ESPN Sportscaster Erin Andrews is introducing her brand new baby boy to the world!
Andrews and her husband, Jarret Stoll, have welcomed their first child, Mack, with the help of a surrogate after a nearly decade-long struggle with infertility, as confirmed to Today, and the publication has shared the first pair of sweet photos of the newborn.
Posted on Instagram earlier today, July 14, a sweet snap of the new family featured the babe clad in a white onesie with red moose and Canadian flags. Andrews kissed the sweet little boy on his head as Stoll looked on lovingly from the side.
Another adorable peek showed a golden retriever leaning its head softly alongside Mack, eyes closed as if soaking up all of the affection it could.
The new mom, 45, has been settling into her new role over the last couple of weeks, telling the news program that she's "still finding her footing."
“I keep staring at him. I want to study everything about him,” she said. “I want to make up for lost time.”
She also shared a little about what went down in the delivery room, with her surrogate requesting to hold her hand during the birth and Stoll, a 41-year-old former NHL player, holding the nurse "like he'd just won the Stanley Cup."
Andrews also spoke about “paying it forward” by speaking candidly about her journey to motherhood.
The 45-year-old started undergoing fertility treatments at 35, freezing her embryos after being diagnosed with cervical cancer in 2016. "It definitely took a serious turn for us,” Andrews told Health after the fact. “I’m not young, we don’t know when we’re going to have a baby, we don’t know if this is going to come back.”
Andrews was very open about her battle with cancer and the IVF process, telling Shape last year, “The more you can talk about stuff like this, it becomes a normal thing, and you don’t feel embarrassed about it.”
Still, she's said it was "one of the most challenging things in" both her own and her husband's life. We're glad to see the positive outcome—congratulations to the sweet new fam!
