Tyreek Hill’s eight-month-old daughter was taken to the emergency room after she showed symptoms of being ill Wednesday night in Miami, according to his estranged ex-wife, Keeta Vaccaro.
Vaccaro, who filed for divorce from the Dolphins All-Pro wideout on April 8 following a domestic dispute, explained that she was scared when her daughter, Capri, began feeling lethargic and called Dr. Jared Friedman, a members-only concierge emergency pediatrician in Miami, who helped facilitate speedy care. Capri is doing much better as of Thursday, Vaccaro said.
“Last night was scary, Capri started feeling warm, super sleepy, and just not herself,” Vaccaro wrote Thursday on Instagram, where she posted an image of Capri sitting on a hospital bed in a medical gown. “I called @drjaredmiami, and within minutes, he had us straight into the ER with an incredible team waiting for us. Blood work, viral panels, cultures, done swiftly and gently.
“So grateful for the kind of care that shows up at late night and gets things handled. She’s doing much better today ???? Thank you, @drjaredmiami ????????.”
Vaccaro, who was wearing a mask over her nose and mouth in the photo, also included screengrabs of text messages between herself and Dr. Friedman.
When she asked for the address to the pediatric ER entrance, Friedman replied, “They valet for free. Registration and Charge Nurse (Ana) is waiting for you. An Joel (Nurse) will take care of you. Everyone is are. Blood and urine with cultures snd viral panel. We got this. We are a Team!
“Will follow at home. We got this. Whatever you need.”
Vaccaro did not share further details about Capri’s condition.
The Dolphins said Hill missed practice Wednesday due to an “undisclosed injury.”
He was later seen boarding the team’s private plane to Chicago for their first preseason game of 2025 against the Bears.
Hill smiled and flashed a peace sign while getting on the plane, as seen in a video posted to the Dolphins’ official X account.
Vaccaro filed for divorce on April 8, calling her marriage to Hill “irretrievably broken” — a day after police responded to a domestic dispute at their Miami residence, during which Capri was present.
Vaccaro’s mother, Alesia Vaccaro, called 911 because she feared for her daughter’s safety, she said, after seeing a “very aggressive and impulsive” Hill throw a laptop on the floor and walk toward the 35-floor balcony with her granddaughter, according to an incident report.
Police made no arrests and said their daughter appeared to be in good health.
The Dolphins said in a statement that they were in communication with Hill — who has been the subject of trade rumors throughout the offseason — at the time.
During a practice in May, Hill told reporters that he attended church and therapy weeks prior.
“My job is just to be a great father to all of my kids and be the best player I can be and be the best leader I can be for these guys in this locker room, man,” Hill said. “So, I’m going to stand strong on that and I’m going to stand firm on that.”
The next month, Hill was spotted holding hands with an unnamed woman during a pool day in Orlando.
Hill and Vaccaro married during the Dolphins’ bye week in November 2023. They featured in the first season of Netflix’s “WAGs to Riches,” which premiered in January.
