Carrie Underwood’s publicist has confirmed she is engaged to professional hockey player Mike Fisher, adding that "the couple couldn't be happier."
29-year-old Fisher popped the question in front of family and close friends, according to The Tennessean. The Ottawa Citizen caught Fisher on the ice on Monday ahead of a hockey game in Ottawa, where he confirmed the engagement: "It's true," said the Ottawa Senators player. "We're both obviously excited and very happy and so, exciting times for sure."
Asked by The Associated Press last month what her family thought of Fisher, the singer, 26, 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.
Carrie wrote of her fondness for Fisher in the liner notes of her current release, Play On. 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!"
No date for the wedding has been set.
Carrie also was just awarded Top Country Album of the Decade by Billboard magazine.
