Los Angeles Dodgers pitcher Alex Vesia and his wife, Kayla, have shared the devastating news that their first child, a baby girl they had lovingly named Sterling Sol Vesia, was born without a heartbeat on October 26.
For months, the couple had prepared for her arrival. Tiny clothes were washed and folded neatly in drawers, a soft crib stood ready by the window, and every detail of their daughter’s new world had been created with anticipation and joy. But when the day finally came, their hopes collapsed into silence.
Sterling entered the world quietly, leaving her parents with a moment that was both precious and unbearably painful. Kayla held her close to her chest, whispering their daughter’s name through tears. Alex gently wrapped his fingers around Sterling’s tiny hand, committing every detail to memory — knowing their time together would be heartbreakingly brief.
In the hours that followed, the couple released a statement reflecting the depth of their grief:
“Our little angel — we love you forever. There are no words for this pain, but we hold her in our hearts and cherish every moment we had with her.”
Their message has been met with an outpouring of compassion from teammates, fans, and the broader community, all offering support as they navigate a loss no family should ever have to endure.
