It's a story that's been swirling through the Hollywood rumor mill for weeks: Could American Idol be the final nail in the coffin of Carrie Underwood's marriage? After all, the country music queen is not only set to return to the show as a judge (a first for anyone to be both a judge and performer on the show), but she's also about to face the pressure of a long-distance relationship while juggling her demanding career.
But hold your horses! Carrie's camp is adamant that this American Idol journey won't spell doom for her marriage to former hockey star Mike Fisher, a relationship that has weathered its fair share of storms over the years.
Behind the Headlines: A Marriage Under Scrutiny
The truth is, Carrie's whirlwind career has been a source of tension for the couple since the beginning. Back in 2018, when Mike retired from professional hockey, the pressure to adjust to a new normal was intense. “They had their share of struggles behind closed doors, specifically when Mike was still playing hockey and they were having a hard time balancing their careers and home life,” an anonymous source told OK! Magazine.
“But there were still rough patches after his retirement, too.”
The source continued, "When they feel frustrated with each other or like they aren’t as connected as they could be, they make it a point to slow down, prioritize their marriage and meet in the middle.”
This speaks volumes about the couple's commitment to navigating the challenges of their busy lives. They've been open about the sacrifices they've made, including Carrie's significant time spent on the road during her last tour.
