When Ophra Winfrey visited Underwood’s property in 2012, her dream home hadn’t been built yet, but Underwood did show Winfrey around a charming cabin nestled in the woods.
In the video tour, Underwood led Winfrey up moss-covered wooded stairs into the cabin. She explained that part of the cabin was from the late 1800s. The previous owner had taken that section apart in Kentucky and moved it down to Tennessee where he added it to the existing structure.
Underwood explained to Winfrey that she wanted a weekend retreat away from the city.
How Underwood Met Her Husband
Country Living reports that Underwood’s bass player, Mark Childers, introduced her to Fisher. The pair first met backstage at one of the country singer’s concerts. Underwood texted her friend Childers, “hot, hot, hot” after meeting Fisher.
Underwood and Fisher tied the knot in 2010 in Georgia. The “Before He Cheats” singer told People her secret for not getting too emotional during the wedding ceremony.
“My sister told me if I feel like tearing up, say the Pledge of Allegiance. I must have said it 20 times that night,” Underwood said.
Underwood’s sons, 6-year-old Isaiah and 2-year-old Jacob, were born in 2015 and 2019 respectively. “Our hearts are full, our eyes are tired and our lives are forever changed. Life is good,” Underwood wrote on Instagram after the birth of her second son.
