It's a heartbreaking night for 90 Day Fiancé stars Eric Rosenbrook and Leida Margaretha, as the couple is mourning the loss of their newborn daughter, Alisa Eleanor Rosenbrook. The couple's despair follows a troubled time of Friday tension, which has led to a tragedy that has turned their lives upside down.
Eric posted on Facebook on July 10 that baby Alisa had died after five days on life support. "It destroys me and shatters my world to announce that over the weekend, tragedy has struck," he wrote. "Yesterday at 12:53 PM, after 5 days on life support, my beloved daughter, little Alisa Eleanor Rosenbrook, slipped the surely bonds to join her grandfather Tom."
The sad update comes on the heels of Eric's recent arrest for a domestic dispute with Leida that occurred on the Fourth of July, which has caused an added layer of complexity and public intrusion on the couple's pain. Nonetheless, Eric wanted to clarify that he wasn't asking for sympathy or understanding, just a small ask for prayers in remembrance of his daughter.

Leida, who has been open about her own mental health struggles in the past, made a raw and emotional show of support on social media shortly after Alisa was admitted to the hospital. In a since-deleted post on Instagram that she wrote on July 5, she expressed her pain: "Dear God… You can take away my life, but do not take away my daughter's life…" In her desperate plea for help, she not only expressed the depth of her love for Alisa but also the weight of her own personal burdens.
Alisa's death has left a massive hole for both parents. Eric, who shares three daughters, Tannile, Tasha, and Jennica, from a previous marriage, and Leida, who is also the mother of son Alessandro, knows a thing or two about raising kids. But this loss represents a deep and personal spiritual injury that words can scarcely convey. In a rare moment in the increasingly dramatic world of reality TV that consumes headlines, this is a moment that strips everything away, back to the bare human experience of loss and longing. For Eric and Leida, it's their actual, painful life. As the couple veers through this kind of unimaginable grief, fans and followers have only one thing to give in return: silent prayers for healing and rest.
