Erin Andrews and Jarret Stoll's love story, from their first date in 2012 to navigating fertility struggles and celebrating parenthood in 2023
Erin Andrews and Jarret Stoll’s relationship has been going strong since 2012 — even though it wasn’t exactly love at first sight. According to a Harper’s Bazaar article published in August 2017, Stoll texted Michael Strahan asking if he could be set up with Andrews at the 2012 World Series game.
Strahan texted Andrews the details, but she said she wasn’t interested at the time. However, at the Tigers/Giants game that same year, Stoll walked past two security guards to get to Andrews and made a move in person. The twosome ended up going to dinner and clicked immediately. The rest, as they say, is history. Andrews and Stoll got engaged in January 2017 and tied the knot in June that same year. They welcomed their first child, son Mack, via surrogate. In January 2025, Andrews revealed that she and Stoll don’t really see eye-to-eye when it comes to sharing their personal lives with the public. “My husband would rather we not be so public — me not be so public,” she told Success magazine in an interview.Stoll initially texted Strahan to meet Andrews at the 2012 World Series, but she turned him down. At the Tigers/Giants game that year, Stoll tried again and went up to her, walking past two security guards. The couple eventually went to dinner and hit it off.Andrews supported Stoll when he won the 2014 Stanley Cup Finals with the Los Angeles Kings for the second time.Stoll revealed that she was diagnosed with cervical cancer. She later shared how it strengthened her bond with Stoll. “It was a huge step for my relationship with my boyfriend at the time,” she told Health magazine’s July/August 2017 issue. “Because you don’t know if a guy is going to want to sit in with an oncologist and see, ‘OK, so this is your cervix, and this is your uterus, and we are cutting out this part…”“We hadn’t discussed babies!” she shared with the outlet. “It really puts things on the fast track for you — because you have an oncologist saying to you, ‘We highly recommend that you guys do your embryos right now, freeze them.’ I’m like, ‘Hi, hon. I love you. I hope we’re spending our lives together.’ And he was amazing.”“We went there for Christmas to see the Christmas decorations, and we had a lovely dinner there, and he did it right there at dinner at Disneyland,” she shared on Good Morning America. “I was bawling like a child.”After previously being candid about her fertility struggles, Andrews and Stoll welcomed their first child, son Mack, via surrogate. Days after welcoming their son, Andrews opened up about an “emergency in the delivery room” due to the fact that the surrogate “dilated really fast” and there were concerns about the baby’s heartbeat as he entered the birth canal. “I had my head facing the wall because I didn’t want to be in the way,” she shared with Today. “All of a sudden, a nurse grabbed me and said, ‘ wants to hold your hand.’” Andrews noted that she and Stoll then “turned into the biggest sports fans,” cheering for the surrogate as she labored and later pushed. “She pushed once and he came out!” she told the outlet. “I’m kissing head, and Jarret is looking like he just won the Stanley Cup again. It’s the perfect picture of surrogacy.”“Sometimes men don’t want to talk about this stuff, but they’re also feeling the feels, too,” she told E! News. “My husband was really, really great after we were going through more lows than highs, just being like, ‘This sucks. This just isn’t great. I feel really crappy, and I feel like a failure,’ and that really helped a lot too.”Following Andrews getting candid about her fertility, she recalled that Stoll had a conversation with her on the idea of being private. “He was just like, ‘Why do we have to say this?’ And I said, ‘Because these waiting rooms are packed,’” she explained to Success magazine.Stoll appeared on Charissa Thompson and Andrew’s podcast, “Calm Down,” along with Thompson’s husband, Steve Cundari. During the episode, Stoll opened up about developing a work-life balance with Andrews traveling all the time for work. “Communication has to be there,” he shared. “When you’re gone, like someone’s gotta be there to hold things down and vice versa. So I think we do a good job balancing that. But you guys are busy. It’s a lot.”
