Story summary
Eli Raridon, a tight end for the New England Patriots, and his wife Anna Raridon announced on Instagram that their newborn son, Peter James Raridon, born on September 11th, passed away shortly after birth. The couple learned during Anna's 20-week anatomy scan in pregnancy that Peter had been diagnosed with anencephaly, a fatal condition where parts of the brain and skull do not fully develop, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). This rare condition typically results in death shortly after birth or even before delivery. Despite the tragic outcome, Eli and Anna expressed gratitude for having loved their son deeply during his brief life. Peter was their first child together; they had married in spring 2025 before announcing the pregnancy later that year.
