“I’m 35, so we may have missed our chance to have a big family,” the American Idol alum told Redbook’s September issue. “We always talk about adoption and about doing it when our child or children are a little older.”

The comments came rolling in on Facebook. “I’m 38 and just had a baby . . . she’s being ridiculous,” wrote one woman. Added another: “You do know that everyone’s body is different, right?”

A third fan revealed her 20-year-old sister is struggling to conceive, while her mother-in-law became pregnant at 41 with no difficulty. 

Meanwhile, back in April 2017, Underwood joked that Isaiah enjoys having his parents all to himself. “If a dog climbs up on my lap, I feel like he gets a little jealous!” she quipped to Entertainment Tonight at the time.

Underwood and Fisher, 38, were introduced by her bass player Mark Childers at one of her concerts in 2008. During a Behind the Music special in 2012, the former ice hockey player gushed of meeting his future wife, “First time I saw her, she was more beautiful person than on TV.” A smitten Underwood texted Childers: “Hot, hot, hot.” The couple became engaged in 2009 and tied the knot in Greensboro, Georgia, in July 2010.
