Carrie Underwood’s push for a vegetarian family sparks tensions with steak-loving husband Mike Fisher

Carrie Underwood and husband Mike Fisher face dietary tensions as the country star pushes for plant-based meals.

Country superstar Carrie Underwood and her husband, former hockey player Mike Fisher, are reportedly at odds over a long-standing dietary disagreement. Sources close to the couple reveal that Underwood, a devoted vegetarian, is urging Fisher to adopt a plant-based diet, but her meat-loving spouse refuses to budge.

Underwood, 41, has been committed to a vegetarian lifestyle since the age of 13, a choice inspired by witnessing calves being neutered on her family’s farm. Today, she grows her own vegetables, keeps bees on her Tennessee property, and often shares photos of her cooking and canning on social media.

“I think cheesy things are my vice,” Underwood once admitted, describing herself as a “wannabe vegan.” Despite her efforts to lead a plant-forward household, Fisher’s carnivorous preferences have created tension in their otherwise harmonious marriage.

Carrie’s Push for a Plant-Based Household

Underwood has been vocal about her commitment to healthy eating, particularly for their two sons, Isaiah, 9, and Jacob, 5. The singer reportedly encourages her family to embrace more vegetarian meals, but Fisher remains firmly committed to his meat-heavy diet.

“She’s tried to get Mike to eat more salads and meat-alternative foods, but he’s a die-hard meat lover,” an insider shared. “She obsesses over their household dinners and is very particular about what their boys eat. She’d like to steer the whole family toward plant-based meals, but Mike refuses to change.”

The divide has led to moments of frustration for Underwood. According to the insider, “The smell of Mike’s steak searing in the pan makes her nauseated. It’s a real point of contention between them.”

Faith and Family Values Amid the Feud

Despite their differences, the couple shares strong bonds through their faith and family values. Married since 2010, Underwood and Fisher are known for supporting each other’s careers and maintaining a united front as parents.

“They have a lot in common, but this beef over food is a wrench in the wheel,” the source added.

Underwood’s devotion to her lifestyle is evident in her upcoming role as a judge on American Idol, alongside Luke Bryan and Lionel Richie. Balancing a demanding career with family life, she continues to advocate for a healthier, plant-forward diet for her children.

While Fisher’s steadfast love of steak has led to some household tension, the couple’s relationship remains grounded in mutual respect and shared values.
