Emilie Kiser recently provided a poignant glimpse into her life with husband Brady Kiser as they navigate their relationship following the tragic loss of their son, Trigg. In a TikTok video published on December 24, 2023, Emilie, aged 26, shared highlights from a holiday road trip, capturing moments as she prepared to travel with their nine-month-old son, Theodore. Briefly featured in the video, Brady, 28, walked by while Emilie expressed her gratitude for the support they have received during this difficult time.
“Hope you all have a safe holiday, and as always, thank you for the love, support, and kind words,” Emilie captioned the post. “They mean the world, always❤️.”
A source close to the couple revealed to Us Weekly that Emilie and Brady have been “thoughtfully working on their relationship” for several months. The source noted, “They have gone through the worst tragedy you could ever experience as parents, and they are doing their best to come together as a family.”
Prioritizing Family During the Holidays
The Kiser family is focusing on their well-being while coping with their immense loss. According to the insider, this holiday season holds significant importance for the couple as they strive to create a sense of normalcy for their family. “They’re still keeping things private as they work to be the best parents they can to Teddy,” the source added.
The heartache began in May when news emerged that their eldest son, Trigg, had passed away after being found unconscious in the pool at their home in Arizona. In light of this tragedy, the Maricopa County Attorney’s Office confirmed that authorities had submitted a criminal charge recommendation for Brady, who was present at the time of the incident. However, they also stated that there was “no likelihood of conviction.” Brady’s attorney expressed gratitude for the thorough investigation, referring to the event as “a tragic accident.”
Emilie, who took a break from social media following Trigg’s death, later broke her silence in August. She shared her feelings on Instagram, stating, “Loss of this magnitude feels impossible to put into words. I’ve spent days, weeks, months trying to find them and also take the time I’ve needed to digest the loss of my baby.”
Finding Balance in Grief
In her emotional message, Emilie reflected on the profound impact Trigg had on their lives. “Trigg is our baby and our best friend. The light and spirit he brought into this world was bright, pure, joyful, and undeniable. We miss him every second of every day, and continuing forward often feels unbearable,” she expressed.
After a period away from the public eye, Emilie has gradually returned to sharing snippets of her life online. In a video from September, she remarked, “I have missed getting to chat with you guys every day. I really do love this community we have here, and I hope that in coming back and sharing what I choose to, I can reconnect with you guys and, hopefully, help anyone going through a similar situation.”
Emilie has been mindful of balancing her online presence while managing her grief. “I have been offline for the last little bit. I’m just doing my best every day to figure this out, figure my life out. I’m just taking it day by day,” she noted.
The Kiser family’s journey through grief and healing highlights the complexities of loss and the importance of support during challenging times. As they continue to focus on their family and each other, Emilie’s updates serve as a reminder of the strength found in community and shared experiences.
