A challenging personal update is being provided by Erin Andrews. In the midst of her and husband Jarret Stoll's attempt to become a family of four, the ESPN sportscaster, who has been candid about her fertility issues over the years, said that they received some heartbreaking news.
On the May 22 episode of Calm Down with Erin and Charissa, Erin emotionally confessed, "I didn't want to do this podcast today." "With everything I've experienced in my life, including adversity, I've come to realize that this is sometimes such a great safe space."
In fact, Erin, the mother of 2-year-old Mack, continued by explaining that she felt comfortable giving a challenging update since she had always used her and Charissa Thompson's show to work through her challenges, especially with fertility.
She went on, "Today we received some really s--tty news." The miscarriage of our surrogate. I had previously dealt with this, but things were going very, really well, and her statistics and little heartbeat were excellent. We believed we had some great news, so I even notified you guys a few weeks ago.
Erin, 47, said that she had been "tearing up the whole time" over the heartbreaking news, but she also said that her producer, Ryan Musick, was a great cohost for the day without Charissa.
She went on to say, "Work really helps me with that. I'm also really, really good at suppressing my feelings." "I think one of the things that makes me so sad is that I'm going to have to deal with my emotions better because I didn't, and I suffered the last time we had such a loss."
Erin acknowledged that she was getting some support from Taylor Swift throughout the difficult time.
"I Can Do It With A Broken Heart," a song by Taylor Swift, has been on my mind," she said. "I'm truly 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.”

In her own words, "This really, really sucks, so if you feel like a failure and alone, I do too."
