Erin Andrews shared that her surrogate recently experienced a miscarriage amid pregnancy for her and husband Jarret Stoll’s second baby. 

Erin Andrews is giving a difficult personal update.

The ESPN sportscaster, who has been open about her fertility struggles over the years, shared that she and husband Jarret Stoll received sad news amid their journey to expand to a family of four. 

“I didn’t want to do this podcast today,” Erin tearfully admitted on the May 22 episode of Calm Down with Erin and Charissa. “I’ve realized throughout my life with everything I’ve gone through, adversity, sometimes this is such a great safe space.”

Indeed, Erin, mom to 2-year-old Mack, went on to detail how she had always used her and Charissa Thompson’s show to talk through her struggles, particularly with fertility, so she felt comfortable sharing a difficult update. 

“We got some really s–tty news today,” she continued. “That our surrogate had miscarried. 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 I even told you guys a couple weeks ago because we thought we had such good news.”

And while Erin, 47, noted her producer Ryan Musick was an excellent cohost for the day with Charissa away, she admitted she had been “tearing up the whole time” over the devastating news. 

“I’m also really, really good at suppressing my feelings and work really helps me with that,” she added. “I think one of the things I’m so sad about is I’m going to have to do a better job with dealing with my feelings with this because the last time we had such loss I didn’t, and I suffered with it.”

Erin admitted that Taylor Swift was somewhat helping her through the struggle. 

“I’ve been thinking about that Taylor Swift song ‘I Can Do It With A Broken Heart,’” she explained. “I’m really good at doing it with a broken heart. I think I kind of made a promise to myself that when I was really open with how s–tty infertility has been—I decided I would be honest about this.”

As she put it, “This really, really sucks so if you feel alone and if you feel like a failure, I do too.”

Still, Erin, who wed Jarret in 2017, has previously shared that all of the struggle is worth welcoming a baby, and she’s felt that reward with little Mack. 

“There’s a lot of PTSD from the loss that we’ve had,” Erin told E! News in March,  “but we also know the end result is really fun.”
