Erin Andrews says she and Jarret Stoll are still trying for a second baby at 48. The effort continues after their surrogate suffered a miscarriage in May 2025, and Andrews says she is not backing off the plan.
“It’s a lot harder at 48 than I ever thought it would be,” Andrews told Us while discussing the family’s attempt to expand. She also drew a hard line on where she stands now: “I’m not done.”
Mack and the July 2023 start
Andrews and Stoll welcomed their son, Mack, via a surrogate in July 2023, which sets the timeline for the current push toward a second child. The latest attempt came after that birth, making the May 2025 miscarriage the setback in the middle of an already long process rather than the start of it.
Andrews framed the effort in blunt terms: “For some reason, I don’t take ‘no’ or bad visits very well. I said to my doctor the other day, ‘I’m not done,’” she said. She added, “So yeah, I’m very, very interested in continuing this whole thing and seeing what I can do. Listen, I feel like I’ve been through a lot before, and I’ve come out on the other side. So I’m ready to rewrite a little history with this too.”
September 2016 to 2017
Her public discussion sits next to a separate part of her history: Andrews was diagnosed with cervical cancer in September 2016 and doctors declared her cancer-free in 2017. She said this month marks ten years since that diagnosis, and she is working with Cancerguard to raise awareness for its multi-cancer early detection test.
Andrews said she went in for a routine screening when she learned about the cancer, underwent two operations, and later pushed through the recovery. The test she is promoting uses a single blood draw and is designed to detect over 50 types and subtypes of cancer, which is why her cancer story and her family planning story now sit in the same public conversation.
What Erin Andrews is doing now
Andrews’ advice to other couples is to talk about it instead of holding it in: “I said to my girlfriends the other day, and I’ve said to them throughout this entire thing of trying to have a baby, that I’m so grateful for communicating because you can’t keep it in. I mean, it’s just not good for you if you do [keep it in]. So, I’ve told people this: lean on your loved ones, even if they’ve never had to deal with this before. I feel like it’s the best way.” That is the practical read on this story: the attempt is ongoing, the setback is real, and Andrews is making the strain public rather than treating it as private noise.
For Erin Andrews and Jarret Stoll, the next step is another try, not a closure. The unresolved part is whether the effort after the May 2025 miscarriage turns into another pregnancy, but Andrews has already made her position plain: she is still in the fight.
