Erin Andrews, the Fox Sports personality, and her now-husband, former NHL player Jarret Stoll, have been through a lot in their relationship. But their love story is one of resilience, perseverance, and ultimately, triumph.
In September 2016, Andrews received a devastating diagnosis: cervical cancer. Despite the news, she continued to work and kept her diagnosis under wraps. Months later, Stoll proposed to Andrews, and during an interview in July 2017, she spoke about how doctors advised her to freeze her eggs. “It was a huge step for my relationship with my boyfriend at the time,” she said in a cover story for Health (via Page Six). “We hadn’t even been discussing marriage. We hadn’t discussed babies!” Andrews added.

The couple then sat down and seriously discussed their future. “I’m like, ‘Hi, hon. I love you. I hope we’re spending our lives together,'” she recalled. Just over six months after getting engaged, Andrews and Stoll tied the knot in June 2017 in an intimate ceremony in Montana.
But the couple’s journey to starting a family was not without its challenges. Andrews faced fertility issues, which she openly discussed in an interview with People. “I was freaking out,” she said. “I’m 39, I know I still have time, but I was like, ‘This is going to be a problem.'”
Despite the difficulties, Andrews and Stoll remained committed to their dream of having children. They turned to in vitro fertilization (IVF) and were overjoyed when they learned they were expecting a baby girl. Andrews announced the news during an episode of Dancing with the Stars, where she serves as a co-host.

The road to parenthood was not an easy one for Andrews and Stoll, but their love and determination saw them through. And on December 26, 2020, their daughter, Isabelle, was born.
Throughout her cancer diagnosis, fertility struggles, and pregnancy journey, Andrews continued to work. She did take brief time off from working on “Dancing With the Stars,” but continued her work for Fox Sports. “I’m not watching any football games at home. This is (Fox’s) Super Bowl year, and I’m not missing the Super Bowl,” she recalled to CBS New York in January 2017.
Andrews’s story is one of strength and determination in the face of adversity. Her willingness to share her struggles with the public has made her an inspiration to many. She has used her platform to raise awareness about cervical cancer and the importance of regular screenings. And her openness about her fertility struggles has helped to destigmatize the issue and provide hope to others going through similar experiences.
