Overview
- Emilie Kiser announced on Friday that she is pregnant with her third child, posting an image of her baby bump and saying the news has brought hope during a difficult year.
- The announcement comes more than a year after her 3-year-old son, Trigg, was pulled unconscious from the family’s backyard pool on May 12, 2025, and died days later at a Phoenix hospital.
- Chandler police reviewed video that showed Trigg unsupervised in the backyard for minutes and recommended a Class 4 felony child-abuse charge for her husband Brady, but the Maricopa County Attorney’s Office later said there was no likelihood of conviction and did not file charges.
- Since Trigg’s death, Kiser has publicly discussed her grief and therapy, taken responsibility as his mother, urged parents to install pool barriers and alarms, and said she will set firmer online privacy boundaries for her family.
- Drowning can happen very quickly and often occurs even with an adult nearby, a risk Kiser has highlighted to urge practical safety measures such as permanent pool fences, door alarms, and early swim lessons for young children.
