Emilie Kiser Announces Pregnancy a Year After Son's Death

Published 4 July 2026

Emilie Kiser, a social media influencer, announced on Friday that she and her husband, Brady Kiser, are expecting their third child. The news comes just over a year after the tragic drowning death of their three-year-old son, Trigg.

In an Instagram post on July 3, Emilie Kiser described the pregnancy as a "bright light" during a dark period for her family. She expressed gratitude and excitement while also stating her intention to maintain privacy moving forward. "As I stated last year, my family’s privacy will always be my priority," she wrote. "Because of that, I’m not sure how much I will be sharing about this pregnancy and next phase of life."

The couple's eldest son, Trigg, died in May 2025 following an accident at their home in Chandler, Arizona. The toddler was found unconscious in the family's backyard pool on May 12 and died in a hospital six days later, on May 18. Brady Kiser was home caring for Trigg and the couple's newborn son, Theodore, at the time. The Chandler Police Department recommended a felony child abuse charge against Brady, but the Maricopa County Attorney's Office later declined to file charges, stating there was no likelihood of conviction.
