Erin Andrews Opens Up About Surrogate Miscarriage and Her Ongoing Fertility Journey

Erin Andrews didn’t have to share her story. As a successful sportscaster and former Dancing with the Stars competitor, she could’ve kept her fertility struggles completely private. But she chose otherwise, and that decision is resonating with millions of people who’ve been silently dealing with infertility, pregnancy loss, and the emotional toll of trying to conceive. In a recent interview, the 48-year-old opened up about experiencing a miscarriage through her surrogate in May 2025, discovering the news on the same day she was recording her podcast“Calm Down.”Instead of shutting down, she leaned into vulnerability, sharing her entire journey with listeners who desperately needed to hear that they weren’t alone.

What makes Andrews’story even more powerful is her refusal to give up. This is her second surrogate loss, yet she and her husband Jarret Stoll are gearing up for another round of IVF. She’s fully aware of the biological realities facing women in their late forties—egg viability decreases with age, and the statistics aren’t favorable. But as she put it in her recent interview, there’s something inside her that says,“Watch me do it.”That’s not magical thinking. That’s resilience born from battling cervical cancer (she was declared cancer-free in 2017) and navigating multiple setbacks while refusing to be defined by them. The fertility clinic waiting rooms she describes are packed with people from all walks of life, all struggling with similar heartbreak and hope.

By normalizing the conversation around infertility, Andrews is doing something quietly revolutionary. She’s telling people that your struggle doesn’t disqualify you from success, that age doesn’t have to be a dead end, and that being honest about pain is actually strength. Her podcast has become a safe space for listeners to process their own experiences, and the feedback she receives is overwhelming—people grateful to know they’re not the only ones. Have you ever felt isolated by a personal health struggle, only to find relief in hearing someone else’s story?
