Kayla Vesia Shares Heartfelt Update After Tragic Loss
In her first public update since the passing of their daughter, Sterling Sol Vesia, Kayla Vesia, wife of Los Angeles Dodgers pitcher Alex Vesia, expressed her deep gratitude for the support received during this painful time. The emotional video was shared on her TikTok account on Friday.
On November 7, the Vesia family announced the heartbreaking news of Sterling’s death, which occurred on October 26. The couple had previously revealed their pregnancy in April, making the loss particularly profound.
“I was prepared for everything,” Kayla reflected in her video. “But I wasn’t prepared for not taking my baby home.” Her poignant remarks resonated with many, as they navigate the complexities of grief.
During this period of mourning, the Dodgers organization announced that Alex Vesia was not included in the team’s World Series roster due to a personal leave. Since the news broke, the couple has received an outpouring of support from fans and the broader baseball community.
In her heartfelt message, Kayla emphasized her gratitude. “It just felt right to come and say thank you,” she stated. “I am really grateful for the community of you guys and just expressing your support and love toward us. It really has brought us a lot of comfort during this.”
Prior to this tragedy, Kayla shared glimpses of her life and pregnancy on social media. She mentioned uncertainty about her future posts, while expressing a desire to continue sharing her journey. “I want to share and if it could help somebody going through the same thing, you know, feel like they’re not alone,” she explained.
Kayla made it clear that while she does not want to focus solely on grief, she sees social media as a different outlet for expression. “I don’t want to come on the Internet and cry. I don’t think that’s fun for anyone,” she said. “If it can help somebody who’s going through the same thing, then that’s great.”
She concluded her video by wishing everyone a happy New Year, signaling her resolve to move forward.
