In Friday’s more than two-minute long TikTok video, Kayla suggested she was left speechless.
“You know, honestly, I don’t have much to say,” Kayla said in her first video posted to the social media platform in 2026.

“Alex and I are just trying to get through it every day. Every day is so different for us right now and I really don’t have the words.”
Kayla also expressed gratitude for the support she and her husband received in the weeks and months following the tragic loss.

“It felt good to come here and say ‘thank you,'” he said. “I’m really grateful for your community and just expressing your support and love for us. It’s really given us a lot of comfort during this.”
Alex and Kayla have been married since 2024. They shared the news that they were expecting their first baby together in April 2025. In the following months, they posted several photos on social media documenting the pregnancy.

Shortly before last year’s World Series, the relief pitcher left the team and did not pitch again in any game of the seven-game series.
The Dodgers issued a statement at the time saying that Vesia was handling a “deeply personal matter” that would require him to spend an undisclosed amount of time away from the team.

Kayla’s TikTok video also noted that she wasn’t sure what her “content will look like in the future,” adding, “But I do want to share my journey.
“I don’t know how much I’m going to share. I don’t know. I don’t know the details, but I do know what I want to share, and if it can help someone who is going through the same thing feel like they’re not alone,” he said.
Alex finished 2024 with 68 regular season appearances and pitched in seven postseason games. The Dodgers defeated the Toronto Blue Jays in seven games to win the 2025 World Series, clinching the title for the second consecutive season.
