Trisha Paytas has been at the centre of an internet conspiracy after announcing her three children
A YouTube sensation has become the focal point of an online conspiracy frenzy after disclosing her three pregnancies.
Trisha Paytas is an American YouTuber and vocalist who shot to stardom from 2010 through her digital presence. Building her reputation via her YouTube channel featuring vlogs, mukbangs (food content) and additional blogs, she’s also featured on reality television programmes including Celebrity Big Brother.
The personality has amassed an enormous online fanbase across all her social media, producing her own musical content alongside podcasts such as Dish With Trish. Some supporters might also recall her from her short stint on Modern Family.
However, she’s got internet forums buzzing following her revelation of her children, with views appearing split on whether she might be truthful. In 2022, Trisha shared the joyful announcement of her first child’s arrival, revealing her name as Malibu Barbie.
The celebrity and her husband subsequently welcomed their second daughter in 2024, named Elvis Paytas-Hacmon. This year brought further delightful news as their third child, a son, was born, reports OK!.
Breaking the news, Trisha posted on TikTok: “AQUAMAN MOSES PAYTAS-HACMON HAS ARRIVED 07.12.25. Thank you for all the well wishes and fun videos guessing his name. It was so cute and made us feel so loved. Such a positive space bringing him into the world.”
Fans are split over whether the names could be genuine. One individual remarked: “Hot take she’s coming up with fake names to protect her children’s identities and all of the personalised stuff is just for the camera.”
Trisha herself posted a TikTok video, stating: “The internet is very, very divisive on it. Now obviously I really don’t care, I shared the name with the world. It’s his legal name, it’s on his birth certificate.”
She also confirmed that Elvis and Malibu were the names she had chosen for her children since she was a “little kid”, but the third name came as a surprise. Discussing her attraction to the name Aquaman, she said: “If you know anything about me, you know I had a little Aquaman phase back in 2017, 2018.”
She continued: “Obviously, Jason Mamoa is attractive so you think like, oh, that’s why you would go, but I truly feel like I was drawn to Aquaman specifically because of my baby.”
Conspiracy
An internet conspiracy quickly emerged as fans suggested that Trisha’s children might be reincarnations of famous figures. This theory arose after each pregnancy announcement coincided with the death or health issues of a notable figure, including Queen Elizabeth and Ozzy Osbourne.
However, Trisha herself took to TikTok to address the rumours. Just a fortnight after giving birth to baby Aquaman, she said: “I know reincarnation theories about my babies is just like a meme, it’s just what the internet does, but I’m not gonna lie, being 12 days postpartum sometimes make you feel a little cookoo.
“I’m like, wait, why does the internet keep wanting to put souls into my baby? First of all, reincarnation is only one soul into one baby, if you believe in that. Second of all, you guys, the baby is born I don’t know much about reincarnation, I just know that the soul has to be passed along.”
She added: “The queen okay kinda funny because its like the queen, I guess 100 years, Pope Francis uhhh okay, but like you guys Ozzy has like real family, he is such an icon.
“It’s more real, Ozzy’s more real. There’s real family and people involved…….. and then everyone else passing away, it’s not my uterus doing it….it makes me feel bad like I’ve done something wrong you know.”
