Prayers are pouring in for Erin Andrews on Thursday.
The Fox Sports NFL sideline reporter welcomed her first child into the world, a son named Mack, with the help of a surrogate in 2023. Andrews and her husband, former NHL player Jarret Stoll, had been trying to get pregnant on their own for years. They struggled with fertility and were open about their path.
Andrews, 47, recently announced some tragic personal news. Her surrogate suffered a miscarriage while pregnant with the sportscaster’s second baby.
The sideline reporter shared the devastating news during an episode of her podcast, Calm Down with Erin and Charissa, on Thursday, May 22.
“We got some real sh—- news today that our surrogate had miscarried. So I have dealt with this before, but things were going really, really well. And her little heartbeat and her numbers were really good — so much so I even told you guys a couple weeks ago because we thought we had such good news,” she said.

“But Ryan, you did such a bang-up job with this podcast today. I’ve been trying really hard to pay attention, I’ve just been tearing up the whole time and trying to stay focused,” Andrews says to her podcast producer Ryan Musick. “But I’m also really really good at suppressing my feelings and work really helps me with that.”
Andrews said that she’s used to the challenges of surrogacy and the ups and downs that come with it.
“Been sitting here thinking about Taylor Swift’s song, ‘I Can Do It with a Broken Heart.’ I’m really good at doing this sh– with a broken heart,” she said.
“But I think I kinda made a promise to myself that when I was really open with how sh—- infertility has been and our journey with two surrogates, because we did lose…we had loss with our first surrogate and then luckily with our second one, we had Mack, that I was just going to be honest with people.”
