TikTok influencer Emilie Kiser posted an emotional video about motherhood just days before her 3-year-old son died following a drowning incident.
The social media star, 26, celebrated Mother’s Day with a heartfelt post that included a video montage of her with sons Teddy and Trigg, the latter of whom sadly died Sunday.
“Forever grateful that I get to be a momma💛 Happy Mother’s Day🌷,” she wrote on Instagram.
In the clip, set to Phoebe Bridgers’ track “Scott Street,” Kiser enjoyed a picnic with her kids before Trigg ran over to give her a kiss.
In another video, the proud mom watched her husband Brady play with Trigg and toss him in the air.
“POV: the joy of being a mother,” she captioned the sweet video.
Later that day, Kiser uploaded another clip in which she touched on her motherhood journey.
“I seriously cannot believe that this Mother’s Day I have two kids,” she said in a TikTok video. “Not only two kids, two boys.”
“Being a mom is truly the most amazing thing while simultaneously being scary, terrifying, hard, beautiful, amazing. Literally all of the emotions in one. Seriously just so grateful to be a mom,” she added.
The lifestyle blogger had been open about her plans to expand her family following Trigg’s arrival in July 2021.
She and her husband became parents a second time in March after welcoming their son, Teddy.
The following month, Kiser — who boasts 3.1 million followers on TikTok and over 1 million on Instagram — shared a glimpse into her new daily routine.
“I thought it would be fun to do a little night vlog with our new norm, which is two kids,” she said in an Instagram video on April 3. “Which is crazy to say.”

“I have a feeling it’s going to be a bit of a long night because every night is a long night with a newborn, but thank you so much for watching,” she said, adding that the video showed their “first full day at home.”
Following the toddler’s death on May 18, police have launched an investigation into Trigg’s death after he was found unresponsive in a swimming pool at the family’s Arizona home.
Chandler Police Department officials confirmed Sunday that the child had succumbed to his injuries following the ordeal, which had left him hospitalized in critical condition on May 12, KBTX reports.
Authorities have since extended their sympathies to the Kiser family, saying they will not be releasing any further details about the child’s condition out of respect for the family’s privacy.
