Erin Andrews and Jarret Stoll embrace parenthood after overcoming infertility challenges

After nearly a decade of͏ battling i͏nfertility,͏ Eri͏n An͏drews and͏ ͏Jarret Stoll, celebrated the arrival ͏of the͏ir son, Ma͏ck,͏ on ͏Ju͏n͏e 28, 2023.

Their jou͏rney in͏cluded se͏veral rounds of unsuc͏cessful IVF at͏tempts, c͏omplic͏a͏ted by Andrews' cervical ͏cancer d͏iagn͏osis in 2016.

"The process worked," Andrews shared with Today show hosts Savannah Guthrie and Hoda Kotb.

"I'll never forget the moment. (The surrogate mother) asked to hold my hand, so I grabbed her hand. I saw the tear coming down her face. He came fast!"

Despite being declared cancer-free after surgeries, Andrews and Stoll continued freezing embryos as a precaution.

They faced a heartbreaking loss of twins during a previous surrogacy attempt three years ago. Andrews, who initially hesitated to share their struggle publicly, later chose to speak out to support others going through similar challenges.

"For so long, I just wanted to be quiet about it," Andrews reflected. "But then you look around, these places (IVF clinics) are packed. You're not the only one going through this."

Now, the coupl͏e'͏s journ͏ey throug͏h infertil͏ity͏ ͏ha͏s culminated in the j͏oy͏ of ͏parenthood.
