They spent months dreaming of the happiest autumn of their lives… until October 26, 2025, when everything changed. Their baby girl, Sterling Sol Vesia, was born sleeping — a little angel who never opened her eyes, yet filled their hearts forever.

The photo of three hands — Alex’s, Kayla’s, and Sterling’s tiny one — spoke a truth no words could hold.
Fans later learned why Alex stepped away from the Dodgers. His teammates honored him, playing with his number 51 for Sterling.
Grief now lives quietly in Alex and Kayla’s days — the empty crib, unworn clothes, the dreams that never had a chance.
Yet through unimaginable pain, they shared gratitude… and the meaning of their daughter’s name: “Sterling” for purity, “Sol” for the sun — the light of their world.

Today, they move forward carrying her love, not her loss. Her life was brief… but her impact eternal.
