Influencer Emilie Kiser has revealed that she and her husband are expecting another baby together, a year after losing their three-year-old son.
As previously reported, Emilie’s three-year-old son, Trigg, died after falling into the family’s backyard pool on May 12, 2025.
Emilie, 27, was not at home at the time of the accident, while her husband, Brady Kiser, was caring for Teddy.
Tragically, the toddler died in hospital six days later, on May 18.

According to the Chandler Police Department, Brady initially reported losing sight of Trigg for three to five minutes before finding him in the pool.
Police later said video evidence showed the child had been unsupervised in the backyard for more than nine minutes and in the water for about seven minutes.
As well as their late son Trigg, Emilie and Brady are also parents to one-year-old son Teddy, and announced on Friday that they are expecting their third child.
Emilie shared the news on Instagram, posting a photo of her cradling her growing bump, as she told her followers: “We are so grateful and excited to share that we will be welcoming another baby into our family.
“This news feels very surreal and has already been such a bright light to us during some of our darkest days.”
She added: “As I stated last year, my family’s privacy will always be my priority. Because of that, I’m not sure how much I will be sharing about this pregnancy and next phase of life, but I appreciate your understanding as I navigate those boundaries.
“This baby has already brought so much hope and joy into our home, and we are treasuring every moment of it together.
“Thank you in advance for all of the love, well wishes, and support as we navigate this next chapter of our growing family. Love you guys.”
The happy news comes after Emilie revealed that she’d forgiven her husband over the tragic loss of Trigg.
Emilie revealed on Jay Shetty’s On Purpose podcast: “This could have just as easily happened to me. This could have just as easily been me in Brady’s position.
“Brady was taking care of our newborn child. When I left for dinner that night, he was de-thawing my breast milk, trying to get Teddy settled, a five-week-old baby. That doesn’t excuse anything. It doesn’t excuse what happened.
“But taking that accountability, along with all the other things I know I could have changed, gave me so much true, deep, real, raw empathy for him of, this could have been me.”
She also revealed that the couple went on to work with medical professionals to help them process the trauma of losing their son in such tragic circumstances.

Emilie has also shared several posts advocating for more awareness of the dangers of drowning for young children, saying on TikTok: “This is a topic that I will continue to talk about when I feel comfortable, because it is so extremely hard to talk about, and I hope that people can understand that.
“Our son’s death was very preventable. It was an accident, but it was a preventable accident. I will always take full accountability for that, because as a parent, it is your job to protect your child.”
She also highlighted the dangers drowning poses to young children, adding: “Drowning is the number one cause of death in children three and under. And that is an extremely hard statistic to swallow because I truly just can’t believe how much it happens.”
She urged parents to take extra precautions around pools and other bodies of water.
“I really hope that if you see this video, you please, please, please install a pool fence. Make sure you have door alarms. Make sure if you have door alarms, all of your batteries are updated. Please make sure that you watch your children around water.”
