An emotional Erin Andrews opened up about the new “man” in her life — her son, Mack.
“He came fast. My man was ready, so he’s got a good little head on him,” the sportscaster shared on the “Today” show Friday morning.
Page Six exclusively reported that Andrews and her husband, Jarret Stoll, welcomed their first child via surrogate after a decade-long journey with IVF.
While talking to “Today” co-anchors Savannah Guthrie and Hoda Kotb, Andrews credited her “amazing” surrogate for giving them their baby boy.
“Our whole journey with our surrogate and her family was incredible,” Andrews said, adding that both she and her surrogate cried when Mack was born.
Ever since bringing Mack home two weeks ago, the “Calm Down” podcast co-host joked she and the NHL player have been competing with their baby skills.

“It’s great and luckily this is my off season and my husband’s off-season, too. … Look, we have a competitive household with Jarret and myself, so I’ll do the diaper because we both want to nail it.”
Andrews, 45, did admit that she’s the better at swaddling while Stoll, 41, is more successful at burping Mack.
Given that she’s been a mom only for a couple of weeks, Andrews couldn’t speak to how motherhood had changed her so far, but she did share what she hopes will happen.
“I hope it makes me take a huge breath,” she said. “‘Alright, chill out, you don’t want this baby to feel this.’”
The sideline reporter previously said her experience with IVF was the “most challenging” part of her life — but said on the morning show that she ultimately went public with it because she thought it might help others struggling with fertility.
“For so long I just wanted to be quiet about it, but then you look around, these [fertility clinics] are packed,” she shared. “You’re not the only one going through this.”
