I knew immediately, before he even said anything, that something was wrong,&#8221; Emilie continued. &#8220;So I rushed to the hospital to be by my son&#8217;s side, and our life just completely changed that day. And he passed away about a week later &#8230; Our whole world fell apart.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">Looking back, Emilie said her body went into &#8220;fight or flight mode&#8221; in the immediate aftermath of the drowning incident.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">&#8220;The only thing that was going through my mind was just that I wanted [Trigg] to be okay, that I wanted my old life back, that I wanted him to have his life back. I mean, it&#8217;s what he deserves,&#8221; she told Shetty, 38. &#8220;You can&#8217;t even describe that feeling of when when your child passes away from a preventable accident, a preventable tragedy. All that&#8217;s going through your mind is, &#8216;Where did I go wrong? Where did we go wrong? How did this happen?

She admitted she &#8220;felt so angry at him&#8221; in the beginning of her grief and grappled with the possibility that their marriage could end. However, she eventually came to the realization that she could have been the one at home with their kids that night.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">&#8220;This could have just as easily been me in Brady&#8217;s position. Brady was taking care of our newborn child. When I left for dinner that night, he was de-thawing my breast milk, trying to get Teddy settled, a 5-week-old baby,&#8221; Emilie shared.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">&#8220;That doesn&#8217;t excuse anything. It doesn&#8217;t excuse what happened. It doesn&#8217;t excuse any of the series of events after that,&#8221; she continued. &#8220;But taking that accountability, along with all the other things I know I could have changed, gave me so much true, deep, real, raw empathy for him of, this could have been me &#8230; I would so deeply want him to forgive me and to know that I didn&#8217;t mean for it to happen.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">Read the original article on <a rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/people.com\/emilie-kiser-recalls-the-chilling-call-she-got-from-husband-brady-after-late-son-trigg-3-fell-in-backyard-pool-12000803\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" data-ylk=\"elm:link;elmt:article_link;slk:People;itc:0;sec:content-canvas\" data-yga=\"{&quot;yLinkElement&quot;:&quot;context_link&quot;,&quot;yModuleName&quot;:&quot;content-canvas&quot;,&quot;yLinkText&quot;:&quot;People&quot;}\" class=\"link \">People<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><em> \u2018 The preceding article may include information circulated by third parties \u2019 <\/em><\/p>\n<p><em> \u2018 Some details of this article were extracted from the following source www.yahoo.com \u2019 <\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>NEED TO KNOW Emilie Kiser opened up about her late 3-year-old son, Trigg, on Jay Shetty&#8217;s On Purpose podcast on June 17, over a year after the toddler&#8217;s fatal drowning incident in May 2025 During the interview, the influencer \u2014\u00a0who was not home at the time when Trigg fell in their backyard pool \u2014 recalled [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":2464027,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"om_disable_all_campaigns":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_access":"","_jetpack_dont_email_post_to_subs":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_tier_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paywalled_content":false,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"jnews-multi-image_gallery":[],"jnews_single_post":[],"jnews_primary_category":[],"jnews_social_meta":[],"footnotes":""},"categories":[25177],"tags":[412101,315915,389716,389713,355523,389714],"class_list":["post-2464026","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-celebrities","tag-backyard-pool","tag-brady","tag-brady-kiser","tag-emilie","tag-jay-shetty","tag-trigg"],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"https:\/\/celebrity.land\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/Emilie-Kiser-Recalls-the-Chilling-Call-She-Got-from-Husband.jpeg","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/celebrity.land\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2464026","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/celebrity.land\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/celebrity.land\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/celebrity.land\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/celebrity.land\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=2464026"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/celebrity.land\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2464026\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":2464028,"href":"https:\/\/celebrity.land\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2464026\/revisions\/2464028"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/celebrity.land\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/2464027"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/celebrity.land\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=2464026"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/celebrity.land\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=2464026"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/celebrity.land\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=2464026"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
