Country music queen Carrie Underwood has revealed the emotional rollercoaster that almost broke her—and how the miracle of a child helped bring her and husband Mike Fisher back from the brink.
It’s the fairytale romance that fans thought was picture-perfect: the chart-topping singer and the ice hockey star, raising a family away from the spotlight in Nashville. But behind the scenes, Carrie Underwood, 42, and husband Mike Fisher, 45, were quietly struggling with heartbreak, silence—and the kind of pain that can tear even the strongest couples apart.
Now, in an exclusive and tearful interview, the Before He Cheats singer has laid bare the devastating series of miscarriages that nearly destroyed their dreams of becoming parents again—and the unexpected miracle that changed everything.
“I Cried Myself to Sleep”
Between 2017 and 2018, Underwood suffered three miscarriages in less than two years. The couple, already parents to son Isaiah, had been longing to expand their family. But with each loss, the emotional toll deepened.
“There were nights I just cried myself to sleep,” Carrie confessed. “I felt broken. I started to think maybe this wasn’t meant to be for us.”
Mike, a former NHL star and devout Christian, stood by her side. But even he admitted that it was difficult to know what to say.
“We were both grieving differently,” he said. “Sometimes silence filled the room more than words ever could.”
A Faint Line of Hope
Then, just as they were preparing to give up, Carrie noticed something she hadn’t seen in months: a faint blue line on a pregnancy test.
“I didn’t even let myself believe it at first,” she said. “But something about it felt… peaceful. Like this one was meant to be.”
That baby became Jacob, their second son, born in early 2019. But Carrie says it was the process of hoping again, praying together, and letting go of fear that truly healed their marriage.
“Isaiah Gave Us More Than We Gave Him”
Still, it was their firstborn, Isaiah, who Carrie credits as the glue that held them together during the darkest days.
“There was one night when he hugged me and said, ‘Mommy, don’t cry. God is fixing it.’ And I just broke,” she recalled.
Mike adds: “Holding Isaiah reminded me that love is still here. That God was still working.”
Today, the couple say they are stronger than ever—because of their pain, not despite it.
