Emilie Kiser has steadily risen to internet fame as a social media influencer, known for sharing everything from travel recaps to heartwarming at-home moments with her family. The Instagram and TikTok star built a devoted following through her fun and relatable lifestyle content.
But in May 2025, that community was shaken when reports surfaced about a tragic accident involving a young child. News broke that a 3-year-old child had drowned in a backyard pool in Chandler, Arizona—and Emilie’s followers quickly feared the worst: that the child was her son, Trigg. It turned out that Trigg died after drowning in the pool, and Emilie hasn’t been active on social media since then.

Emilie Is 26 Years Old
As of July 2025, Emilie is 26 years old, according to her Instagram account.
Emilie Has Attended Celebrity Brand Events
Thanks to being a social media star, Emilie has been invited to quite a few iconic brand events. Perhaps the most eye-catching one she attended was Rare Beauty’s March 2023 event, where Emilie met founder Selena Gomez. At the time, she shared an Instagram selfie alongside the pop star, actress, producer and businesswoman.
“Truly a night I will never forget. @selenagomez you’re gorgeous inside and out,” Emilie captioned her Instagram carousel post. “@rarebeauty thank you for sending me on this amazing trip I love you guys!!!”
Emilie Is Married
Emilie has been married to her husband, Brady Kiser, for five years. The spouses tied the knot in early 2020, according to Brady’s Instagram, where he shared pictures from their big day.
Emilie Has 2 Kids
Emilie and Brady share two children together: their late 3-year-old son, Trigg, and Teddy. Trigg was born in 2021, and Teddy was born in 2025, according to Emilie and Brady’s Instagram accounts.
In May 2024, Emilie gushed about being a mom in honor of Mother’s Day, calling it the “best role [she’s] ever been given.”
“I love being a mom so much, and I am so lucky to be Trigg’s mom,” Emilie wrote in her Instagram post at the time. “Happy Mother’s Day to all the amazing moms out there. Sending love to anyone who is wanting to become a mom, has lost a child, or has lost their mom. Love you guys so much.”
One year later, multiple reports surfaced about a frightening ordeal that Emilie and her family allegedly experienced. Trigg reportedly drowned in the pool of a residence in Chandler, Arizona, and first responders had to administer CPR and airlift him to a hospital, according to The Express Tribune. The publication reported that local police said in a statement, “Chandler PD arrived on the scene first and found an unconscious 3-year-old boy who was pulled from the backyard pool. Officers began CPR, and firefighters took over patient care upon arrival.” He was then flown to Phoenix Children’s Hospital for treatment.
Us Weekly later confirmed with the Chandler Police Department that the child involved was indeed Emilie’s son, Trigg. In a statement to the outlet, police added, “The investigation into the circumstances surrounding this incident remains ongoing. This is still an open investigation. Out of respect for the family’s privacy, we will not be releasing additional details until the investigation is closed.”
In July 2025, Emilie successfully petitioned to have the graphic details of Trigg’s final moments excluded from the police report on his death. The Chandler Police Department redacted two pages from its report.
“The transcript on the disputed sections are not necessary for public accountability,” Judge Christopher Whitten wrote in a brief, according to E! News, in August 2025. “Its disclosure would serve no purpose other than satisfying morbid curiosity.”
