Patriots tight end Eli Raridon’s son dies in tragic reveal

New England tight end Eli Raridon and his spouse Anna are mourning their newborn child, Peter James, who passed away less than a month after birth. The infant had been diagnosed at the twenty-week pregnancy milestone with anencephaly, an incurable birth defect preventing proper skull and brain maturation.

The couple tied the knot in the spring of 2025 and shared the heartbreaking news through a joint social media statement. Raridon, who entered the league as a third-round selection out of Notre Dame in the recent draft, missed the team's latest fixture due to a thigh issue after scoring in the season opener.
