Carrie Underwood is reportedly missing her family amid American Idol gig.

According to the latest report of Life & Style, “She’s on the road a lot. She’s missing her kids and Mike, which is very tough.”

Even though “they FaceTime day and night and she flies home every spare moment she gets, she has not been able to connect with them “as just being there,” claimed a source.

However, the source confirmed that the songbird is “nowhere near throwing in the towel” on her gig as “she loves doing the show.”

“Not only is it a huge opportunity and a massive paycheck, it’s also really fun,” the source continued.

The insider even mentioned, “She loves working with the guys and the whole crew has been so great. Her biggest joy is helping the contestants through a really bewildering experience.”

Moreover, the source claimed that Carrie considers the talent show “really beautiful because she’s able to connect with so many people and know exactly what they’re going through,” according to the insider.

“At the end of the shoot day, she’s always totally drained from the highs and lows and just goes back to her hotel room to crash,” they continued.

The source concluded, “Those nights can be very hard because she just wants to be in Mike’s arms or reading bedtime stories to her kids and instead all she can do is see them through a phone screen.”
