Sportscaster Erin Andrews Shares First Photo Of Newborn Son, Reveals “Emergency” Delivery

FOX sportscaster Erin Andrews is a mother for the first time! She and her retired NHL player husband Jarret Stoll have finally welcomed their first baby together.

This great news coming after Andrews struggled mightily with a 9-year-long fertility journey. The 45-year-old star opened up to both TODAY and Glamour about her experience with IVF and surrogacy.

The sportscaster underwent IVF treatments for several years and had her life change in 2016 after she was diagnosed with cervical cancer. At the time of her diagnosis, she had already frozen eggs, and the couple then underwent treatment to produce embryos.

But after years of failed transfer attempts, she and her husband decided to go down the surrogacy route in the summer of 2020, but even that wasn’t easy.

The couple tragically lost two babies after being paired with a family in 2021, a period Andrews admitted was ‘really, really hard.’ The loss eventually led the pair ‘to this organization that we were able to find our new surrogate with,’ she said.

Now, two years later, Andrews finally has her baby. She and Stoll welcomed their first child together via surrogate on June 28.

She revealed that her son entered the world quickly, causing a bit of a scare in the emergency room. The surrogate apparently dilated really quickly, and because of this, there were concerns about the baby’s heartbeat as he “dropped” into the birth canal.

I had my head facing the wall because I didn’t want to be in the way. All of the sudden, a nurse grabbed me and said, ‘[The surrogate] wants to hold your hand.’ At that moment, Jarrett and I turned into the biggest sports fans. ‘Come you, you can do this! You’ve got this girl!’

Now, some two weeks later, Andrews is sharing the first photos of her newborn, Mack, with the world.

Congrats to the happy family!
