(My) ”Shy guy”: Carrie Underwood shares humorously about her first kiss on New Year’s Eve 2008 with Mike after three months of talking on the phone

The country music star took to her Instagram Stories to praise her husband, but the photo she shared certainly made her followers take a second look.

“Ladies, get you a man who will wear a red nose & antlers & allow 3rd graders to throw things at his face,” she wrote alongside crying with laughter and a red heart emoji.

Mike and Carrie have been married since 2010 but she rarely shares photos of him on social media. The couple met in 2008 after being introduced by mutual friend, and Carrie’s bassist, Mark Childers.

After their first encounter backstage following one of Carrie’s concerts, they endured a long-distance romance due to the singer living in Nashville, Tennessee, and former NHL star Mike residing in Canada.

“I mean, can I make dating more difficult?” she recalled on VH1’s Behind the Music. “Let’s get a hockey guy who lives in another country. Awesome.”

After three months of speaking on the phone, Carrie and Mike reunited for their first official date on New Year’s Eve 2008 – which is also when they enjoyed their first kiss.

“It was New Year’s Eve, and it was a team party and I actually invited myself… he moved slow, he moved very slow,” she recalled on The Howard Stern Show earlier this year.

She added: “I was like, ‘You know, New Year’s Eve is coming up, are you doing anything?’ and he said, ‘There’s a team party,’ and I said, ‘Do you need a date?'”

Speaking of the moment they first kissed at the stroke of midnight, Carrie previously told Glamour: “We were in front of people, and he’s not a big PDA guy. I figured, I’ll go in for it because he can’t leave me hanging, right? So, I made him kiss me in public.” 

Mike and Carrie’s relationship moved quickly after that and they became engaged just over one year later, with Mike proposing at Carrie’s parents’ home with a stunning halo-setting ring with pavé diamonds along the sides. The center stone featured a beautiful round-cut yellow diamond and was reported to have cost $150,000.

Speaking about Mike following the birth of Isaiah, Carrie gushed to E! News: “My husband is as wonderful as he is hot, and I feel like that’s rare. He’s amazing.”

She continued. “He’s such a great dad and he’s so supportive of what I do and I’m supportive of him and we just love our little family.”
