'So I have dealt with this before, but things were going really, really well. And her little heartbeat and her numbers were really good,' Andrews said, her voice quivering. The couple had allowed themselves to hope, even sharing their joy with close colleagues, before it all came crashing down.
The 47-year-old FOX Sports reporter remained committed to her work, even recording the show while grappling with fresh grief. Speaking directly to producer Ryan Musick, she said through tears, '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.'
Erin Andrews has always used her platform to highlight the hidden emotional toll of infertility, IVF, and surrogacy.

She recalled how she and Stoll had experienced loss with their first surrogate before welcoming their son Mack in 2023 through another surrogate.
'We had loss with our first surrogate and luckily with our second one, we had Mack,' she said. That journey, she's made clear, was anything but easy. Andrews was diagnosed with cervical cancer in 2016, and after undergoing two surgeries, she and Stoll decided to freeze embryos in case the cancer returned.
It was a decision shaped by uncertainty, but one that ultimately gave them a path to parenthood.
The miscarriage has understandably shaken her. '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,' Andrews admitted, revealing the inner conflict of needing to be strong while crumbling inside.
What makes her story resonate so deeply is her refusal to hide behind a curated image of perfection.
'I just wanted to be open with people and be like, 'This sucks.' And today, this really does,' she said honestly. She believes that vulnerability helps others feel less alone—just as it once helped her. 'Going through this whole journey, you think you're alone. You're not alone.'
She also acknowledged how difficult the moment was for her husband. 'I know my husband is having a difficult time and I'm going to go home and be with him, and then we're going to throw our little 2-year-old in a pool and I feel like squeezes are going to feel a little different from him today.'
With unwavering grace, Andrews continues to advocate for open conversations around fertility, miscarriage, and mental health. 'If you feel alone and you feel like a failure, I do too, but you're not the only one,' she reminded listeners.
