The Tragedy and the Couple’s Journey
In an emotional message posted on social media, Kayla Vesia, wife of Los Angeles Dodgers pitcher Alex Vesia, addressed the family tragedy they have endured. The couple announced their daughter, Sterling Sol Vesia, had died in November 2025.
On October 26, 2025, Kayla shared a statement with her followers: “Our beautiful daughter went to heaven Sunday Oct. 26.” This marked the beginning of an emotional journey that has tested their resilience and strength.
Alex’s Personal Struggle
Following the tragic loss, Alex stepped away from his team during the World Series in October 2025. The Dodgers issued a statement saying he was handling a “deeply personal matter” that required time off. This decision came as a shock to many fans and team members.
Alex finished the 2024 season with 68 regular-season appearances, and he pitched in seven postseason games. Despite his absence during the World Series, the Dodgers defeated the Toronto Blue Jays in seven games that year to secure their second consecutive World Series title.
Kayla’s Public Message
In her first public message since the loss, Kayla shared a more than two-minute-long TikTok video on Friday. “You know, I don’t have much to say, honestly,” she began, expressing her feelings of being at a loss for words.
“Alex and I are just trying to get through it every day. Every day’s so different for us right now, and I don’t really have the words.” She expressed gratitude for the community’s support during this difficult time: “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.”
Looking Forward
Kayla also hinted at her future plans: “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.
The couple shared news that they were expecting their first baby together in April 2025.
They had been married since 2024 and had posted several photos documenting the pregnancy on social media. The loss of their daughter has undoubtedly cast a shadow over these plans, but the couple remains committed to finding strength in each other.
