Carrie Underwood and Mike Fisher’s publicly reported story began with a backstage introduction in 2008, continued through a long-distance courtship, and reached an engagement in 2009 and a Georgia wedding in 2010. Here is the timeline, distinguishing reports made at the time from details shared in later accounts.
2008: A backstage introduction
Underwood and Fisher reportedly met backstage at a concert in 2008 after her bassist, Mark Childers, introduced them. Fisher was then playing for the Ottawa Senators, while Underwood was based in Nashville, making the early relationship long-distance. This account comes from ELLE’s retrospective timeline, published in 2025.

2020: Underwood marks their tenth anniversary
For their tenth anniversary, Underwood shared a message later reproduced by Entertainment Tonight: “You’ll grow up to have pretty cool jobs, you’ll meet backstage at some girl’s concert, fall in love, get married, have two amazing boys, and live happily ever after!” The line reflects her anniversary post and its warm, playful telling of their story.

Family and the question of their current status
Later entertainment coverage describes Underwood and Fisher as parents of two sons. The sources cited here do not establish a dated primary confirmation of their present marital status, so this timeline does not treat an undated “still married” label as newly verified. It documents the publicly reported milestones above rather than making a fresh claim about their relationship today.
