Beloved Texas sports broadcaster Jared Sandler worked two Texas Rangers games less than one hour after learning that his wife suffered two separate miscarriages.

Speaking to The Dallas Morning News’ , Sandler revealed that he and his wife, Emily, have lost 10 potential children through miscarriages, unexpected health complications, failed in vitro fertilization (IVF), and multiple surrogacy.

On more than one occasion in the last five years, Jared was informed of the tragic family news mere minutes before stepping into the Rangers’ broadcast booth. Rather than call in sick, however, he decided on his own accord to continue working the MLB contests.

“The Rangers have made it clear, in those situations, no one’s forced me to work,” said Jared, who previously served as the Rangers’ radio voice and play-by-play announcer prior to settling into his current role as on-field host. “I feel like it’s my responsibility to work and it provides a little bit of an escape.”

Back in 2020, the Sandlers’ first pregnancy lasted nine weeks before Emily suffered a miscarriage in May. Doctors diagnosed her with Robertsonian translocation, a type of structural chromosome abnormality that can lead to higher risk of miscarriage and infertility.

In January 2021, the Sandlers experimented with IVF — an assisted reproductive process during which eggs are fertilized with sperm in a laboratory. Following two failed attempts, the third led to a pregnancy that lasted seven weeks. Another unsuccessful try prompted the couple to go for twins, which resulted in a miscarriage after nine weeks.

Given how expensive in vitro fertilization can be — one IVF cycle ranges from $12,000-$25,000 — Jared began working a side hustle in real estate investment on top of his baseball duties. “That job has allowed me to keep doing this dream,” he said of his broadcasting job. “And it’s also allowed us to kind of proceed without having [limited resources].”

Then in 2023, the Sandlers turned to surrogacy but quickly gave up once several transfer attempts with a surrogate didn’t take. In October of that year, however, Emily shared what appeared to be a miracle: She’d gotten pregnant naturally.

Upon clearing a series of hurdles, the Sandlers began calling the baby “Remi” — the first child they got far enough to name. “She was resilient and she was a miracle,” Emily said. “That’s how we came up with R-E-M-I.”

Yet 14-and-a-half weeks in, tragedy struck. Remi was diagnosed with a heart condition that caused it to develop only two chambers rather than four. On December 12, 2023, the child was lost.

Last month, Emily announced on Instagram that she was pregnant and expecting to give birth in the spring. The couple initially planned to have another child via surrogacy, but their surrogate miscarried.

To this day, Jared honors Remi’s memory and the other nine babies he and Emily lost with a custom-made chain. “I kiss this before I go on air,” he explained. “Whenever I get nervous, or sad, or scared, I just find it and hold it. It’s the first time in this process that we had a baby so far along that we had a baby.”
