Another disturbing chapter has unfolded in the life of "90 Day Fiancé" alum Eric Rosenbrook, who was reportedly arrested over the July 4th weekend for allegedly slapping a woman believed to be his wife, Leida Rosenbrook, while she was holding their baby daughter.
The alleged incident occurred on the Fourth of July in Adams, Wisconsin.
Now, days later, it is being reported that Eric Rosenbrook's newborn has passed away.

“It destroys me and shatters my world to announce that over the weekend tragedy has struck,” Rosenbrook wrote in a Facebook post on Thursday, July 10. “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.”
“I do not want well wishes or questions,” he added. “I will not answer anything, read or reply. I ask just for prayers for her.”
Leida appeared to deactivate her Instagram account shortly after the incident, but not before sharing a heartfelt request for prayers for her daughter.
“Dear God… You can take away my life, but do not take away my daughter’s life…” Leida reportedly wrote, per Us Weekly, on Saturday, July 5. “She just born… And God… If this is going to be my lesson to appreciate life since I’ve been struggling with suicidal thoughts then take away my trauma… Help. Me. Find. Peace. Help. Me. Forgive.”
The death of baby Alisa comes after Rosenbrook was arrested in Adams, Wisconsin, for domestic battery and domestic disorderly conduct.
Rosenbrook Booked For Battery After Reportedly Striking Wife Holding Child
According to TMZ, the woman, whose name has not been officially released but is assumed to be Leida, reportedly told police that Rosenbrook had been drinking when he left to get food and didn’t return for some time. Eventually, she found him passed out in his car outside their apartment and recorded a video of the scene before waking him up.
When Rosenbrook came inside, the woman claimed she was holding their baby and told him he could not take the child due to his intoxicated state. That’s when, according to the report, he allegedly slapped her while she was still cradling the baby.

When speaking with TMZ, Rosenbrook confirmed the incident, stating he did, in fact, hit her while she was holding their child, but emphasized that the child was not harmed. He also revealed that the altercation has led to a breakup between him and the victim.
The woman reportedly told police that the abuse has been ongoing since the couple wed in 2018 after meeting on season six of the TLC reality series. Leida filed for divorce last year, though that filing was later withdrawn, according to the outlet.
Rosenbrook Previously Admitted To Hair-Pulling Incident In 2019 Domestic Dispute
This isn’t the first time "90 Day Fiancé" star Rosenbrook has faced allegations of domestic violence. Back in January 2019, Rosenbrook was involved in a disturbing altercation with his wife, Leida, that prompted a police response in Baraboo, Wisconsin.
According to reports and text messages later shared publicly, Leida claimed Eric had pulled her hair so hard it scratched her scalp, grabbed both of her wrists, and physically forced her into a corner during a heated argument. At the time, she also alleged he had grabbed her after she threatened self-harm with a knife.

Eric Rosenbrook Reflects On 2019 Incident
He admitted to physically intervening to wrestle a knife away from her, explaining that his “training took over” and he acted on instinct.
“Leida and I had an altercation,” he said. “She was threatening self-harm. I wrestled a knife from her. But my training took over, it triggered my training... and I went too far. Nothing serious was caused, other than emotional trauma, which is severe.”
