Erin Andrews
, one of the most recognized faces on NFL sidelines, has shared heartbreaking news with her fans and listeners. The veteran Fox Sports reporter revealed during a recent episode of her podcast, Calm Down with Erin and Charissa, that the surrogate carrying her second child has suffered a miscarriage.
Erin Andrews opens up about heartbreaking miscarriage of surrogate during second pregnancy journey
This emotional disclosure came just months after Erin Andrews and her husband, former NHL star Jarret Stoll, celebrated the birth of their first child, Mack, via surrogacy in 2023. Their parenthood journey has been anything but smooth, marked by fertility struggles, medical challenges, and now, another devastating setback.
Speaking with honesty and vulnerability, Andrews didn't hold back. 'We got some real sh---- news today that our surrogate had miscarried,' she told her listeners.
'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 much so I even told you guys a couple weeks ago because we thought we had such good news.'

Andrews, 47, fought through emotion during the podcast, admitting that work had become a way to keep herself centered through pain. 'I've just been tearing up the whole time and trying to stay focused,' she told producer Ryan Musick.
'But I'm also really really good at suppressing my feelings and work really helps me with that.'
A journey marked by loss and courage
This isn't the couple's first experience with loss during the surrogacy process. Erin candidly mentioned that their first surrogate also experienced a pregnancy loss before their successful journey with Mack. Despite the heartbreak, Andrews made it clear that her openness is intentional.
"Been sitting here thinking about Taylor Swift's song, 'I Can Do It with a Broken Heart.'
I'm really good at doing this sh-- with a broken heart," she said.
"But I think I kinda made a promise to myself that when I was really open with how sh---- infertility has been and our journey with two surrogates, because we did lose…we had loss with our first surrogate and then luckily with our second one, we had Mack, that I was just going to be honest with people.'

Is Rey Mysterio finally returning to WWE after his WrestleMania setback?
Rey Mysterio (Image via Getty Images) Rey Mysterio fans finally have something to look forward to. The WWE legend, who missed WrestleMania 41 due to an unexpected injury, is now on track to return very soon. After months of recovery and plenty of questions about when he would be back, the latest reports confirm that the Master of the 619 is almost ready to step back into the ring. He was set for a big match at WrestleMania against El Grande Americano, but just 24 hours before the event, everything changed. Mysterio was pulled from the card after getting hurt during a tag match on SmackDown, leaving fans disappointed and worried. Now, with a return date in sight, hope is back. What happened before WrestleMania Just one night before WrestleMania 41, Mysterio teamed with Dragon Lee and Rey Fenix on SmackDown to take on American Made. While their team picked up the win, things did not go smoothly for Rey. He ended up suffering a torn groin and also revealed later that he had a burst eardrum from the same match. The groin injury needed surgery, which ruled him out of WrestleMania completely. Mysterio wanted to go through with the match anyway, but WWE doctors and officials didn't clear him. Rey Fenix was chosen to fill his spot and face El Grande Americano instead. It was not the outcome anyone wanted, especially Rey, but his health came first. Rey Fenix, Rey Mysterio and Dragon Lee battle American Made: SmackDown highlights, April 18, 2025 According to Dave Meltzer in the Wrestling Observer Newsletter, Rey Mysterio's return is currently expected in August. Earlier reports also mentioned a post-SummerSlam comeback, which lines up with this timeline. Since April, Mysterio has been off TV, focusing on recovery and resting after surgery. His last match was that April 18 SmackDown appearance, the one that unfortunately led to his injury. Rey Mysterio speaks on his character and WWE appearance Even though he has been sidelined, Mysterio still made an appearance at WWE x AAA Worlds Collide, where he kicked off the show with a passionate promo. Not everyone agreed with what he had to say, though. During that event, he said, 'WWE's deal with the Mexican promotion had given Lucha Libre a seal of authenticity.' The comment stirred some debate, with mixed reactions coming from fans and wrestling insiders. Rey Mysterio comments on potential heel turn, if WWE fans would accept it In a separate interview, Mysterio was asked whether he would ever turn heel in WWE. His answer was clear: probably not. He said, 'It would be very difficult' for him to ever become a villain. Mysterio explained that his calm personality and years of playing a baby face would make the change hard to accept for fans. As August gets closer, the excitement is building. Rey Mysterio has always been a fan favorite, and after missing such a big moment at WrestleMania, many are eager to see him make a strong comeback.

