On a recent episode of Calm Down, a listener asked about handling long-distance relationships. Andrews didn't sugarcoat the challenges, but her message was rooted in optimism. 'Look, I think it's hard to date in the same city, in a different state. It's also hard to find the right person,' she admitted. However, she encouraged listeners not to give up on love just because of logistics. 'If you have a crush and they live in another state, I don't think that should deter you from not moving forward,' Andrews said. She even called it 'exciting' when you finally get to reunite with your partner after time apart. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Trading CFD dengan Teknologi dan Kecepatan Lebih Baik IC Markets Mendaftar Undo Andrews wrapped her advice with the kind of real-world wisdom that has made her podcast such a hit: 'If you have the means, if you have the patience, if you are interested in each other that much, see where it goes.'

Erin Andrews teases new game show hosting gig after ‘Dancing with the Stars' breakup
Erin Andrews said she 'loves trying to be the female version of Michael Strahan,' who became a media giant after his NFL retirement in 2007. During the latest installment of the 'Calm Down' podcast, the veteran Fox Sports sideline reporter revealed she's going through a rollercoaster of emotions as she films a new Fox game show, '99 to Beat,' alongside actor Ken Jeong. It's Andrews' first hosting gig in the game show space since she left 'Dancing with the Stars' in July 2020. 8 Erin Andrews opens up about her new hosting gig on Fox's new game show, '99 To Beat' during the latest installment of the 'Calm Down' podcast on May 29, 2025.

Obviously, it's been a minute since I got the boot from 'DWTS' with [co-host] Tom Bergeron. 'I affectionately love to tell that story. My agent is like, 'Don't say that! You weren't fired, you were replaced.' I was fired.' Andrews, who laughed about her 'DWTS' exit, explained that she's excited to be back in the game show space and is looking forward to 'a fun challenge.' 'I'm excited to have this opportunity,' she said. 'But yeah, we'll see how it goes. It's going to be real interesting… It's with Ken Jeong, also a Fox family member. So I'm looking forward to it.

Erin Andrews Announces Her Surrogate Suffered Miscarriage
Erin Andrews revealed on Thursday that her surrogate experienced a miscarriage. Andrews, 47, shared the news on the newest episode of her "Calm Down" podcast with Charissa Thompson, which debuted Thursday morning. The longtime FOX reporter said she actually had received the news a short time before going on the air, and debated whether or not she should do record the show. "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 said to producer Ryan Musick. "But I'm also really really good at suppressing my feelings and work really helps me with that." Andrews, who has a two-year-old son with her husband, former NHL player Jarret Stoll, said her surrogate was pregnant with the couple's second child, news she hadn't shared publicly. "We got some real s----y news today that our surrogate had miscarried," Andrews said. "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." Over the years, Andrews has been quite open about her and Stoll's struggles with infertility and use of IVF. The couple experienced a pregnancy loss with their first surrogate before their second one was able to give birth to their son Mack. Because of her personal experiences, Andrews says she feels it is important to continue to be forthright about such a sensitive topic. "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," she says. We would like to extend our condolences to Andrews, her husband and her surrogate during this difficult time.
