Pop star Underwood engaged to Senators' Fisher
Carrie Underwood is engaged to Ottawa Senators hockey player Mike
Fisher, her publicist said Monday.
No wedding date has been set for the couple, who have been
dating for about a year.
"The couple couldn't be happier," said publicist Jessie
Schmidt.
Fisher, 29, recorded his 300th career point for the Senators
in their 4-1 win over the Minnesota Wild on Saturday. Fisher had an
assist on Anton Volchenkov's goal in the first period.
Asked by The Associated Press last month what Underwood's
family thought of Fisher, the 26-year-old singer said they were
supportive.
"They love me and I would hope my parents would think we
raised a good, smart girl, so she's going to do the right thing no
matter what it is," she said.
Days before the CMA Awards in early November, Underwood did
not know whether she would be spending the holidays with Fisher.
"Christmas, I don't know. We haven't really thought that far
ahead. We kind of take it one week at a time," she said then.
Underwood has kept her relationship largely under wraps, but
she gave Fisher a very public shout-out in the liner notes of her
current album, "Play On," that was released Nov. 3. She wrote,
"Thank you (No.) 12 (referring to his jersey number.) You are the
most amazing addition to my life! You are such a wonderful person
and have had such an amazing hand in the building of this album and
in the growth of me as a person. I love you so much! You make my
life better in every way!"
