny, then it’s just true – and that would be unacceptable,” she says, quoting her mom.
“Even when she died, that was what got me through that whole thing.
“When Debbie died the next day, I could just picture her saying, ‘Well, she’s upstaging me once again, of course – she had to.”
Billie, of course, would give anything to have her loved ones alive and back in her life.
But there’s an opportunity now for her to become more independent.
“I’ve always kind of lived in their shadows, and now is the first time in my life when I get to own my life and stand on my own,” she says.”
“I love being my mother’s daughter, and it’s something I always will be, but now I get to be just Billie.”
When was the last time she saw her mom alive? What does she think her mother would say to her now?
“The last time I saw her in person, this episode of Scream Queens was on, and it was a big episode for me.
“I had tons of scenes, and I was so hard on myself about it – I hated how I looked, hated my performance. I was really frustrated. She told me, ‘Come over right now. I want to watch this with you.’
“And she made me sit down and watch it, and she forced me to see the good parts. She was incredible like that.
“But she was really hard on me, saying, ‘Shut up. You’re great in this. Have faith in yourself. Be more confident."”
In conclusion, Lourd is in as much awe of her late mother’s honesty as any Star Wars fan out there.
“It’s good to be authentic, to help other people, but if it’s not helping other people, then don’t do it.
“There were a couple incidents I wish she could have kept to herself. But, you know, that was the beauty of her.”
