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.

Travis Kelce showed up to Chiefs camp with a dramatically different haircut
Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce has gone through numerous hair eras during his career. Last season, he grew his hair out (at Taylor Swift's urging, according to Patrick Mahomes). And he showed up to the first days of Chiefs training camp this week with even longer hair. That changed on Sunday, though. It looks like the fade is back for the future Hall of Famer. When the Chiefs took the field for Sunday's practice session, fans noticed that Kelce ditched the long hair in favor of the haircut he went with in the 2023 season. Yes, the long hair is officially gone. The fade worked out well for Kelce in 2023, so it makes sense.

Commanders to induct legendary wide receiver Santana Moss into Ring of Fame
A big surprise for Tana to end today's live show 💛 Before Terry McLaurin in Washington, there was Santana Moss. Criminally underrated, model citizen, beloved by teammates, coaches, and fans, not a diva, and never having sustained quality quarterback play. Now, the team is honoring Moss. Moss, who works for the team's broadcast crew, was surprised by fellow broadcast partner and team legend Brian Mitchell. During Washington's Week 1 game against the New York Giants, the Commanders will induct Moss into the franchise's Ring of Fame. Here's Moss learning the news from Mitchell: A first-round pick of the New York Jets in the 2001 NFL draft, the Redskins traded disgruntled wide receiver Laveranues Coles to the Jets for Moss ahead of the 2005 season. Coles initially began his career with the Jets, but signed with Washington as a free agent in 2003. He was unhappy in Joe Gibbs' offense and wanted out. Washington then made one of the best trades in franchise history, sending Coles to the Jets in a straight-up deal for Moss. In only his second game for the Redskins, Moss caught two late fourth-quarter touchdowns to shock the Dallas Cowboys on Monday Night Football. His legendary status with the franchise was already cemented. Moss would play 10 seasons in the burgundy and gold, catching 581 passes for 7,867 yards and 47 touchdowns. He finished his 14-year NFL career with 732 receptions, 10,283 yards and 66 touchdowns. Congratulations to Santana Moss!

Aaron Rodgers hits back at Terry Bradshaw after Steelers legend called his signing a ‘joke'
Aaron Rodgers has plenty of respect for Terry Bradshaw, who spent 14 years with — and won four Super Bowls for — the same Steelers franchise that Rodgers is now tasked with quarterbacking. But Bradshaw, who shredded Pittsburgh's decision to pursue Rodgers in May as 'a joke,' is only basing those judgements off perception and 'doesn't know me,' Rodgers said in an interview with NFL Network on Saturday. 'I've known Terry for a long time, being a part of Fox,' Rodgers said. 'Terry's a legend. He's an absolute legend. He won four Super Bowls. He's had a legendary career in the media. But Terry, like a lot of people, doesn't know me. So he's got an idea of what he thinks about me based on what I've done, the documentary, what I've said, darkness retreat, whatever the hell you want to talk about.' When Bradshaw appeared on Arkansas' 103.7 The Buzz in May, Rodgers' one-year, $13.65 million deal was still more than a week away from being official, and the Steelers were still waiting — and waiting, and waiting — on Rodgers to decide whether he'd play a 21st NFL season or walk away. 3 Aaron Rodgers talks with Kyle Brandt at training camp. NFL And when the 41-year-old opted to play what he acknowledged will likely be his final campaign, he became tasked with erasing the obstacles and struggles from his last two seasons with the Jets — a torn Achilles just four snaps into 2023 and some of the worst numbers of his career in 2024, respectively — and ensure that Pittsburgh's 21-year streak of not having a losing season remains intact. Bradshaw, though, would've preferred a different option at quarterback. 3 Terry Bradshaw is pictured in February 2023 at the Super Bowl. USA TODAY Sports 'That's a joke. That is, just to me, is a joke,' Bradshaw said at the time. 'What are you going to do, bring him in for one year, are you kidding me? That guy needs to stay in California. Go somewhere and chew on bark and whisper to the gods out there.' Rodgers, when specifically asked about Bradshaw's comments, joked that 'I whisper to the gods every single day' and extended an open invitation to get to know Bradshaw 'on a deeper level if he's open to it.' 3 Aaron Rodgers is pictured July 26 at training camp. AP 'I feel like if he gave me a chance to get to know him then we'd have a good friendship,' Rodgers told NFL Network, 'because for me I have nothing but the utmost amount of respect and deference for what the greats have done because they laid the foundation for us to be able to play in this great game, to be paid like kings. … So I'd love to get to know Terry on a deeper level if he's open to it. Maybe we can go chew some bark, or whatever the hell he's talking about, together.' Rodgers, who revealed after signing with the Steelers that he got married in the offseason, will face his former team in Week 1 when they travel to MetLife Stadium for a matchup with the Jets.
