LOS ANGELES — Kayla Vesia, wife of Los Angeles Dodgers pitcher Alex Vesia, has opened up about her ongoing grief following the tragic loss of their daughter, Sterling Sol Vesia.
In a heartfelt TikTok video posted on January 2, 2026, the 29-year-old influencer revealed that she and her husband are “trying to get through each day,” underscoring the daily struggle they face.
“You know, I don’t have much to say, honestly,” Kayla shared, her voice heavy with emotion.
“Alex and I are trying to get through it every day. Every day is so different for us, and I don’t really have the words,” she continued, reflecting on the unpredictable nature of grief.
The Vesias had publicly announced the loss of their daughter, Sterling Sol Vesia, on November 7, 2025, sharing that no words could capture the depth of their pain.
In her TikTok, Kayla expressed gratitude for the outpouring of love and support they have received from fans, friends, and Alex’s teammates in the Dodgers organization.
“It just felt right to come and say, ‘thank you,’” she said, acknowledging the comfort that the community’s support has provided during this heart-wrenching time.
“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,” Kayla added.
Beyond gratitude, Kayla emphasized her desire to use her platform to help other families navigating the pain of child loss, demonstrating a remarkable resilience even in the face of personal tragedy.
“I want to share if it can help somebody who’s going through the same thing, you know, feel like they’re not alone,” she said, highlighting her intention to transform her grief into a source of support for others.
Kayla acknowledged the uncertainty of her content moving forward, noting that she isn’t sure what her TikTok posts will look like this year, but she hopes to share her journey in a meaningful way.
“[I don’t know] what this content is going to look like going forward, but I do want to share my journey,” she said, visibly emotional.
She further explained that she plans to be selective in what she shares, balancing the need for personal healing with her hope of providing comfort to others.
“I don’t know how much I’m gonna share, I don’t know the details, but I do know I want to share if it can help somebody who’s going through the same thing, you know, feel like they’re not alone,” Kayla added, emphasizing the potential impact of vulnerability.
Kayla also intends to use TikTok as a personal outlet, giving her a space to express her thoughts and emotions while helping others navigate grief.
While she admitted uncertainty about the timing and nature of future content, she promised to return to the platform gradually, taking care to prioritize her own healing alongside her community engagement.
