Erin Andrews’ surrogate has suffered a miscarriage
The 47-year-old broadcaster hadn’t publicly revealed she and husband Jarret Stoll were expecting a sibling for two-year-old son Mack but felt compelled to speak out about the tragic news because she wants to be “honest” with people.
Speaking on her ‘Calm Down with Erin and Charissa’ podcast on Thursday (22.05.25), she said: “We got some real s***** 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. “
Speaking to producer Ryan Musick, she added: “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.
“But I’m also really really good at suppressing my feelings and work really helps me with that.
“Been sitting here thinking about Taylor Swift’s song, ‘I Can Do It with a Broken Heart.’ I’m really good at doing this s*** with a broken heart.”
Erin noted Ryan had offered to postpone the podcast recording if she didn’t feel up to it, but she felt it was important to keep going.
She said: “I think I kinda made a promise to myself that when I was really open with how s***** 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.
“But like I said when I was first dealing with all these infertility issues and loss that I just wanted to let other people know that we’re dealing with them that I get it and I understand. And I’m going to do that again.
“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.”
Erin thinks she is currently going through the “hardest part” of the journey but will be “good” again eventually.
She said: “I just wanted to be open with people and be like, ‘This sucks.’ And today, this really does. It makes you really realise when I have my little boy, and today he was throwing a fit royale with us, it’s like, you know what? It doesn’t matter.
“We’ll be good. I was saying to Jarret today…this is like the hardest part.
“But I just didn’t want to be back here in the loss column.”
