Erin Andrews has been spotted for the first time since it was revealed she recently gave birth to her first child with husband Jarret Stoll via surrogate.
The 45-year-old sports host, who had endured a “challenging” nine-year IVF journey, beamed as she appeared solo in Los Angeles on Tuesday.
She showed off her shapely frame in a sleeveless top and skin-tight leggings after what appeared to be a morning workout.
Later, the new mom was seen stepping out of her vehicle with a large Gucci tote bag and a blue crew-neck sweatshirt.
On Monday, representatives from Andrews TODAY confirmed that she and Stoll, a 41-year-old former NHL player, are now parents to a baby boy.

Page Six added that the baby was born in the past few weeks and is said to be named “Mack.”
The outlet also claimed Andrews hosted a baby shower at Harriet’s, a rooftop restaurant and bar at the 1 Hotel in West Hollywood, in June.
Andrews has been candid about her dream of becoming a mother, as well as her nearly decade-long journey with in vitro fertilization (IVF).
Back in January, she confessed to Us Weekly that IVF was “one of the most challenging things in my life.”
Although the process is “not easy,” she stressed that she and her husband have not given up hope.
‘I’m reasonably well. “We’re fine,” Andrews said.
She married Stoll in an intimate ceremony in 2017. The former “Dancing With The Stars” host and the Canadian athlete tied the knot in Big Sky, Montana.
The television personality looked absolutely stunning in a white dress by Venezuelan-American fashion designer Carolina Herrera.
In 2021, Andrews opened up about her fertility struggle, almost five years after she beat cancer.
The sports presenter, who froze her eggs before being diagnosed with cervical cancer in 2016, wrote about the “time-consuming and emotionally draining process” of IVF in a personal essay published in the Bulletin.

Andrews explained that she had been undergoing these treatments since she was 35 when she was trying to conceive with her husband.
At this point she was in her seventh round.
“My body is kind of on me. I’ve been trying to get IVF treatment for a while, but sometimes things don’t go the way you want them to.
“Your body just won’t allow it,” she wrote at the time.
“Every cycle in a woman’s body is different, so some months are better than others.” When I heard that this was the best time for further treatment, I had to reconsider.
“How can I fit this treatment in addition to my work schedule?” I was so stressed. When that happens, the real question is: is this my family’s future or is it my job?
Andrews explained that women in sports often “feel the need to keep things like this a secret,” but she noted that there are also “so many other women who might be procrastinating their careers because they don’t want to miss out .’ uses all opportunities.’
She pointed out that it’s “so common that people start families late and put so many other aspects of their lives on hold.”

For her seventh round of IVF, she decided to openly tell her show producers that her daily fertility appointments meant she would be coming into work “a little later than normal” — and she’s “grateful” that she did.
They encouraged me to be open about it because that’s real life,” she said. “It’s not like I’m going to take a hot yoga class, I’m trying to have a baby.” I have no shame and want to be vocal and honest about this.”
Andrews recalled that she was always “embarrassed” when her name was called out loud in the waiting room.
“It makes me think, ‘I want it to keep quiet, I don’t want people to know,’ but I don’t care!” she wrote. “It sucks, but I’m in the waiting room with all these other women.” It’s a team no one wants to be a part of. We’re all going through this and having a hard time. It can be so isolating, but the reality is that we are all there together.”
In her essay, Andrews also addressed the “mental and emotional toll” IVF takes on the body, noting that it makes you feel “s***” and it may not do you any good.
“You could have this whole experience and get absolutely nothing out of it — that’s the crazy thing about it,” she explained. “It’s a lot of money, it’s a lot of time, it’s a lot of mental and physical agony.” And most of the time, they’re unsuccessful. I think that’s why a lot of people prefer to keep it quiet.”
Andrews said that after her seventh round of IVF, she wondered why she’s “keeping it so secret” if she’s not alone in her fertility struggle.
“You never know who else is going through this; It could be another colleague or the person who makes you coffee every day. “There are more people than meets the eye,” she wrote.
“Instead of being ashamed, we need to give ourselves more love,” she added.
Andrews made the decision to freeze her eggs years before she was diagnosed with cervical cancer in September 2016.
At the time, she was covering the NFL season and hosting Dancing with the Stars, but didn’t tell her co-workers about the scare.
On October 11, 2016, she first went under the knife to remove the cancer at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center in Los Angeles.

A doctor recommended a hysterectomy, which would have made natural birth of children impossible.
Andrews decided to have another surgery to remove more of her cervix before taking the steps to a hysterectomy, hoping it would clear up the rest of the cancer.
After a follow-up visit in November, she received good news from her doctor that the cancer was gone and she would not need radiation or chemotherapy.
The cancer diagnosis came just months after she won a highly public stalking lawsuit against the Nashville Marriott and stalker Michael David Barrett, in which she was awarded $55 million.
Andrews had previously discussed undergoing IVF in interviews, and in March 2021 she told Bustle that she and Stoll plan to have children in the near future.
“My husband and I missed the whole social circle where people complain about their kids, home school and all that stuff,” she said. “We’re going to be having kids in the next few years, so maybe we’ll be in a different social scene.”
