Erin Andrews Reveals Her Surrogate Had a Miscarriage With Baby No. 2: It ‘Really Sucks'
'We got some real s--tty news today that our surrogate had miscarried," Erin, 47, told cohost Charissa Thompson on the Thursday, May 22, episode of their podcast "Calm Down with Erin and Charissa."
The NFL sideline reporter revealed she and Jarret, 42, had been expecting a baby girl.
"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,' Erin continued, revealing she had told Charissa, 43, and podcast producer Ryan Musick, even though she hadn't made the pregnancy news public yet.
"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," she told her colleague. "But I'm also really, really good at suppressing my feelings and work really helps me with that."
Since the miscarriage news was still so fresh, Erin revealed that Ryan offered to push back the podcast taping to let her deal with the grief, but she decided to push forward.
"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--t with a broken heart," the fan of the pop superstar confessed.
The 2025 Super Bowl reporter discussed how the surrogate she and Jarret used to welcome son Mack, 23 months, in June 2023, also suffered a pregnancy loss. Erin previously shared how the couple had been expecting twins at the time.
"But I think I kinda made a promise to myself that when I was really open with how s--tty 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," Erin said of sharing the news about her latest loss.
The Lewiston, Maine, native has been open about her infertility struggles in the past, revealing how she went through nine rounds of IVF before turning to surrogacy.
"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," she explained. "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."
"I just wanted to be open with people and be like, 'This sucks.' And today, this really does. It makes you really realize 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," Erin shared.
"We'll be good. I was saying to Jarret today ... this is like the hardest part," she added. "But I just didn't want to be back here in the loss column."
Erin and Jarret married in June 2017 after nearly five years of dating. The retired NHL player was by her side as she successfully battled cervical cancer in 2016. Erin froze her embryos for future use prior to undergoing two surgeries and was declared cancer-free in November 2016.

Jessica Simpson Seems to Detail the Demise of Marriage to Ex-Husband Eric Johnson in New Song Lyrics
Jessica Simpson is seemingly hinting at the demise of her marriage to Eric Johnson in a new song. On Tuesday, July 22, the star shared her latest single "Fade" — her first single since the release of Nashville Canyon, Pt. 1, her first EP in 15 years — which appears to be a nod to the end of her marriage to the former NFL player, 45. "You can always say you love me / That doesn't mean that I feel loved / There's a green light in the distance / And all your words become too much / Well I won't repeat this history / The kind I've seen times before / Here's the part, I should say I miss you / But I think you'll miss me more," she croons on the soulful rock track. Simpson, 45, later notes that her lover is "as empty as your promise" and tells them to "go sleep alone in the bed you made." The "Breadcrumbs" artist later notes that she wants her heart "to feel held safe." "I know that home is a feeling / And not a place / Oh, there won't be a next time / Cause I won't break," Simpson sings. On July 23, Simpson performed "Fade" — along with several new and old songs over the course of four hours — as a part of the Today show's Citi Concert Series. 'How does it feel back on the stage, the first release in 15 years?' NBC correspondent Peter Alexander asked the fashion designer on stage. 'It's insane. And of course I had a malfunction here and everywhere, but it's okay,' said Simpson, who donned a pink corset dress with feathered fringe skirt and a silver sparkly jacket. 'I think my boobs stayed in, so it's okay.' One week prior to the release of "Fade," Simpson teased the track on Instagram. "I was in a rough place when the day came around for this writing session, however I was not going to crawl under my sheets, hide, and cry," she captioned the post. "Instead, I chose to rise and shine. It immediately encouraged confrontation to heal a layer of pain. You can pre-save #FADE now using the link in bio, OUT 7/22!" In January, Simpson and Johnson announced their separation. "Eric and I have been living separately navigating a painful situation in our marriage," she told PEOPLE in a statement at the time. In November 2024, Johnson was spotted without his wedding ring, and a source told PEOPLE that the couple "very much live separate lives." The former couple initially met in 2010 and tied the knot in 2014. They've since welcomed three children: Maxwell Drew, 13, Birdie Mae, 5, and Ace Knute, 12. Read the original article on People

Cleveland Browns Unveil New Helmet For 2025 Season
Cleveland Browns Unveil New Helmet For 2025 Season originally appeared on The Spun. The NFL ending its one shell rule has opened up the floodgates for throwback and alternate helmets to return across the league — and the Cleveland Browns are the latest to join in on the fun. On Wednesday, the Browns unveiled matte brown helmets to go with the team's all-brown look that it adopted full-time after the NFL discontinued its Color Rush promotion in 2018. The brown lids also feature brown facemasks and the franchise's classic helmet stripe (which is an inversion of the one used on its white alternates). Fans reacted to the new helmets on X. "Calling yourself the Browns, wearing brown uniforms, while sponsored by Dude Wipes is quite something," a user pointed out. "i f—s with these heavy," another replied. "what creative and branding people greenlit this disaster?" a fan asked. "They made the all-brown uni's sponsored by WHOMST?" "The s—t stain of the NFL. 😂" another person laughed. "The color rush uni's deserve to be worn more. I'm a fan," another user commented. "Elite. 🔥 Debate a wall," Nick Karns posted. "NO DUDEWIPES CLEANING UP THAT MUCH [EXPLETIVE] LMFAOOOOO," another fan cried. "Maybe I wouldn't get dude wipes to sponsor by campaign promoting something tough and brown, but that's just me," Matt Brown said. The Browns were far from the only team to reveal a new look this week. The Buffalo Bills also announced that they'll be bringing back their iconic red helmets in Week Browns Unveil New Helmet For 2025 Season first appeared on The Spun on Jul 23, 2025 This story was originally reported by The Spun on Jul 23, 2025, where it first appeared.

