Emilie Kiser has spoken about her family’s relationship with her husband Brady, following the tragic death of their three-year-old son Trigg.
Seven months ago, Trigg died in the family’s backyard pool while home with Brady, 28. Emilie, 26, was out with her friends at the time.
In the comments section of Emilie’s most recent TikTok video, one follower asked: “How does your family deal with your husband? Are they polite? Are they angry?

“What are their feelings? They probably don’t even show their feelings.”
While many fans jumped to her defence and branded the comment “unnecessary”, Emilie decided to tackle the question head-on.
“My entire family loves him so much. If anything their unwavering love for him and Trigg, is something that has helped us so much to come together as a family,” she replied.
The couple also share an eight-month-old son, Theodore.

Trigg Kiser, who featured heavily on his mum’s TikTok and Instagram videos, was found unconscious in the backyard pool of the family’s home in Arizona on May 12.
Emilie wasn’t home at the time of the incident, but her husband Brady was home with Trigg and their younger son.
Brady reportedly lost sight of Trigg while caring for their newborn.
Police reports allege that Brady placed a $25 sports bet on an NBA playoff game around the time of the incident.
According to the police report, Trigg tripped and fell into the water while playing with an inflatable chair.
He was unsupervised in the backyard for nine minutes, seven of which he was in the water, according to investigators.

When Brady discovered his son at the bottom of the pool, he placed his newborn son down and dove in to retrieve him before immediately commencing CPR. He then called emergency services.
When police arrived at the scene, they took over CPR and Brady was said to be “thoroughly freaking out” and “extremely distraught”.
At one point, Brady called Emilie and was said to be “inconsolable” on the phone as he told her what happened and that she needed to come home.
Emilie, who was said to be at a taco restaurant near their home, was driven straight to the hospital by a friend to meet her son.
The toddler was rushed to hospital in a critical condition and sadly died on May 18, which was confirmed by the Maricopa County medical examiner.
In a lengthy emotional statement posted to Instagram, Emilie later reminded parents to “watch your children at all times”, adding that “no amount of supervision is too much or ‘helicopter parenting'”. (Instagram/@EmilieKiser)
The family pool had a pool cover which was not on at the time of the incident as the pool was due for a service the next day, per the report.
A child abuse charge against Brady Kiser was recommended by Chandler Police but this was rejected by Maricopa County Attorney Rachel Mitchell.
In a lengthy emotional statement posted to Instagram, Emilie later reminded parents to “watch your children at all times”, adding that “no amount of supervision is too much or ‘helicopter parenting'”.
She urged parents to enrol kids in swimming classes and asked people to ensure they have a proper physical barrier like a fence around their pool.
In Australia, pool fences are required by law, with different states having different standards and requirements.
“Please take every precaution possible around water with your children,” Kiser wrote.
“Drowning is quick and preventable.”
Emilie said she took “full accountability” for her son’s death, in a statement shared online in August, saying “one of the hardest lessons I carry is that a permanent pool fence could have saved his life”.
