Erin Andrews didn’t plan to break down on her podcast, but some days leave you no choice. The longtime Fox Sports sideline reporter, known for holding it together under pressure, let the world in on something deeply personal this week. She and her husband, former NHL player Jarret Stoll, had been preparing their hearts and home for a second child. But instead of joy, they’re facing grief.

Speaking on the May 22 episode of Calm Down with Erin and Charissa, Erin Andrews shared that their surrogate had miscarried. Her voice was heavy with emotion as she described the moment everything changed.

“We got some really s–tty news today,” she said. “That our surrogate had miscarried.” Her voice cracked as she described the loss, adding, “Her little heartbeat and her numbers were really good, so I even told you guys a couple weeks ago because we thought we had such good news.”

After years of fertility struggles and the happiness of welcoming their son Mack via surrogacy, this loss cut deep.

While much of the focus has been on Andrews and her emotional strength, fans haven’t forgotten her husband. Stoll, a two-time Stanley Cup champion, has quietly stood by her through years of fertility struggles, the joy of welcoming their son Mack via surrogacy, and now, another painful chapter.

The sports world quickly responded with messages of support, not just for Andrews, but for Stoll, who many admire for his resilience.

“Sending all the love to you, Jarret, Mack and Howie!” one fan wrote on social media.

“Praying for all of you,” added another.

A third comment read, “Sending him so much love.”

The couple has faced long battles to grow their family. Erin Andrews, now 47, has been open about her challenges with fertility and the emotional toll it has taken. This latest setback clearly hit hard. “I didn’t want to do this podcast today,” she admitted. “I’ve realized throughout my life with everything I’ve gone through, adversity, sometimes this is such a great safe space.”

For Stoll, who once lifted the Stanley Cup in front of thousands of roaring fans, this quiet moment of grief has drawn a different kind of support, one grounded in empathy, not celebration. As the NFL and hockey communities extend their thoughts, it’s clear this family isn’t facing their pain alone.

Fearne has had a difficult few months after undergoing surgery to remove two benign tumours from her jawline, just days before her split with Jesse emerged.

She told host Lorraine: ‘It’s all very amicable and kids are doing great. I am in a very good place.’place.’

Discussing her recent surgery, she added: ‘I feel very grateful to have completely recovered.

‘I feel really good. I have a lot of people reaching out who have had the same thing.’

Davina McCall, 56, announced in November she’d been diagnosed with a colloid cyst, a rare type of benign brain tumour, and has supported Fearne.

She continued: ‘Everyone needs a Davina. She’s been amazing, weird that we had the same health thing going on at the same time. She’s so calming and we speak every day. She is just the best

It comes after Fearne has seemingly made another thinly-veiled dig at her ex-husband as she gushed that she is the happiest she’s ever been in a positive update.

Speaking to Scott Mills on his BBC Radio 2 breakfast show, Fearne gushed that she is ‘really happy’ and is ‘springing out of bed in the morning ready for life’.

Scott, who has known Fearne for 25 years, said he has never seen her ‘more positive or happier’, prompting Fearne to agree and reply: ‘Yeah I feel great!’

She told how her health scare has changed her outlook and said she has been seeking comfort from Davina.

‘I’m really happy and I think when you’ve had a health thing like that it does just give you this baseline gratitude where you just feel, you know I have talked to Davina a hell of a lot as our operations were within a month of each other which so weird,’ she continued.

‘We’ve had so many brilliant chats about yeah just feeling very grateful for the basics and sort of springing out of bed in the morning ready for life so yeah I’m feeling good I’ve got lots of exciting stuff happening this year so I’m ready for it!’

Reflecting on her health scare, Fearne said she is ‘massively grateful’ because she didn’t think the lump was anything to worry about, before learning it was a tumour.

‘I went for an ultrasound and it ended up being a tumour, which was obviously a big surprise,’ she explained.

‘Now I feel absolutely great I’m really grateful and you know go and get those lumps and bumps checked out if you’ve got them it’s really really important.

‘I really thought this is going to be a non-event and it ended up being you know major surgery, but I’m healthy and feeling great and just massively grateful.’

Fearne had the benign tumour removed just days before her split from her husband Jesse – who she shares her son Rex and daughter Honey with – emerged.

‘It is with a heavy heart that I let you all know that Jesse and I are ending our marriage,’ the radio host said in an online post at the time, saying their priority would ‘always be’ their children.

Fearne is also stepmother to Jesse’s children Arthur, 21, and Lola, 18, from his first marriage to Tilly Wood.

Jesse, 48, has since moved on his former actress and model, Gemma Gregory, 39, who now works in the wellness business and hosts the Happy Place podcast.

Meanwhile, Fearne is said to have been secretly dating TV director Elliot Hegarty since January.

Their romance emerged when they were seen passionately kissing on a night out in Soho before they walked hand-in-hand while accompanied by friends.

The single mother, 51, was said to be ‘totally shocked and devastated because she only knew that Elliot and Fearne were friends’ and a friend told the Mail: ‘It was an awful way for her to find out and it has been quite ghastly for her.’

Fearne recently spoke about wanting to have a ‘burst of fun’ and ‘go and get p***ed’ following the end of her marriage.

Speaking to Women’s Health UK, Fearne made a swipe at her ex-husband as she told how she has ‘missed out on having fun’.

She shared: ‘I’ve dedicated the past 12 years to being a mum and building Happy Place [the award-winning podcast and wellness festival Fearne launched in 2018] I still want to do all of that, but I’ve been missing out on just having fun.

‘Now I’m in my forties, I want more fun; to see mates, have lunches at my house and cook for everyone, go on little nights out and dinners and not care so much about getting back late.’

The couple had reportedly faced challenges for several years, with Fearne previously admitting that their marriage had been ‘suffering’ as far back as 2019.

Speaking at the time, Fearne said Jesse’s demanding schedule with his band Reef had put a strain on their relationship which left them desperately ‘clinging onto their marriage’ in an unearthed interview.

Fearne and Jesse tied the knot in July 2014 three years after they started dating. They met while partying in Ibiza the year after his split from his first wife Tilly.
