Three months after their baby’s death, Dodgers pitcher Alex Vesia and his wife, Kayla, paid tribute to the little girl with a touching social media post.
The Vesias shared a snap of them on Tuesday embracing in front of a sunset with the caption, “Sterlings mom and dad 🩷.”
In the picture, the two had smiles on their faces.
It’s the first time Kayla has put anything on her Instagram grid since Nov. 7, when she and Alex announced they had lost their daughter on Oct. 26, just two days after the Dodgers and Blue Jays began the World Series.
Alex was left off the roster for the championship games with what the Dodgers called “a deeply personal family matter.”
In the Vesias’ announcement of Sterling’s passing, they wrote, “There are no words to describe the pain we’re going through but we hold her in our hearts and cherish every second we had with her.”
They also penned a thank you message to the Dodgers, the Blue Jays and all their fans for their support.
“Our little angel,” they added in the caption of the post that showed them holding hands with their little girl, “we love you forever & you’re with us always.”
Vesia, 29, made his MLB debut in 2020 for the Marlins and then made his Dodgers debut in 2021 following a trade from Miami.
He’s logged 270 innings pitched in his five seasons with L.A. and has helped the Dodgers win two World Series.
He and Kayla went public with their romance in 2019, and they got married in 2024. Sterling the couple’s first child.
