Erin Andrews faces heartbreaking loss as surrogate suffers miscarriage with her second child
'So I have dealt with this before, but things were going really, really well. And her little heartbeat and her numbers were really good,' Andrews said, her voice quivering. The couple had allowed themselves to hope, even sharing their joy with close colleagues, before it all came crashing down.
The 47-year-old FOX Sports reporter remained committed to her work, even recording the show while grappling with fresh grief. Speaking directly to producer Ryan Musick, she said through tears, 'I've just been tearing up the whole time and trying to stay focused. But I'm also really really good at suppressing my feelings and work really helps me with that.'
Erin Andrews has always used her platform to highlight the hidden emotional toll of infertility, IVF, and surrogacy.

She recalled how she and Stoll had experienced loss with their first surrogate before welcoming their son Mack in 2023 through another surrogate.
'We had loss with our first surrogate and luckily with our second one, we had Mack,' she said. That journey, she's made clear, was anything but easy. Andrews was diagnosed with cervical cancer in 2016, and after undergoing two surgeries, she and Stoll decided to freeze embryos in case the cancer returned.
It was a decision shaped by uncertainty, but one that ultimately gave them a path to parenthood.
The miscarriage has understandably shaken her. 'Been sitting here thinking about Taylor Swift's song, 'I Can Do It with a Broken Heart.' I'm really good at doing this s--- with a broken heart,' Andrews admitted, revealing the inner conflict of needing to be strong while crumbling inside.
What makes her story resonate so deeply is her refusal to hide behind a curated image of perfection.
'I just wanted to be open with people and be like, 'This sucks.' And today, this really does,' she said honestly. She believes that vulnerability helps others feel less alone—just as it once helped her. 'Going through this whole journey, you think you're alone. You're not alone.'
She also acknowledged how difficult the moment was for her husband. 'I know my husband is having a difficult time and I'm going to go home and be with him, and then we're going to throw our little 2-year-old in a pool and I feel like squeezes are going to feel a little different from him today.'
With unwavering grace, Andrews continues to advocate for open conversations around fertility, miscarriage, and mental health. 'If you feel alone and you feel like a failure, I do too, but you're not the only one,' she reminded listeners.

He tells her Tulsi to not listen to anyone as she has never treated the kids differently. On the other hand, Sameer, who is behind falsely accusing Angad for the accident gets angry at the police constable as he was not able to delete the CCTV footage. The constable asks him to calm down and contact traffic police Inspector Nitin Gokhale. Sameer decides to bribe him and leaves to meet Nitin. Meanwhile, Nitin grows emotional over his sister Vrinda's lack of access to basic education. During a visit to Nitin's home, Sameer tries to bribe him with Rs 50,000 in exchange for erasing the CCTV footage. When Nitin appears reluctant, Sameer ups the offer to Rs 5 lakh before leaving. This leads to a heated argument between Nitin and his wife, who scolds him for turning down the money. At Shanti Niketan, Tulsi gets worried about Angad and her house-help Munni tries to convince her to trust Angad as he never lies to her. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like How Much Does It Cost to Rent a Private Jet - The Prices May Surprise You!

"Shut the F*ck up": Karrueche Tran's cryptic post fuels whispers about Deion Sanders baby plans and sp*rm rumors (Image Via X) Deion Sanders and the actress Karrueche Tran are back in the news. Deion Sanders is already in the middle of a new wave of rumors after having recovered recently from bladder cancer. Now people are wondering if he and his rumored girlfriend may be having a child together.

Shortly after, Karrueche Tran posted some bold content online that many fans think is a reaction to the chatter. Here's a simple rundown of what happened and where everything stands. Karrueche Tran responds after baby rumors go viral On August 2, 2025, 37-year-old Karrueche Tran posted a message on her X (formerly Twitter) account that said: 'We should have a national quiet day where everyone just shuts tf up for 24 hours.'

