Erin Andrews’ surrogate had a miscarriage with her second child, the sportscaster revealed during an episode of her podcast on Thursday, confessing that it made her “feel like a failure.”
“We got some real s—ty news today that our surrogate had miscarried,” Andrew shared, choking up, on “Calm Down with Erin and Charissa.”
The 47-year-old NFL sideline reporter previously lost twins via surrogacy before the birth of her son, but was optimistic about this most recent surrogate pregnancy.
“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 said.
Andrews gave kudos to producer Ryan Musick, who joined her on the episode while co-host and fellow sportscaster Charissa Thompson was away.
“I’ve been trying really hard to pay attention, I’ve just been tearing up the whole time,” Andrews said.
Andrews, mom to 2-year-old Mack with husband Jarret Stoll, said she originally did not want to do the episode, but reflected on how the podcast has been a safe space for her over the years, from her battle with cervical cancer to infertility issues.
