Carrie Underwood was thrilled to reveal that her Las Vegas residency, Reflection, would continue into 2024 at the Resorts World Theatre. The 40-year-old “The Champion” singer expressed her delight on Instagram, highlighting how much she and her team enjoy performing for a global audience.
However, her husband, Mike Fisher, didn’t share her enthusiasm. A source close to the couple reported that Fisher, a retired hockey player, prefers to remain at their Tennessee home with their sons Isaiah, age 8, and Jacob, age 4, when Underwood performs in Las Vegas. Fisher, who is described as having traditional values, reportedly supports his wife’s professional endeavors but feels her primary focus should be on her family. He is eager for her return.
Underwood’s Las Vegas performances, which began in December 2021, have seen several additional dates added due to their popularity. Although the run was expected to conclude in December, the schedule has now been extended from March to August. For Fisher, 43, this raises the possibility that even more dates might be added, which seems to unsettle him.
The country star’s busy schedule hasn’t been limited to her Vegas show. She’s been on the move with her 43-city The Denim & Rhinestones Tour, which wrapped up in March, and also joined the summer concert lineup for Guns N’ Roses. It’s understood that Underwood did discuss her continued commitment to Las Vegas with Fisher, and it led to some disagreement, with Fisher not anticipating her desire to prolong her stay.
Despite her significant net worth of $140 million, financial necessity doesn’t appear to be a driving factor for Underwood’s decisions. She’s openly expressed how much she misses her husband and children while in Nevada. She even confessed to her Instagram audience that she yearned for their company. According to the source, while Underwood loves her family, she also values her independence, enjoying the friendships and separate life she has established in Las Vegas.
Fisher’s patience has been wearing thin with the ongoing absence of his wife, the source says. Not pleased with assuming the role of primary caregiver and frustrated by Underwood’s absence from family occasions, Fisher is feeling the strain on their relationship. Nonetheless, the source suggests that despite these challenges, the couple is expected to work through their issues.
