Carrie Underwood & Mike Fisher
Carrie Underwood showed the love at Sunday night’s Academy of Country Music Awards in Las Vegas.
Ottawa Senators centre Mike Fisher and former American Idol singer Carrie Underwood are dating and the love match has apparently been going strong for months.
Ms. Underwood, 25, was at the Sens-Toronto Maple Leafs game Saturday night where the Jumbotron “Hug Cam” at the Air Canada Centre spotted her in a private VIP box hugging two people sitting next to her. Mr. Fisher’s parents and his brother, Bud, also a hockey player, were in the box watching the team go down to the Leafs in a 3-1 battle.
The romance apparently began after Mr. Fisher, 28, went backstage following Ms. Underwood’s March 21 concert at Scotiabank Place where she performed before 7,700 country fans. The couple hit it off, say observers, and then began dating some time after their initial meeting.
The struggling Ottawa Senators are in Buffalo for a game Tuesday night against the Sabres. Reached Monday at practice, Mr. Fisher declined to talk to reporters about his romance with the country singer who is a multi-platinum recording artist and Grammy-award winner.
“I can’t comment on anything in my personal life, so that’s about all I can say. I don’t really want to say anything,” he said.
On New Year’s Eve, Ms. Underwood and Mr. Fisher’s sister dropped into Rinaldo’s swanky digs on George Street for some deluxe pampering and pedicures.
“She was here with Mike Fisher’s sister and the staff took good care of them,” said Pat Rinaldo.
