Carrie Underwood Is Engaged

Carrie Underwood
The country crooner plans to marry her hunky hockey star boyfriend.

Former American Idol and current country queen Carrie Underwood just got engaged—and she does know the guy's last name. It's Fisher, as in Mike Fisher, the Ottawa Senators' hottie center.

The news of the engagement was confirmed yesterday morning, after rumors started on Sunday when a friend of Carrie's family pre-emptively tweeted her congratulations to the happy couple. Some people should just not have Twitter accounts.

According to the Ottawa Sun:

Responding to questions, Fisher said he popped the question to Underwood on Sunday, but declined to offer any other details at this point. 'It’s true,' said Fisher. 'We’re both obviously excited and very happy.' Senators teammate Chris Neil said Fisher called him not long after popping the question. 'I think it’s great. It’s a long time coming. There’s going to be a lot of broken hearts in Ottawa with all those girls who are in love with Mikey,' said Neil.

Most of us had no idea who Mike Fisher was before now, let alone that he was dating Carrie Underwood, but we can tell you that they are both quite lucky. Obviously, Carrie is a gorgeous gal and, from the pics we've seen, Mike is quite the hunka hunka burnin' love. Unfortunately, we weren't able to find a photo of them together, but that just means that they like to keep their relationship out of the spotlight. It's quite refreshing after a year of being bombarded with publicity hound couples like Khloe/Lamar and Heidi/Spencer.
