Influencer Nicole Faith Shares Tragic Update About Her Newborn Daughter

Influencer Nicole Faith is facing an unimaginable heartbreak after sharing that her baby girl, Sunny, was stillborn earlier this month, a loss that has left her and husband Taylor Symmank, a former NFL player, grieving the future they were preparing for in real time. Faith had been documenting a season of joy leading up to the delivery, with followers watching her pregnancy unfold as she and Symmank built toward life as a family of three. But in a devastating turn, Nicole Faith revealed she went to the hospital on New Year's Day and gave birth on January 3, and that her daughter did not survive.

The announcement has sparked an outpouring of support online, as fans and fellow moms flooded her page with condolences, prayers, and messages meant to offer comfort during an experience so many describe as impossible to put into words.

Faith's post also included a carousel of emotional hospital photos, showing her and Symmank holding their daughter, alongside images of loved ones rallying around them in the midst of the tragedy. "Our sweet Sunny girl has died," Faith wrote in the caption. "I wish I could soften the words to make them palatable, but I cannot dull this heartache."

Faith, who was eight months pregnant, explained that she went to the hospital on New Year's Day and delivered on January 3. In her post, she wrote that she delivered her daughter "into the arms of Jesus."

"We are aching in a way that knows no bounds, we yearn for our Sunny girl," she continued. "I long to see her arms reach out to me, to hear her cries in the night. I carry the weight of postpartum without my baby, and a room set up for her that carries only silence."

Faith also shared the questions she and Symmank are grappling with as they try to process what happened, writing, "don't understand why this has happened, medically or spiritually. We may never, but we feel the presence of God in the details while we wrestle with the many 'whys' of this tragedy."

Calling Sunny a "miracle," Faith wrote, "She was life. She was our legacy. She was God's promise. And somehow, even now, in a way I cannot yet fathom, she still is," adding that she and Symmank would do "anything" to hold their daughter again, writing, "Anything to see her in her tiny onesies and experience this life with her. But it seems the only place worthy of Sunny is heaven."

In the same post, Faith thanked the people who showed up and stayed close during the days that followed, writing, "praying for us for three days, that sat outside our door all night, that filled our fridge and pantry, that have sent us meals, and everyone that has breathed Sunny's name in prayer."

Faith concluded, "We have so much more to say," adding, "But for now, we miss you desperately Sunny girl."

In the comments, followers and fellow creators quickly filled Nicole Faith's post with messages of grief, prayers, and reminders that she and Taylor aren't alone in the heartbreak.

One person wrote, "When one mom mourns, we all mourn. I am so incredibly sorry for your loss. I'm praying for you and your family," as another shared a message specifically naming the family, writing, "My heart breaks for you, for Taylor, for Sunny. This is tragic, and I'm so sorry you're navigating the unfathomable. May Sunny continue to shine a bright light from heaven as you grieve her loss."

Verified account Jake Havron also chimed in with a message of disbelief and support, commenting, "I don't even know how to comment on this because it's something I can't even fathom to experience… @itsemily & I will be praying over you and Taylor for Jesus' grace and peace."

Others echoed that same sentiment in shorter notes, including, "Our hearts are broken for you both. Praying for you as you walk through such a difficult time."

Faith and Symmank got married on November 22, 2024. The couple announced they were expecting on October 26 last year, sharing an Instagram post with a photo of them holding a sonogram. Faith had previously posted, "Humbled. Grateful. Honored. Baby girl due spring 2026," before later sharing the heartbreaking loss.
