Caleb Plant and his previous partner, Carmen Jean Briscoe-Lee were parents to the late Alia Jean Plant. This was when Plant was just starting out in his professional boxing career. Unfortunately for the young couple, the baby passed away in just nineteen months as a result of a rare medical condition.
Alia’s brief time on earth was a tumultuous affair as she had over a hundred seizures every day. “I had her blood sent off to do over 50,000 tests at Vanderbilt Children’s Hospital, which is probably the most prestigious children’s hospital in the world. Everything came back negative,” Plant had revealed at the time. Alia Jean was in a state of intense suffering as she “was on life support five different times” and “had to sleep with oxygen” every night.
Recalling the heartrending death of his child in 2015, in an interview, he revealed, “I got to sit there with her and she took her last breath. January 29 at 10:55. And yeah, I just sat there with her for a long while and my father was right there by my side the whole time.”
