Erin Andrews is settling into a new role in her life, and fans couldn't be more elated.
In 2017, the former Dancing With the Stars host excited folks when she married retired hockey star Jarret Stoll. While Erin often keep details of their relationship private, the couple publicly announced on July 10 that they welcomed a baby boy via surrogate. Their rep confirmed the news to Today.com, saying that the addition comes after they went through "an extensive IVF journey" that spanned over nine years.
A few days after Erin's announcement, a video posted on her Calm Down With Erin and Charissa podcast's Instagram showed her feeding the newborn while watching TV. "Our new biggest fan ❤️," read the caption. "So happy for @erinandrews & @stolly28."
When fans saw the sportscaster share a first look at her son online, they immediately began celebrating with her in the comments.
"Omg!!! So happy you for both, truly the best news ever! ❤️❤️❤️," one person wrote on Instagram. "I have never been so happy for complete strangers in my life! 😍 Congrats ❤️❤️❤️," another wrote. "Congrats! Dreams do come true!" a different follower added.
'Calm Down with Erin and Charissa'
While Erin initially kept details of her son's arrival quiet, she later talked about his birth on a July 14 episode of her podcast. When speaking to co-host Charissa Thompson about the experience, she revealed that the couple chose to name the baby Mack Roger Stoll. She also painted a picture of her emotional journey amid fertility struggles and a secret battle with cervical cancer at the end of 2016.
"We didn't really know the risk of it all," she said on the audio show. "We thought it was going to be so, so easy to do and we ended up putting two embryos in. And we lost them both and that was so hard... that was a really hard go for me."
"For so long I just wanted to be quiet about it, but then you look around, these [fertility clinics] are packed," she continued. "You’re not the only one going through this."
Congrats, Erin and Jarret!