'Statistically, he's not': Cleveland Browns DE Myles Garrett is not better than Pittsburgh Steelers LB T.J. Watt
(Image via Getty: T.J. Watt) Myles Garrett is one of the highest-paid defensive ends in NFL history. Mike Moraitis of The Sporting News said on June 20, 'T.J. Watt is looking for Myles Garrett money in contract extension. ' Now, if T.J. Watt's contract extension talks at the Pittsburgh Steelers are revolving around Myles Garrett's kind of money, there's bound to be some comparison between the two players. And it's bound to reach the Pittsburgh Morning Radio Show on 93.7 The Fan! And it did! The host of the Fan Morning Show, Adam Crowley, chimed in by saying Myles Garrett may be a first-ballot Hall of Fame guy, but he's not better than T.J. Watt statistically. A former Pittsburgh Panthers quarterback who joins them (93.7 Radio Talk Show hosts Dorin Dickerson and Adam Crowley) every Thursday, Pat Bostick, too shared his views. Bostick said the two(T.J. Watt and Myles Garrett) can't be compared because they play different games. Let's hear their plights, shall we? Myles Garrett is a better athlete, but he's not statistically better than T.J. Watt, says 93.7 The Fan Radio Talk Show host Adam Crowley 93.7 The Fan Live Stream Host of the Fan Morning Show at 93.7 The Fan in Pittsburgh, Adam Crowley said, 'Edge rushers, this floored me on this ESPN quarter-century team. DeMarcus Ware - good player, great player. Jared Allen - great player. Julius Peppers - great player. Myles Garrett's on the list. I mean, seriously. I'm not saying Myles Garrett isn't a great player. He is. He's a first-ballot Hall of Fame guy. Every single statistic, he trails T. J. Watt. Why does it seem like the National Consensus likes Garrett more than Watt? Because I do think that is the consensus. I think most average NFL fans, by the way the National Media talks about Garrett, they think he's a better player than T.J. Watt. Statistically, he's not. He's a better athlete. He got drafted No. 1 overall because of it. He was a phenom in college. Like, is that what it is?' Former Pittsburgh Panthers quarterback Pat Bostick says Myles Garrett and T.J. Watt play different positions, even though they are both called edges now Pat Bostick, former Pittsburgh Panthers quarterback, joined the hosts of 93.7 The Fan on June 19. Bostick shared, 'I think edges come in different packages. He's a nine technique in a 4-3 defense. T.J. Watt, for the majority of his career, is a standup outside linebacker. They're both edges now. Everyone wants to call them edges now. His opportunities are quite frankly different than Myles Garrett's. I think he's got more designed one-on-ones because of how they play schematically. I think Garrett and Watt play different positions, and they're being compared in an edge category that's melding them two together. I don't think that's necessarily fair to either one of them.' The crew of the 93.7 The Fan Radio Talk Show was later joined by Aditi Kinkhabwala of CBS Sports and they asked her about the Myles Garrett and T.J. Watt issue. She sided with T.J. Watt. What did she say? T.J. Watt is not petty and not trying to land more than Myles Garrett, discloses American Sports Reporter Aditi Kinkhabwala Aditi Kinkhabwala said, 'I got asked that, too. Oh, is T.J. Watt's whole contract situation being held up by Myles Garrett? And my response to that is T.J. Watt is not that petty. This is not about - oh, I need one more penny than Myles Garrett.' Ian Rapoport, NFL Insider, also said, 'You know if they possibly can, they're going to try and not make him(T.J. Watt) the highest-paid edge-rusher in the NFL.' But how much does T.J. Watt want? As much as Myles Garrett? Then, how much does Myles Garrett make? Myles Garrett earns $40 million a year -his contract is for four years and $160 million. But who started all this Myles Garrett and T.J. Watt comparison to even begin with? It was Adam Schefter, NFL Insider, who shared on ESPN's Unsportsmanlike on Tuesday that Trey Hendrickson and T.J. Watt would be in the Maxx Crosby, Myles Garrett range - 'somewhere in there.'