Serendipity Arts residents' tryst with chance, artistry and transformation
The Open Studio is not just a showcase of artistic output, but a celebration of dynamicity, vulnerability, and artistic companionship The Serendipity Arts Foundation is alive with the energy of emerging artists and lovers of artistic experiments, as it kicked off its Open Studio, a weeklong showcase for the Serendipity Arts Residency 2025, running through August 8. Billed as a 'constellation of images, ideas, textures and emotions,' the Open Studio offers more than a glimpse into the minds of six residents, Anishaa Tavag, Anshumaan Sathe, Malavika Bhatia, Ningkhan Keishing, Valia Russo, and Programmer-in-Residence Harshada Vijay, who have immersed themselves in a three-month journey of experimentation and collaboration in the eighth edition of the Residency, which is an annual flagship for cultivating new artistic voices. Open Studio offers more than a glimpse into the minds of six talented residents - Ningkhan Keishing, Malavika Bhatia, Anshumaan Sathe, Anishaa Tavag, Valia Russo and Programmer-in-Residence Harshada Vijay Behind this curation was the theme: chance. 'Chance became the quiet anchor of the residency,' shares Harshada Vijay, Programmer-in-Residence, reflecting the spirit of risk and openness that united this cohort. Over shared meals and studio walls, artists meandered between disciplines, letting materials and serendipity guide the way. 'The Residency programme has always been a space for discovery for the artists and for us,' says Smriti Rajgarhia, Director, Serendipity Arts. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like World's 25 Best Cities to Live In Learn More Undo 'This year's residents remind us that artistic practice is as much about vulnerability and generosity as it is about creativity. What emerges from their work is not just individual expression, but evidence of a thriving creative ecosystem. The Foundation hopes to nurture: artistic practices that are brave, generous, and deeply rooted in context. " Here's what took form in the past three months: Come Play With Me by Anshumaan Sathe Anshu's project is equal parts intimate and unapologetic, a series of tender portraits created in dialogue with fellow trans folks. Emerging from letters, oral conversations, and sketching workshops, these portraits aren't merely visual studies, they're love letters that reclaim joy, desire, and the act of being seen, infusing the space with humour and honesty. Archive of Impossible Exologies by Malavika Bhatia Archive of Impossible Exologies by Malavika Bhatia (as MycoDyke) Teaming up with the resilient fungus Schizophyllum commune, M has created living installations, decomposing, responsive to touch, breath, and time. Their project weaves together a Punjabi riddle about mushrooms, colonial archives, living fungal cultures, and the displacement of ancestral memory. The centrepiece was a 'mycelial book', made of agar agar and mycelium, which grows and rots. About the installations and the work, they say, "All of this started with foraging. It (Fungi) really has a mind of its own. I haven't done this alone," quipped M, while interacting with curious visitors. Come Play With Me by Anshumaan Sathe Hi Bi Kadlekai by Anishaa Tavag Through dance, Tavag explores the play and performance of masculinity—a shapeshifting exploration inspired by Bollywood heroes and personal longing. Vulnerable yet playful, her movement-based installation asks: What does masculinity look like, and who gets to inhabit it? Her performance blurs the line between fantasy and embodiment, prompting viewers to reflect on their cultural scripts. "I look at what makes the male star, what actions create that aura around the male star. This was not about disavowing femininity, but embracing what is masculine. I feel masculinity is not limited to men," she remarked, while interacting with the audience post her performance. Hi Bi Kadlekai by Anishaa Tavag Phunga Wari (Lusivi) by Ningkhan Keishing Rooted in his Tangkhul Naga heritage, Keishing's large ceramic installation reimagines the traditional three-legged wood stove of his childhood, each leg symbolising a parent and the spirit. With stories passed down from his mother, the piece becomes a vessel for memory and intergenerational wisdom, dynamically blending indigenous practice with contemporary abstraction. Pédiluve by Valia Russo French artist Valia Russo draws us into the anxiety of digital excess with an installation that fuses photography, urban waste, and botanical matter. Named after the French ritual of cleansing before entering sanctity, his work is a poetic filter for our image-saturated lives, generating hybrids that float between ruin and renewal, and challenging us to question how we process today's visual overload. Pédiluve by Valia Russo One can expect work in process, performative experiments and dialogues with artists. Visit, don't miss the chance ! Pics: Serendipity Arts Foundation
