Emilie Kiser's Brother Breaks Silence After Death of 3-Year-Old Nephew
Originally appeared on E! Online
Emilie Kiser's family continues to mourn the death of her son Trigg.
The influencer's brother Nick Espinosa appeared to address his nephew's passing while reflecting on the fleeting nature of life weeks after the 3-year-old's passing.
'Life will always throw you a curveball,' Nick, whose Instagram has since been made private, said in a voiceover as he got into his car and went for a leisurely drive. 'One day, everything feels aligned. You're making progress, chasing purpose, moving forward. Then just like that, everything changes.'
After the screen cut to black, Nick reemerged sitting on the hood of his vehicle with his head in his hands, then proceeded to toss stones towards a hiking trail. As the video, which has since been shared to TikTok, played, the content creator seemingly alluded to his family tragedy, referencing 'a call you never saw coming' and 'a goodbye you didn't get to say.'

'Don't wait for the world to remind you how fragile this life is,' he continued. 'Put the phone down. Go touch grass. Spend time with the people you love.'
Local authorities confirmed Trigg died May 18 at Phoenix Children's Hospital in Arizona, six days after he was pulled from a backyard pool at his family's home, NBC affiliate KPNX reported. Chandler Police Department spokesperson Sonu Wasu subsequently confirmed her office was investigating the matter.
'Out of respect for the family's privacy,' Wasu told E! News May 19, 'we will not be releasing additional details until the investigation is closed.'
Emilie—who also shares son Theodore, 2 months, with husband Brady Kiser—later filed a lawsuit against several public offices in Maricopa County, Ariz., in an effort to keep details of the toddler's passing private, according to documents obtained by NBC News May 29. Noting that the 26-year-old is already experiencing 'a parent's worst nightmare,' the filing argued that making the records public would invade her family's privacy.
'The records requested presumably reveal graphic, distressing, and intimate details of Trigg's death that have no bearing on government accountability,' the legal action read. 'To allow disclosure in these circumstances would be to turn Arizona's Public Records Law into a weapon of emotional harm, rather than a tool of government transparency.'

Pop singer Jessie J says she has been diagnosed with early breast cancer
NEW YORK -- The English pop singer Jessie J says she has been diagnosed with breast cancer and will undergo surgery after her performance at the London music festival Capital's Summertime Ball next weekend. Jessie J, 37, shared the news in an Instagram video on Wednesday. 'I was diagnosed with early breast cancer,' she said in the clip. 'Cancer sucks in any form, but I'm holding onto the word 'early'." 'It's a very dramatic way to get a boob job. I am going to disappear for a bit after Summertime Ball to have my surgery, and I will come back with massive (expletive) and more music.' The annual Summertime Ball will be held at Wembley Stadium on Sunday, June 15. She told her social media audience that she felt compelled to share her diagnosis. 'I just wanted to be open and share it,' she said. 'One, because, selfishly, I do not talk about it enough. I'm not processing it because I'm working so hard. I also know how much sharing in the past has helped me with other people giving me their love and support and also their own stories. I'm an open book. It breaks my heart that so many people are going through so much similar and worse – that's the bit that kills me.' The Grammy-nominated Jessie J has long been celebrated for her robust soprano and R&B-informed pop hits, like the 2014 collaboration with Nicki Minaj and Ariana Grande, 'Bang Bang,' and 2011's 'Domino.' She has released five albums across her career, most recently, 2018's Christmas album, 'This Christmas Day.' She has been releasing new music in 2025, including the singles 'Living My Best Life' and 'No Secrets.' A new album is expected later this year. She has a son, Sky Safir Cornish Colman, born in 2023.

Meghan Markle shares rare glimpse of daughter Lili's face in birthday photo
Princess Lilibet, the youngest child of Prince Harry and Meghan, the Duchess of Sussex, is 4! Lilibet, who goes by Lili, was born June 4, 2021, at Santa Barbara Cottage Hospital in Santa Barbara, California, making her the first senior royal baby born in the United States and the first of the late Queen Elizabeth II's great-grandchildren to be born outside of the United Kingdom. Meghan marked her daughter's fourth birthday by sharing several photos on Instagram, including a current photo showing a rare glimpse of Lili's face and a throwback photo from Lili's birth. "Happy birthday to our beautiful girl! Four years ago today she came into our lives - and each day is brighter and better because of it. Thanks to all of those sending love and celebrating her special day!" Meghan captioned the photos. In a second post, Meghan shared two photos of Harry and Lili together, writing of their father-daughter relationship, "The sweetest bond to watch unfold 💕Daddy's little girl and favorite adventurer. Happy birthday Lili!" In addition to Lili, Harry and Meghan are also the parents of a son, Archie, who turned 6 in May. The family of four lives in Montecito, California, where they moved in 2020 after Harry and Meghan stepped away from their senior royal roles and left the United Kingdom. Meghan has shared details of the family's life in California on her Netflix show "With Love, Meghan," which premiered in March. "Lili and I actually made this batch [of preserves] together," she tells friends in one of the show's episodes, adding that Lili feels "proud" helping her. "She picked all those berries with me, and then she's like, 'No, no, Mama, I'll do it.' And she wants to try. She's like, 'I'll stir it. I'll mash it.'" Lili was also featured earlier this year alongside Meghan in a promotional photo for Meghan's lifestyle brand, As Ever. Last year, Harry told ABC News' Will Reeve that both Lili and Archie were doing "great" and "growing up very, very fast." "They both have got an incredible sense of humor and make us laugh and keep us grounded every single day, like most kids do," he said at the time. "I'm just very grateful to be a dad."

Ground beef sold at Whole Foods may be tainted with E. coli, USDA says
U.S. agriculture officials are warning that ground beef sold at Whole Foods markets nationwide may be contaminated with potentially dangerous E. coli bacteria. Officials issued a public health alert for 1-pound, vacuum-packed packages of Organic Rancher beef, produced on May 22 and May 23, by NPC Processing Inc., of Shelburne, Vermont. The products have use-by dates of June 19 and June 20. The U.S. Food Safety and Inspection Service did not request a recall because the products are no longer available for purchase. However, they may still be in consumers' refrigerators or freezers. The meat was produced in Australia or Uruguay and processed in the U.S. It was sent to distributors in Connecticut, Georgia, Illinois and Maryland and then to Whole Foods stores nationwide. The problem was discovered when company officials notified FSIS that they had shipped beef products that tested positive for E. coli O157:H7, a type of bacteria that can cause serious illness. To date, no illnesses linked to the product have been reported, officials said. Consumers who have the product should throw it away or return it to the store. E. coli bacteria can cause infections with symptoms that include dehydration, diarrhea and cramps. Most people recover within a week, but some people can become severely ill and develop a dangerous kidney condition. Children under age 5 and older adults are most at risk.
