Erin Andrews had a lot to celebrate this week-and she wasn’t alone. On Tuesday, the longtime FOX Sports reporter took to Instagram to honor her husband, former NHL star Jarret Stoll, on two big life events: his 43rd birthday and their 8th wedding anniversary.
The post was simple but full of warmth. “Happy Birthday and Anniversary to our favorite @stolly28! We love you ‘Daddddddddda,'” she wrote, along with a cozy photo of the two soaking up some sunset vibes. Within minutes, fans, friends, and even fellow broadcasters were jumping into the comments.
Charissa Thompson’s boyfriend, Steven Cundari, gave Stoll a shoutout, calling him his “co-host +Ones 4 life.” Andrews’ sister Kendra also chimed in: “Happiest Birthday Bear!! You are an amazing DAADAA!! And Happy Anniversary to you both!! Love you guys.”
A Couple That’s All About the Quiet Wins
Since tying the knot in 2017-thanks to a well-timed setup by Michael Strahan-Erin and Jarret have built a life that’s become more personal than public. Their biggest moment came last summer when they welcomed their first child, Mack, via surrogate after years of fertility struggles and a cervical cancer diagnosis in 2016. Fans have followed that journey closely, and Tuesday’s post reminded everyone just how far they’ve come.
Now, between football season and the NHL calendar, they’re soaking up off-season life with their one-year-old son and golden retriever, Howard. Mack’s already been spotted toddling around in mini hockey skates, a sweet nod to Stoll’s Stanley Cup-winning days with the L.A. Kings.
Meanwhile, Andrews is still at the top of her game. She closed out last season on the Super Bowl 59 sidelines, reporting alongside Kevin Burkhardt, Tom Brady, and Tom Rinaldi as the Eagles triumphed over the Chiefs.
Stoll, for his part, is staying active behind the scenes in player development-while clearly loving his new full-time role as “Daddddddddda.”
This wasn’t a flashy red-carpet kind of celebration, and that’s what made it stick. No extravagant gestures. Just a family, a moment, and a lot of love pouring in from fans who’ve watched their story unfold.
Eight years in, Erin and Jarret are still showing us what real connection looks like-and that’s something worth cheering for.
