Hey there, friends! So, Carrie Underwood's recent comments about her plans to expand her family have stirred up quite a buzz online. Just as the singer was about to announce her second pregnancy, she shared some heartfelt thoughts with Redbook magazine. Carrie mentioned that at 35 years old, she believes her chances of having a large family might be limited. But don’t worry—she and her husband, Mike Fisher, are already considering adoption when their kids are a bit older. Let’s dive into what’s been said and how people are reacting to it.

What Carrie Really Said About Growing Her Family

Carrie Underwood, known for her powerful voice and warm personality, opened up to Redbook magazine about her family plans. She candidly admitted, "I’m 35, so we may have missed our chance to have a big family. We always talk about adoption and doing it when our child or children are a little older." It was a moment of vulnerability from the star, who is often seen as someone who has it all together. But as soon as these words hit the press, they sparked a flurry of reactions online. Some fans were quick to chime in with their own thoughts, agreeing or disagreeing with Carrie's perspective.

Reactions Pour In From Fans

Not everyone agreed with Carrie’s take on motherhood at this stage in her life. One Twitter user shared, “Seriously Miss Underwood, I was 44 and my wife 42 when child number seven was born. It depends on your health and your desire only.” Another chimed in, saying, “Carrie, you can still have babies at 35… women are having babies later in life than your mother Carol’s generation. They try to establish their careers where mom’s generation a lot of times were happy as housewives. Nowadays, you need two [salaries] to make a ‘go of it’ with children.”

But not all fans were critical. Some actually agreed with Carrie. One Facebook commenter noted, “It is a medical FACT that when a woman reaches 40 she is in the HIGH risk for having a child, I have a daughter-in-law that has just gone through that with her doctor and he has said that with each year it can get worse.” It’s clear that opinions on this topic vary widely, and everyone seems to have their own take on it.

Carrie and Mike's Journey as Parents

For those who might not know, Carrie Underwood and her husband, Mike Fisher, celebrated their love with a wedding in July 2010. Their first child, Isaiah Fisher, was born in February 2015, bringing immense joy to the couple. Fast forward to August 8, 2023, and Carrie excitedly announced via Instagram that she is expecting her second child. In a delightful video message, she gushed, “Mike and Isaiah and I are absolutely over the moon and excited to be adding another little fish to our pond. This has just been a dream come true with [the] album and with baby news and all that stuff. We’re just so excited.”

Carrie has always been open about her desire to grow her family. In past interviews, she’s mentioned, “Oh, definitely! I’m not sure when because we’re both kind of busy these days. But yeah, definitely.” With a sense of humor, she added, “I’m like, ‘[Isaiah is] so good — I could do a few more of those!’” Her enthusiasm for motherhood shines through in every word she shares.
