Is Erin Andrews Married? Meet Her Former Professional Athlete Husband

In the days leading up to Super Bowl LIX, veteran sideline reporter Erin Andrews revealed she was one of 38 million people affected by dry eye disease.

“I just thought it was my eyes being tired,” she said. “I thought maybe it was just because I’m looking at my screen so much—my eyes always kind of feel a little scratchy, gritty. I’m always like wiping them or trying to blink. I just thought that that’s how it was. Turns out, I’m an idiot, and my doctor’s like, ‘No, that’s dry eye.’”

Andrews revealed she later discovered prescription drops that could help with her dry eye issues and pleaded others to do the same. “Like [if you are] constantly rubbing your eyes or blinking or thinking, ‘Oh, my eyes feel super dry or scratchy’—go ask somebody about it because there’s actually something that can relieve your symptoms,” Andrews said.

Andrews has dealt with a number of health issues in the past, including being diagnosed with cervical cancer at 39 that led her on a nine-year IVF journey with her husband, former NHL player Jarret Stoll.

His playing career spanned from 2002-16, but took off when he was a member of the Los Angeles Kings where he won two Stanley Cups. He later met the love of his life, who previously worked as a reporter for the Tampa Bay Lightning.

In an interview with Success, Andrews revealed her singular focus of work was the reason she got married “so late” and started a family “so late.” “Hence why I got married so late, hence why I had a baby so late—I really put my career first,” she said.

In opening up about her IVF journey, Andrews recalled the decision to go public with her battle.

“I just said, ‘This sucks. This just absolutely sucks! And I am so sick of sticking myself with needles and going in there and having a happy face and not telling anyone about it,’” she recalls. Stoll didn’t love the desire to highlight a personal battle - despite both having lived very public lives in their careers.

“My husband would rather we not be so public—me not be so public,” she says. It was something that came up often during the couple’s fertility journey. “He was just like, ‘Why do we have to say this?’ And I said, ‘Because these waiting rooms are packed.’”

She and the former Kings star welcomed their first child, Mack Roger Stoll, via surrogacy in 2023.
