Erin Andrews and Jarret Stoll are parents!
Pvnew can exclusively reveal that the sportscaster and former NHL player welcomed a baby boy via surrogate a couple of weeks ago.
We hear they named their newborn Mack, and the pair celebrated their baby shower in June at Harriet’s in West Hollywood, Calif.
Reps for the couple didn’t return Pvnew’s numerous requests for comment.
Andrews, 45, has been on a fertility journey for about a decade and said earlier this year that going through IVF for nine years has been the “most challenging” part of her life.
“It’s not easy. It’s been one of the most challenging things in my life, and I know in my husband’s life as well,” Andrews told Us Weekly in January.
“I’m doing OK. We’re doing well.”
The sideline reporter and Stoll, 41, began dating in 2012 and got engaged in December 2016 while on a trip to Disneyland. The longtime couple tied the knot six months later in Montana.
Andrews first candidly discussed her IVF journey on her blog, “The Real Deal with Erin Andrews,” in August 2021, explaining that she had to balance 14-hour work days and the “time-consuming and emotionally draining process.”
“This is my seventh one, and I’ve been going through these treatments since I was 35 years old,” she said at the time, adding that her older age didn’t make IVF easier.
“It’s a ton of money, it’s a ton of time, it’s a ton of mental and physical anguish,” she wrote, “and more times than not, they’re unsuccessful.”
The Wear by Erin Andrews founder said she decided to share her infertility battle because she realized “so many people are dealing with the same thing.”
“Do I need to put everything out there? Probably not, but if I can give comfort to other people and bring things up in a discussion where people feel a little easier about bringing it up or talking about it, maybe we could start support groups or foundations for it,” she told Us Weekly.
“It’s just nothing to be embarrassed about, especially when so many people are going through it.”
