CARRIE & MIKE’S LOVE FACEOFF!
Marriage teeters as hockey hero tires of playing lapdog
COUNTRY superstar Carrie Underwood’s 12-year marriage to Mike Fisher is on thin ice — because the former hockey stud is tired of being treated like a glorified nanny by his wife, tipsters exclusively tell The National ENQUIRER.
The Before He Cheats singer, 39, is revving up for a 43-date concert tour — her longest ever! But a pal whispers trouble is brewing because the blond beauty wants her hubby to tag along and care for their kids, Isaiah, 7, and Jacob, 3 — when he’d rather pursue his career goal as a National Hockey League coach! “Carrie says she can’t function without her family with her on tour, and she doesn’t want to slough the kids off on a babysitter,” the friend confides.
“But for Mike, when he goes along on Carrie’s tours, it’s a lot of chasing their kids around!” Fisher, 42, hung up his skates in 2018 after a stellar 20-year career — but insiders say he’s raring to return to the sport! “Mike gets a lot of offers to go into coaching. But when he brings it up to Carrie, she says absolutely not,” the friend dishes.
“She reminds him when he was playing, traveling all over North America, they barely saw each other.”
The pal reveals Fisher is frustrated over their onesided marriage!
“He has dreams, too,” adds the friend. “You just feel if the two of them can’t reach a happy medium in their personal and professional lives, their marriage is doomed!”
