90 Day Fiancé’s Eric Rosenbrook Opens Up About Newborn Daughter’s Passing
Okay, so why does it feel different when a reality star faces a heartbreaking turn off camera. Eric Rosenbrook, known from 90 Day Fiancé, revealed on July 10 that he and his wife, Leida Margaretha, lost their newborn daughter after she spent five days on life support. In a candid Facebook post, he shared that little Alisa Eleanor Rosenbrook “slipped the earthly bonds to join her grandfather Tom” at 12:53 p.m. and asked fans for prayers instead of well wishes or questions.
This tragic update follows Leida’s earlier plea on Instagram, which has since been deleted, according to Us Weekly. On July 5 she posted a desperate message appealing to God not to take her daughter’s life and admitted she had been battling suicidal thoughts. The 36-year-old reality alum, who also has son Alessandro from a previous relationship, wrote, “Dear God… You can take away my life, but do not take away my daughter’s life… Help me find peace and forgive.” The post painted a raw portrait of a mother’s fear and grief as her newborn fought for survival.
The couple’s mourning comes on the heels of a public legal battle. Court documents obtained by TMZ reveal that Eric, 47, was charged with domestic battery and disorderly conduct in Wisconsin following a July 4 altercation with Leida. She reported finding him intoxicated and passed out in their car outside their apartment complex. According to a criminal complaint, Leida said she refused to hand over baby Alisa while he was drunk, which led to an argument when she tried to remove him from the vehicle. TMZ also reports that Eric confirmed to the outlet he did strike Leida during the dispute but insisted he never made contact with their infant daughter.
Eric’s post made clear he is already a father to three daughters—Tannile, Tasha, and Jennica—from a previous marriage. This new tragedy has him asking for privacy and prayers as he grapples with unimaginable loss. E! News reached out for comment from both Eric and Leida but has not yet received responses.
Fans who remember Eric and Leida’s journey from season six of 90 Day Fiancé will recall that they met online through an international dating site. Eric admitted in his show intro that he had nearly given up on romance after his divorce and was wary of being catfished by Leida, who had a background as a model, actress, and Miss Indonesia runner-up pursuing a medical career. Their relationship was never without its bumps, especially once Eric’s obligations to his three older daughters became a source of tension for Leida, who felt she wasn’t his priority.
As the couple navigates grief and legal fallout, their reality TV roots raise questions about what viewers may see next. Will their story continue on screen, and how will they move forward after such a profound loss. Anyway, that’s the deal. Do with it what you will.
