Does Erin Andrews have kids? Exploring sportscaster's IVF journey with husband Jarret Stoll

Erin Andrews, a distinguished FOX sportscaster, and Jarret Stoll, a retired NHL player, have recently celebrated the birth of their first child, a son, born through a surrogate.

Their path to parenthood has been a nine-year-long saga, marked by determination, love, and the courage to overcome challenges.

Erin and Jarret's story began in an unexpected way during the 2012 World Series. A text from Jarret to his friend, NFL alum Michael Strahan, marked the first step in a journey that would see them overcome personal trials and tribulations. Despite initial hesitations, Erin and Jarret's paths crossed, and a romantic connection blossomed.

However, their journey to parenthood was anything but straightforward. In 2016, Erin was diagnosed with cervical cancer, casting a shadow of uncertainty over their dreams of having a family. Erin underwent a successful surgery and emerged victorious in her battle against cancer.

Even before Erin Andrews' cancer diagnosis, the couple had taken steps to preserve their chances of having children by freezing embryos. Andrews and Stoll married in Big Sky, Montana, five years later in 2016.
