The wife of Los Angeles Dodgers pitcher Alex Vesia returned to social media to share an update after the couple announced the loss of their newborn daughter last year.
Vesia did not pitch in the World Series victory against the Toronto Blue Jays due to the death of his daughter, Sterling Sol Vesia, announcing the news on Nov. 7, saying their baby “went to heaven Sunday October 26th.”
On Jan. 2, Vesia’s wife Kayla posted a two-minute clip on TikTok explaining how she and her husband are coping.
“Alex and I are just trying to get through it everyday. Every day’s so different for us right now and I don’t really have the words,” she said, noting that she normally shares a lot of their lives on social media,” she said.
“It just felt right to come on here and say ‘Thank you’. I am really grateful for the community of you guys, and just expressing your support and love towards us. It really has brought us a lot of comfort during this.”
Kayla Vesia thanked the couple’s supporters and said social media is a “good outlet” to talk to them.
“I don’t know how much I’m going to share. I don’t know. I don’t know the details of it, but I do know that I want to share, and if it can help somebody who’s going through the same thing, feel like they’re not alone,” she said. “I was prepared for whatever was gonna happen but I wasn’t prepared for not taking my baby home.
Alex Vesia will return to the Dodgers next year as the team exercised his $3.55 million club option for 2026.
