Carrie Underwood 'likes being hockey wife'

Carrie Underwood has said that she has now happily settled into life as a "hockey wife".

The country singer wed Ottawa Senators centre Mike Fisher at a Georgia resort last summer.

In an interview with Minneapolis's K102 FM radio station, Underwood claimed that she is perfectly content in her new role as an athlete's spouse.

"It is nice being a hockey wife," she said. "Of course now I'm like cleaning the house, buying the groceries... I can spend hours in a grocery store and I'm the happiest person in the universe."

The 'Undo It' musician also suggested that even though both she and Fisher have to travel as part of their careers, they always try to spend quality time with one another.

"We're together a lot more than people think we are… Even if it's just for a day, we get to pop in. We'll make sure we put the extra time and effort to do that," she explained.

Last month, Underwood denied that she and her husband are expecting a child.
