Erin Andrews recently shared some heartbreaking news about her surrogate. On her podcast, “Calm Down,” the Fox Sports reporter revealed that the surrogate suffered a miscarriage. The emotional announcement came as a shock, especially since Andrews and her husband, Jarret Stoll, were hopeful about their second child after welcoming their son, Mack, via surrogate earlier this year.
Speaking through tears, Andrews explained that they had received positive updates about the pregnancy, including a strong heartbeat. She had even shared good news with her listeners just weeks prior. “We got some real sh—y news today that our surrogate had miscarried,” she said, recalling how she had experienced similar loss before.
During the podcast, Andrews expressed her struggle to manage her emotions while recording the episode. She acknowledged that work often helps her suppress her feelings but also realized that she needs to confront her grief more openly this time. Reflecting on her past experiences with loss, she mentioned the importance of being honest about her journey with infertility.
Andrews has been candid about her struggles with infertility and the challenges of using surrogates. She emphasized that many people face similar heartaches, and she wants to ensure that others do not feel alone in their struggles. “This really, really sucks but so many people are dealing with it, so if you feel alone and you feel like a failure, I do too, but you’re not the only one,” she said.
The couple, who married in 2017, is now focused on supporting each other through this difficult time. Andrews plans to spend time with Stoll and their two-year-old son, Mack, as they navigate their feelings together.
