"The couple began their statement by revealing their daughter's name: Sterling Sol Vesia. "Our little angel we love you forever & you're with us always," they wrote. "Our beautiful daughter went to heaven Sunday October 26th. 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.""
"Vesia and Kayla went on to thank the Dodgers for supporting them during this difficult time. "Our baseball family showed up for us and we wouldn't be able to do this without them," they said. The two also expressed their gratitude to all Dodger fans and the Toronto Blue Jays, whom the Los Angeles team defeated in a seven-game series to claim a second-straight World Series title. They added, "We have seen ALL your messages, comments and posts. It's brought us so much comfort.""
"Fans started sending the family well wishes on Oct. 23 when the Dodgers announced that Vesia was taking time away from the team. "It's with a heavy heart that we share that Alex Vesia is away from the team as he and his wife Kayla navigate a deeply personal family matter," the Dodgers said in an Instagram statement at the time. "The entire Dodgers organization is sending our thoughts to the Vesia family, and we will provide an update at a later date.""
On Nov. 7, Vesia and Kayla uploaded a joint Instagram post announcing the death of their newborn daughter, Sterling Sol Vesia, who died on Sunday, October 26. The couple wrote, "Our little angel we love you forever & you're with us always," and said they hold her in their hearts and cherish every second they had with her. They did not provide further details about the death. They thanked the Los Angeles Dodgers, Dodger fans, the Toronto Blue Jays, Cedars-Sinai and medical staff for support. The post included a black-and-white photo of a baby's fingers wrapped around two hands. Vesia had been away from the team during the World Series.
