Congratulations are in order for Erin Andrews and husband Jarret Stoll.
The veteran Fox Sports sideline reporter, 45, and retired NHL player, 41, welcomed a baby boy via surrogate a few weeks ago, Page Six exclusively reported on Monday.
The couple named the newborn Mack, according to the outlet — which added that Andrews and Stoll celebrated with a baby shower at Harriet’s in West Hollywood, Calif., last month.
The Wear by Erin Andrews founder and the two-time Stanley Cup champion have yet to publicly announce the news.
Reps for Andrews and Stoll didn’t return numerous requests for comment, Page Six said.
Andrews has been open about the couple’s desire to start a family, as well as the fertility challenges she has faced on a nine-year journey going through IVF.
In January, Andrews told Us Weekly that she would take “about 50 needles” in her stomach — and called it one of the “most challenging” parts of her and Stoll’s life.
“It’s not easy,” she said. “… I can take about 50 needles in my stomach and just handle it better than my husband ever could,” Andrews quipped of Stoll.
“He’s always in the other room watching ‘Seinfeld.’ I’m like, ‘Don’t worry, I’ve got this, just stabbing myself for the 50th time.’
“You know that you’re strong and that you can deal with it and it will get better.”
The “Calm Down” podcast host previously said in a 2021 essay for her “Bulletin” blog that she had been undergoing “time-consuming and emotionally draining” fertility treatments since she was 35, all the while balancing 14-hour work days.
“It’s a ton of money, it’s a ton of time, it’s a ton of mental and physical anguish, and more times than not, they’re unsuccessful,” she wrote in part at the time.
Andrews has said that she chose to be open about her IVF journey to help others feel comfortable discussing it.
The star sportscaster and the former Canadian athlete are fairly private about their personal life — although Andrews has shared some tidbits on her “Calm Down” podcast with fellow Fox Sports personality Charissa Thompson.
Andrews and Stoll tied the knot in Montana in June 2017, six months after they got engaged while on a trip to Disneyland in December 2016.
