Erin Andrews Shares Tragic Update On Second Child

Erin Andrews is opening up about a heartbreaking turn in her journey to expand her family.

The sideline reporter has been candid about her fertility struggles in the past.

In fact, Erin Andrews and her husband, Jarret Stoll, who is a former NHL star, spent nearly a decade trying to conceive and endured multiple rounds of IVF before welcoming their son, Mack, via surrogate in June 2023.

The 47-year-old "Fox Sports" broadcaster revealed on the latest episode of her "Calm Down With Erin and Charissa" podcast that her surrogate has suffered a miscarriage, news she received just hours before recording.

“I have dealt with this before, but things were going really, really well,” Andrews said, adding that the pregnancy had appeared healthy, with a strong heartbeat and promising numbers. She had even begun sharing the news with those close to her, including podcast producer Ryan Musick.

“We thought we had such good news,” she said of herself and Stoll.

While Andrews said she's “really good at suppressing [her] feelings, and work helps with that,” she admitted to breaking down in tears and struggling to stay focused after hearing the devastating update. She likened the experience to lyrics from Taylor Swift’s "I Can Do It With a Broken Heart," noting, “I’m really good at doing this sh-t with a broken heart.”

In her signature honesty, Andrews told listeners, “I just wanted to be open with people and be like, ‘This sucks.’ And today, this really does.”

In August 2021, Erin Andrews revealed she had undergone seven rounds of IVF, calling the process "emotionally draining."

“For those familiar, you know it’s a time-consuming and emotionally draining process,” she said on her blog at the time. “This is my 7th one, and I’ve been going through these treatments since I was 35 years old.”

“I have been trying to do IVF treatment for a while now, but sometimes it doesn’t go the way you want it,” she added. “Every cycle is different in a woman’s body, so some months are better than others.”

Andrews went on to explain how she often feels torn between pursuing her career and her desire to grow her family.

“I work in an industry where I think women feel the need to keep things like this quiet," she told her readers. "But no, there are so many other women who maybe put their careers on the back burner because they don’t want to miss out on any opportunities."

The sideline reporter added, "It’s so common that people are starting families late and put so many other aspects of their lives on hold.”

Erin Andrews and Jarret Stoll tied the knot in June 2017, less than a year after Andrews faced a life-altering health scare.

In September 2016, the NFL sideline reporter was diagnosed with cervical cancer, a moment that added urgency and clarity to her fertility journey.

Speaking to Health magazine just weeks after their wedding, Andrews expressed her gratitude for having undergone IVF treatments prior to receiving her diagnosis. “Instead of being embarrassed about it, look at how incredible it is that we had an oncologist say to us, ‘There is an option,’ in case [the cancer] comes back,” she shared at the time. “We don’t know what the future entails.”

It looks like Erin Andrews and Jarret Stoll have a little athlete in the making. Their son Mack, who turns 2 in June 2025, is already lacing up his first pair of hockey skates, and according to his mom, he’s off to an impressive start.

During a guest hosting appearance on "TODAY with Jenna & Friends" in May 2025, the sports personality proudly shared that Mack has taken a serious interest in sports, particularly hockey, unsurprising given his NHL-star dad.

“The big thing in our house right now is getting my son, Mack, almost 2, to walk in hockey skates,” Andrews said. “Because when we get him on the ice, he’s already got the balance.”

With a laugh, the proud mom added, “Can’t hold a spoon, but my man can hold it up on the skates! Whew!”
