Prayers 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.

Oilers' Connor McDavid gets shorter-term, $16 million per year contract update
Connor McDavid is entering the final year of his contract with the Edmonton Oilers. The NHL world doesn't seem to have any doubt that a new deal will get done. All the questions have to do with what it'll look like. How much money will McDavid get per year? And how many years will he choose to sign for. He can take the eight-year route and just be set. Or he can go with a shorter deal that allows him to sign another big-money contract sooner. NHL insider Frank Seravelli provided his thoughts on the matter in a question-and-answer session on Tuesday. In summary, Seravelli thinks McDavid will go for a four-year deal for at least $16 million per year. Here's Seravelli's entire answer: If I were looking at the Connor McDavid situation, as best I can handicap it at this point in time, my guess is that it's not going to be an eight-year deal. It'll be less than that, probably four. Somewhere between $16 and $17.5 million in AAV. Those are just ballparks. That's the best I can glean at this moment in time. Not even really confident in saying completely that it's gonna be a four-year deal. I think it makes sense to just get eight and just be done with it. If you're Connor McDavid, the last thing you want to do is go through this again. He has so much leverage and control that if he decides after four years or three years or whatever that the Edmonton Oilers aren't getting it done and he's not gonna have a chance to win there, the best player in the world raises his hand and says, "I want out," they're gonna have no choice but to make it happen. I don't think signing a shorter-term deal lights a fire under Edmonton any quicker than anything else. That's a lot of good insight. McDavid certainly is in the driver's seat here. Edmonton pretty much has to do what its generational superstar wants. Most of all, McDavid surely wants a Stanley Cup after coming so close the past couple seasons. He'll likely take a contract route that leads on the best path toward the Cup. MORE: Lakers' Bronny James reveals ongoing health issue that stems from cardiac arrest, heart defect

Blackhawks Big Defenseman Should Only Get Better
Chicago Blackhawks defenseman Alex Vlasic cemented himself a full-time spot on the Original Six club's NHL roster during the 2023-24 season. In 76 games with the Blackhawks that season, the 6-foot-6 blueliner recorded two goals, 14 assists, 16 points, and 56 hits. Overall, the 2019 second-round pick certainly demonstrated that he has the ability to be a solid defensive defenseman at the NHL level.
