The sports broadcaster recently told E! News that she's thinking about expanding her family 15 months after giving birth to her first child.

Andrews, 46, and her husband, a former hockey player Jarret StollShe had a son, Mack, via a surrogate in July 2023. She spoke about the fear and sadness she has faced over the years while trying to conceive.

“We’re talking about trying again,” she told the outlet in an interview published on Saturday, October 12. “I was really, really honest with my doctor a few weeks ago. I just said, “We were so excited by the birth of Mack and his great achievements that I don't want to go back to that place of failure again, and I'm really, really afraid of it.”

Before her surrogate became pregnant with Mack, Erin learned that she had lost two of her embryos.

“It's crazy because as soon as you get back on the phone with your fertility doctor and start talking about the trip again, the post-traumatic stress disorder comes back, how crappy you felt, how numb your body becomes, just the fear of loss,” she said .

Andrews also said her husband, 42, also went through his own emotional journey during this process. She added that listening to him share his feelings also helped her.

“Sometimes men don't want to talk about these things, but they feel the feelings too,” Andrews said. “My husband was really great after we went through more lows than highs and he just said, 'This sucks. That's just not great. I feel really crappy and like a failure and that helped a lot too.”

Andrews also recently made headlines for criticizing the New York Jets quarterback Aaron Rodgers for skipping a post-game interview.

After the New York Jets' 24-3 victory over the New England Patriots on September 19, Rodgers did a brief on-site interview with Amazon Prime's sideline reporter Kaylee Hartung before heading to the locker room. However, he did not join Charissa Thompson, Tony González, Ryan Fitzpatrick, Andrew Whitworth And Richard Sherman for their postgame show.

Andrews weighed in on the topic on the Sept. 23 episode of her “Calm Down” podcast, which she co-hosts with Thompson. While she said she was glad to hear Rodgers tell Hartung that he “felt like himself,” she said that line would have been more effective in the postgame show, where he would have had the opportunity to elaborate further discuss.

“I would have preferred it up there on the desk,” she remarked. “I didn’t like it.”
