Prayers Pouring In For Erin Andrews On Thursday
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."
Prayers are pouring in for her.
"Praying for you," one fan wrote.
"If you read the sentence 'Erin Andrews' surrogate has experienced a miscarriage' and you don't feel like throwing up, I'm sorry you're lost," one fan added.
"Just tragic," one fan added.
Our thoughts are with her friends and family members during this tough time.

Minnesota Wild re-sign veteran Marcus Johansson to 1-year, $800,000 contract to avoid free agency
The Minnesota Wild re-signed right wing Marcus Johansson on Monday to a one-year, $800,000 contract that keeps the 15-year veteran from becoming a free agent. Johansson had 11 goals and 23 assists in 72 games for the Wild during the 2024-25 regular season, bouncing between the second and third lines. He was sixth on the team in points. The 34-year-old, who was acquired by the Wild from Washington a few days before the NHL trade deadline in 2023, played the 2024-25 season on a $2 million salary cap charge. Johansson had four goals and four assists in nine games for Sweden last month at the ice hockey world championships to help his native country's team win the bronze medal. He has 185 goals and 332 assists over 983 career regular-season games with seven teams in the NHL.

David Andrews 'wanted to finish' his career in New England and accomplished that
Longtime New England Patriots center David Andrews is retiring from the NFL. The Patriots said that Andrews, who spent all 10 of his seasons with the team before he was released in March, will retire at a news conference on Monday. "I didn't want to go do it for another organization," an emotional Andrews said during his retirement ceremony at Gillette Stadium on Monday. "That wasn't what I had in mind to finish my career. I wanted to finish it here, and I did." An undrafted free agent from Georgia, Andrews started 121 of 124 regular-season games he played in and also played in 12 playoff games. He also played in three Super Bowls, winning two, and was the last remaining offensive starter from the Patriots' 2018 championship team. Andrews, 32, missed the entire 2019 season after blood clots were found in his lungs. He also had his 2024 season cut short after a shoulder injury that required season-ending surgery. After Andrews' injury, Ben Brown started 10 games at center. But, the Patriots went out and acquired veteran Garrett Bradbury to start at center ahead of the 2025 season.
