Carrie Underwood And Hockey Player Mike Fisher Are Engaged!

By Cara Alwill

Tis the season for love. Along with Kevin Jonas and Danielle Deleasa and John Krasinski and Emily Blunt, Carrie Underwood, 26, and her hockey player hunk Mike Fisher, 29, can now add themselves to the list of celebrities who rang wedding bells in 2009. We can confirm that the duo are now engaged (check out Carrie's ring)! "I’m happy to confirm that Carrie Underwood is engaged to Mike Fisher, and the couple couldn’t be happier," said a statement from Carrie's rep. "No wedding date has been set at this time."

According to the Ottawa Sun, Mike, who is centre for the Ottawa Senators, popped the question this weekend, and Carrie happily accepted the proposal. "It's true," he told the newspaper of the engagement suspicions. "We're both obviously excited and very happy."

Apparently a family friend spilled the beans on his Twitter page last night, congratulating the couple on their engagement. It seems like everyone is thrilled for the pair. Mike's ice hockey teammate, Chris Neil, told the newspaper, "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."

Carrie, who also dated Jessica Simpson's ex, Tony Romo, included a thank you note to her now-finance in the insert in her album, Play On. "Thank you #12," she wrotes about Mike, referring to his jersey number. "You are the most amazing addition to my life! You are such a wonderful person and have had such an amazing hand in the building of this album and in the growth of me as a person. I love you so much! You make my life better in every way! I thank God for you every day. ... xoxo, Carrie."

The couple has been dating for about a year, but has chosen to keep a low profile on their romance. Seems like the cat’s out of the bag now! Congrats to Carrie and Mike!
