More than a year after her family endured a devastating loss, influencer Emilie Kiser has shared uplifting news with her followers.
Kiser, a TikTok personality who also has more than 2.1 million Instagram followers, revealed on Friday, July 3, that she is expecting another child. The 27-year-old posted a photo featuring her baby bump and included an emotional message about what the moment means for her family.
“We are so grateful and excited to share that we will be welcoming another baby into our family,” Kiser wrote, thanking her followers for their continued support.
In her caption, she said the experience still felt “surreal” and explained that the pregnancy had brought a sense of brightness during an especially painful chapter in their lives. Kiser also noted that, after choosing to keep much of her family life private over the past year, she has not yet decided how much of the pregnancy she will share online.
“This baby has already brought so much hope and joy into our home, and we are treasuring every moment of it together,” she continued in her post.
The announcement comes a little over a year after the death of Kiser’s three-year-old son, Trigg, who died after a drowning accident at the family’s home in Chandler, Arizona, in May 2025. Reports from the time said Kiser’s husband, Brady, was at home with the couple’s two children when Trigg went outside after dinner and was later discovered in the backyard pool.
According to those reports, Trigg had been outside by himself for nearly 10 minutes before he was found in the water, where he is believed to have been submerged for about seven minutes. He was taken to hospital and died six days later, on 18 May 2025.
Since the tragedy, Kiser has shared only limited updates about her personal life, occasionally posting about grief, healing and family while largely keeping her children out of the spotlight. Her pregnancy announcement marks one of the most significant public moments she has shared since her son’s death.
