'Broken heart': Fans send prayers as Erin Andrews reveals emotional setback in her surrogacy journey during podcast episode
Erin Andrews
, one of the most recognized faces on NFL sidelines, has shared heartbreaking news with her fans and listeners. The veteran Fox Sports reporter revealed during a recent episode of her podcast, Calm Down with Erin and Charissa, that the surrogate carrying her second child has suffered a miscarriage.
Erin Andrews opens up about heartbreaking miscarriage of surrogate during second pregnancy journey
This emotional disclosure came just months after Erin Andrews and her husband, former NHL star Jarret Stoll, celebrated the birth of their first child, Mack, via surrogacy in 2023. Their parenthood journey has been anything but smooth, marked by fertility struggles, medical challenges, and now, another devastating setback.
Speaking with honesty and vulnerability, Andrews didn't hold back. 'We got some real sh---- news today that our surrogate had miscarried,' she told her listeners.
'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.'

Andrews, 47, fought through emotion during the podcast, admitting that work had become a way to keep herself centered through pain. 'I've just been tearing up the whole time and trying to stay focused,' she told producer Ryan Musick.
'But I'm also really really good at suppressing my feelings and work really helps me with that.'
A journey marked by loss and courage
This isn't the couple's first experience with loss during the surrogacy process. Erin candidly mentioned that their first surrogate also experienced a pregnancy loss before their successful journey with Mack. Despite the heartbreak, Andrews made it clear that her openness is intentional.
"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.'

Warriors! KL Rahul's powerful post for two gutsy players goes viral
KL Rahul (Getty Images) NEW DELHI: India's stylish opener KL Rahul shared a heartwarming tribute on Instagram for close friend Rishabh Pant and England's veteran pacer Chris Woakes , applauding both for redefining the standards of the game through their remarkable commitment and willingness to battle through pain for their countries. Rahul posted a collage featuring Pant and Woakes bravely stepping up to bat in critical moments and captioned it: "Warriors. Defining courage and love for this sport." India vs England Day 5: Can India do the UNTHINKABLE at The Oval? Four wickets and 2-2! Go Beyond The Boundary with our YouTube channel. SUBSCRIBE NOW! Pant, India's vice-captain, shrugged off a finger injury concern from the third Test and walked in to bat under overcast skies in Manchester during the fourth Test. In the 68th over on Day 1, he attempted a reverse sweep off Chris Woakes and took a painful blow to the foot. His foot swelled instantly, and blood was visible as he removed his boot. Clearly in agony, Pant retired hurt on 37 off 54 balls and had to leave the field on a golf buggy. But on Day 2, with India struggling at 314/6, Pant stunned everyone. With a heavily bandaged foot, the southpaw returned to bat, drawing a loud ovation from the Old Trafford crowd. He kissed the ground, soaked in the atmosphere, and soon began entertaining with his trademark flair. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Is this legal?

He injured his left shoulder on Day 1 while diving to stop a boundary. Three days later, with England just 17 runs away from chasing down 374 and down to their last wicket, Woakes emerged from the dressing room with his left arm in a sling, tucked under his jumper, to join Gus Atkinson at the crease. Though he didn't face a ball, Woakes ran between the wickets in visible pain, grimacing with each effort. His brave stand ended when Mohammed Siraj bowled Atkinson, sealing India's dramatic six-run win. Catch Rani Rampal's inspiring story on Game On, Episode 4. Watch Here!
