At some point, Brad Paisley had them ready: The co-host of US singer Carrie Underwood at the Country Music Association Awards threw several names of boys and girls into the room as the event opened. "Johnny or June? Keith or Nicole Garth or Trisha Tim or Faith George or Tammy Waylon or Willie?"
Then the 35-year-old betrayed the sex of her second child on stage in Nashville: "Willie, it's a Willie." The musician's management confirmed to the US People magazine that she and husband Mike Fisher, 38, were looking for a boy.
The two are married for eight years, son Isaiah Michael is three and a half years old. Underwood is touring with her latest album "Cry Pretty" in May 2019.

"I wish my dad would still live to see that," Urban went on. Kidman was visibly moved and had tears in his eyes.
