Congratulations to Carrie Underwood and her husband Mike Fisher. The couple have announced that they are expecting their first baby together. Country music star Carrie, 31, broke the news on 1 May – Labor Day – playing off the aptly titled holiday.
"In honour of 'Labor' Day, Ace & Penny would like to make an announcement. Their parents couldn't be happier," the singer captioned a picture of her two dogs, wearing '
I'm going to be a big brother' and '
I'm going to be a big sister' T-shirts. Carrie and professional hockey player Mike, 34, celebrated their fourth wedding anniversary in July. The couple were married in Greensboro, Georgia in front of more than 250 guests, including Simon Cowell, Faith Hill and Garth Brooks.
The mum-to-be previously told
Selfmagazine that she would love to have two children, adding, "Three is fine. Four? Somebody's getting something done, because we ain't having five!" Carrie shot to fame as the winner of the fourth season of
American Idolin 2005. She has since won six Grammy Awards and sold more than 15 million albums worldwide.
