Erin Andrews records podcast hours after learning her surrogate experienced a miscarriage
Erin Andrews, who was expecting her second child through surrogacy, revealed that the pregnancy ended in miscarriage. Andrews announced the loss of the baby, a girl, on the May 22 episode of her podcast 'Calm Down with Erin and Charissa.' She shared that she had received the news earlier that day. 'So I have dealt with this before, but things were going really, really well. And her little heartbeat and her numbers were really good,' the 47-year-old sportscaster said, her voice breaking with emotion. Speaking to her producers, including Ryan Musick, Andrews added, 'I even told you guys a couple of weeks ago because we thought were had such good news.' Andrews cried as she praised Musick for doing a 'bang-up job' on the show they were recording. 'I've been trying really hard to pay attention. I've just been tearing up the whole time and trying to stay focused,' she said. 'But I'm also really really good at suppressing my feelings and work really helps me with that.' '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,' she added. Andrews and her husband, Jarret Stoll, are parents to 2-year-old son Mack, who was born with the help of a surrogate. 'We had loss with our first surrogate and luckily with our second one, we had Mack,' Andrews said. Andrews has been outspoken about sharing the highs and lows of IVF and surrogacy; one reason she was determined to tape the episode despite her grief. 'I just wanted to be open with people and be like, 'This sucks,'' she said. 'And today, this really does.' After Andrews was diagnosed with cervical cancer in 2016, her oncologist recommended that she and Stoll freeze embryos. Andrews underwent two surgeries and was declared cancer-free, but she and Stoll decided to move ahead with IVF in the event that the cancer returned. Following a nine-year struggle with infertility, the couple welcomed Mack in 2023. That year, Andrews told she is 'paying it forward' by sharing her story about her own struggles. Talking to others who had been through infertility, IVF and surrogacy, she said, really helped her and Stoll in their darkest moments. 'Going through this whole journey, you think you're alone,' she said, at the time. 'You're not alone.' This article was originally published on
