When Carrie Underwood isn’t performing on stage or prepping to be the new judge on “American Idol,” she spends her time raising her two sons with husband Mike Fisher.
The country music singer and Fisher, a former professional hockey player, are proud parents to 9-year-old Isaiah Michael Fisher and almost 6-year-old Jacob Bryan Fisher, or Jake as his family calls him.
Underwood and Fisher tied the knot in 2010 after meeting in 2008 backstage at one of her concerts and will occasionally share photos of their home life as a family of four on their farm. Both have uploaded photos over the years of fishing and hunting trips with Isaiah and Jacob as well as special birthday celebrations.
In March 2023, the “Cowboy Casanova” singer melted fans’ hearts when she shared screenshots of the sweet handwritten cards her sons made to celebrate her 40th birthday.
The boys each wrote what they most loved about their mom to honor her milestone day. Things Jake loves about Underwood included “When she kisses me, how much she loves me, she’s beautiful, she snuggles” and “when she dresses up. I like her dress.”
As for Isaiah, he wrote adorably, “I love her snugles, I love her kissis, I love her singing and most of ALL I Love her.”
Read on to learn more about Underwood and Fisher’s family.
Isaiah Michael Fisher, 8
Underwood and Fisher welcomed their first child, son Isaiah Michael Fisher, on Feb. 27, 2015.
The “Before He Cheats” singer announced baby Isaiah’s arrival on Instagram about a week after his birth. “Tiny hands and tiny feet…God has blessed us with an amazing gift! Isaiah Michael Fisher — born on February 27,” she captioned a shot of his small hand. “Welcome to the world, sweet angel.”
By age 6, Isaiah had begun to follow in his dad’s athletic footsteps when he made his debut as a baseball player.
Underwood shared several pics from Isaiah’s first game on Instagram, writing, “I got more nervous watching him than I used to get when I watched his daddy play hockey! #ProudMom #KidCanHit.”
In 2022, Isaiah celebrated his 7th birthday with a “Star Wars” birthday party.
“My firstborn turned 7 today,” Underwood captioned a collection of party pics on Instagram. “How is that even possible? It has been so much fun to see this little dude grow! He has the biggest heart and the brightest smile.”
She went on to describe Isaiah as “an old soul with a vintage style…wise beyond his years,” and shared that Isaiah opted to donate money to a charity on his special day.
“I am so blessed to be his mom and I can’t wait to see where God leads him in the years to come. Happy birthday, monkey! We love you!” she wrote.
During a visit to TODAY in October 2022, Underwood revealed that Isaiah had begun to understand that his mom was a famous singer. “He’ll go to school and someone will be like, ‘I saw your mom on TV last night,’” she told Sheinelle Jones. “He’s just becoming more aware that his mom does something that’s not normal.”
The former “American Idol” champ also told Sheinelle that Isaiah and his little brother would be joining her on her “Denim & Rhinestones Tour,” which kicked off that month.
“They’ll be out to visit. This tour, I’m going home a lot more than I ever have before,” she said.
Underwood sons ended up attending the first concert of the tour in Greenville, South Carolina — where baby Jacob fell asleep.
“My sweet boys came to see their mommy’s first show! Jakey caught a few songs, at least, before he drifted off to dream land…” Underwood wrote on an Instagram video of her sons at the concert.
In February 2024, Isaiah turned 9 years old and his mom revealed another one of his interests. A few days after his birthday, Underwood uploaded a series of photos of Isaiah’s special Taekwondo—themed cake that had a martial artist kicking his leg on top.
Jacob Bryan Fisher, 5
Underwood and Fisher’s younger son, Jacob, arrived on Jan. 21, 2019. The singer announced the happy news with several pics of the newborn on Instagram.
In her post, Underwood, who opened up the year before about suffering several miscarriages while trying to get pregnant again, called baby Jake her “little miracle.”
“Jacob Bryan Fisher entered the world in the wee hours of the morning on Monday…his mom, dad and big brother couldn’t be happier for God to trust them with taking care of this little miracle,” she wrote. “Our hearts are full, our eyes are tired and our lives are forever changed. Life is good…”
Underwood wished Jake a happy first birthday in 2020.
“Happy birthday, Jacob! How are you already 1 year old? You are smiley, crazy, smart, soooo fast and into everything! And, apparently, you love cake!” the singer captioned a photo of Jake cramming a piece of cake into his mouth.
“I can’t wait to see your personality continue to shine! I have a good feeling you’re going to keep us all on our toes for years to come!” she continued. “I thank God for you each and every day. You are truly our miracle baby!!! Mommy loves you!”
She honored her youngest on his 2nd birthday by letting him know how she and Fisher “longed” for his arrival.
“Jacob, we longed for you. We prayed for you. We walked a long, hard road in order to one day hold you,” the singer wrote next to a baby photo she shared on Instagram.
“Today you are two. You are silly and strong. You love to play and sing and follow your big brother around. You are loved. You are cherished. You are an incredible blessing from God. Happy birthday, sweet boy!”
It looks like Jacob is already taking after his dad, who previously played for the Ottawa Senators and Nashville Predators.
Underwood posted a collection of cute videos on Instagram in January 2024 that showed Jacob celebrating his 5th birthday while playing hockey on the family’s frozen pond.
In the pics, Jacob wears full hockey regalia, including ice skates, gloves and a helmet with a face guard. Underwood also included a photo of her little boy’s birthday cake shaped in the form of the panda from “Dude Perfect.”
“A special birthday for a special 5 year old!!! Our pond was frozen over in perfect condition for a night skate! What a treat!!! Happy birthday, Jake! I know you wouldn’t have wanted it any other way!” the singer captioned her post.
She added several hashtags, including #blessed and #DudePerfect.
In June 2024, Jacob joined his mom for a fun day at the Six Flags Magic Mountain amusement park in Valencia, California.
Underwood shared one photo on Instagram of Jacob walking around the park and another one of him playing a carnival game.
“Took the little man to @sixflagsmagicmountain today for some Mom/Jake time!” she wrote in the caption. “We rode rides, played games, got soaked, ate sooooo much ice cream and candy, bought random souvenirs and had the best day!”
The mom said she still couldn’t believe how quickly her youngest is growing up.