Josh Allen, Bills welcome being under the 'Hard Knocks' spotlight in opening training camp
PITTSFORD, N.Y. (AP) — Josh Allen was reminded how much additional scrutiny the Buffalo Bills are under this summer upon reaching the interview tent and noticing the HBO series 'Hard Knocks' camera crew ready to start filming. 'You guys are everywhere,' the quarterback said with a smile as the Bills opened training camp in suburban Rochester, New York, on Wednesday. No stranger to the spotlight, the reigning NFL MVP, who married Hollywood star Hailee Steinfeld in May and signed one of the league's richest contracts in March, joked being mindful of his language while being mic'd up during the 90-minute practice. 'Yeah, I tried not to cuss as much,' Allen said. 'Just making sure that anything that I say my mom would be OK with.' Allen's trying to keep things rated PG. And the Bills are welcoming the opportunity to pull back the curtain and reveal whatever the cameras might capture — warts and all — as insight into what's allowed the franchise to flourish entering its ninth season under coach Sean McDermott and GM Brandon Beane. 'We have nothing to hide. We are who we are,' said McDermott, who ended the team's 17-season playoff drought in his first year in 2017, and guided Buffalo to six consecutive playoff appearances and win five straight AFC East titles. Just don't call the Bills' five-week 'Hard Knocks' series run opening on Aug. 5 a distraction. 'The increased noise, if you will, is maybe in some ways good practice for us to really hone in and get our focus where it needs to be,' McDermott said. The series trailer HBO released Wednesday shows a confident, determined team with a clip of Allen saying: 'We're going to do whatever we can do bring a Lombardi back here to western New York.' Playoff shortcomings Successful as the Bills have been in posting double-digit wins in each of their past six seasons, they've come up short in the playoffs and usually against the Chiefs. Four of Buffalo's past five playoff losses have been against Kansas City, including a 32-29 loss in the AFC championship game in January. 'Ultimately, you got to go out and do it,' Beane said, before noting how Allen and other Bills veterans can build on their experiences. 'I'm a firm believer that you keep swinging the sword, you keep fighting, you do not give in, you work harder and you use that frustration.' Though once again favored to win the AFC East, the Bills enter camp with several subplots beginning with starting running back James Cook's desire to land a contract extension while entering the final year of his deal. Cook's contract After skipping the Bills voluntary spring sessions, Cook explained his reasoning for participating in the team's mandatory sessions last month by saying: 'I like my money. That's why I'm here.' Beane on Wednesday provided no update on contract talks, reiterated how he doesn't have the salary cap space to fit Cook's asking price of $15 million per season, and credited the player for reporting for camp. 'James is a competitive dude. He's a stud. He is a great teammate. He wants to be here,' Beane said of the NFL's co-leader last season with 16 touchdowns rushing. 'James fits Buffalo. But sometimes you can't get on the same page.' Injury updates On the injury front, defensive end Joey Bosa resumed practicing after the off-injured free-agent addition missed the spring sessions with a calf issue. The 30-year-old is coming off three injury-shortened seasons, in which he combined for 14 of his 72 sacks over 28 games with the Chargers. Buffalo signed Bosa to a one-year $12.6 million contract in March in a bid to fill the pass-rushing role after Von Miller was cut. Meantime, the Bills opened camp with tight end Dawson Knox (hamstring) on the non-football injury list and starting right tackle Spencer Brown (back) on the physically unable to perform list. Beane didn't provide a timeline in saying both should be cleared for practice sooner than later. While the Bills offense returns mostly intact, the defense has been retooled. Aside from Bosa, Buffalo revamped its defensive front with the free-agent signings of Larry Ogunjobi and Michael Hoecht — both expected to miss the first six games serving suspensions for violating the NFL's performance-enhancing drugs policy. Cornerback Tre'Davious White is back for an eighth season in Buffalo after splitting last year between the Rams and Ravens. And the Bills will rely on several rookies to make immediate contributions from a draft class that included cornerback Maxwell Hairston, defensive tackle T.J. Sanders and defensive end Landon Jackson. Remembering Rex Long snapper Reid Ferguson is Buffalo's lone active player to precede McDermott, having signed in 2016 during Rex Ryan's second and final season. Reflecting back, Ferguson laughed at how different a 'Hard Knocks' series might have been during Ryan's tenure when the colorful coach once munched on dog biscuits during a promotional appearance at camp. Things are different under McDermott, Ferguson said. 'We're not actively trying to not give them drama, not that there's a ton that goes on in the first place,' Ferguson said. 'We're trying to use it as a way to show the Bills in a positive light that I think people have seen us in for the last handful of years.' ___ AP NFL:
