Alex Vesia was absent from the Dodgers' World Series victory parade in Los Angeles on Monday, November 3, due to a deeply personal family matter, PEOPLE confirmed. The team had announced that Vesia would be taking time off ahead of the World Series last month.
“He’s such a big part of why we’re here in the first place,” Dodgers' Will Klein said, expressing support for Vesia in an interview after Game 7 on Saturday, November 1.
The entire Dodgers organization sent thoughts to the Vesia family and promised to provide updates later regarding the situation.
The couple had been sharing updates about their growing family on social media until the recent pause coinciding with the family situation.
Despite the joy of a World Series win, Alex Vesia prioritized family over public celebrations, highlighting his commitment to personal responsibilities during challenging times.
