Emilie Kiser, a 27-year-old TikTok influencer known for her cleaning and lifestyle content, announced on Friday evening that she is expecting a baby with her husband Brady. The couple already has a 15-month-old son named Teddy. The announcement comes just over a year after the tragic death of their three-year-old son Trigg, who drowned in a pool at their Arizona home on May 18, 2025.
Pregnancy as a Source of Light
In an Instagram post, Kiser shared her gratitude and excitement, writing: "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 emphasized her priority on family privacy, noting she is unsure how much she will share about the pregnancy but appreciates understanding as she navigates boundaries.
Kiser, who has 5.1 million followers on TikTok, went silent for months after Trigg's death. She resumed posting in September 2025 and recently spoke about her grief on the six-month anniversary of his death. On November 12, 2025, she posted a plea to her two million Instagram followers, recalling the "worst moments of [her] entire life" and writing: "I miss him with every fiber of my being. Every ounce of me yearns to hold him again, hug him again, tell him how special he is, and how much I love him."
Drowning Prevention Warning
In her November post, Kiser issued a stark warning to other parents, urging constant supervision and safety measures. She advised: "Please watch your children at all times. No amount of supervision is too much or 'helicopter parenting.' Please get a pool fence... Better yet, add a fence around other barriers. Add pool alarms, extra locks, and automatic closers to your doors." She also recommended signing children up for swimming lessons as soon as possible. Kiser had previously shared that Trigg had regular swimming lessons and that the family had installed a safety net.
According to the National Drowning Prevention Alliance, drowning is the leading cause of death for one- to four-year-olds in the United States. Children can drown in less than 30 seconds, and the majority of drownings occur even when an adult is present.
