The YouTuber Trisha Paytas has responded after the social media was flooded with viral videos about the so-called Trisha Paytas baby theory. Paytas’ video has already been viewed more than six million times.
Newsweek has contacted Paytas for comment.
What Is The Trisha Paytas Baby Theory?
The original social media theory emerged in September 2022 when Queen Elizabeth II died at the age of 96.
At the time, social media users took note that in the hours that preceded the death of the longest-reigning monarch in British history, Paytas—a nonbinary YouTube sensation—had announced that they had gone into labor with their first child.
Then, social media users decided that Paytas’ child was the reincarnation of the monarch.
This theory has only continued gaining traction over the years.
When Paytas announced their third pregnancy, it coincided with the announcement that Pope Francis had died, sparking theories that their child would be the reincarnation of the pope. Paytas, addressing the theory on her podcast at the time, said, “I just don’t get it.”
Then, the theory entered a new era when Paytas announced that their third child had been born. Paytas announced the birth of their son, Aquaman Moses, on July 12, 2025. The announcement coincided with news of the death of heavy metal legend and Black Sabbath frontman Ozzy Osbourne, leading social media users to believe that Paytas’ new baby is the reincarnation of Osbourne.
What To Know
On July 28, Paytas shared a video on TikTok addressing the rumors.
The video has the text overlay “What plays in my head 12 days postpartum and the internet won’t stop with the reincarnation conspiracies,” and is set to the song “Crazy Train,” Osbourne’s debut solo single, which was released in 1987.
The TikTok is captioned, “my baby is just a baby y’all,” and as of press time, has been liked over a million times.
Paytas shares their children with Moses Hacmon. The two welcomed a daughter named Malibu Barbie, who was born in 2022. They later welcomed their second child, a daughter named Elvis, on May 24, 2024. Their third child, Aquaman Moses, was born on July 12, 2025. Paytas announced his birth in an Instagram post on July 22.
What People Are Saying
Indigo Stafford, the entertainment journalist who runs the pop culture news page IndigoReports, previously told Newsweek: ” I think the internet is so obsessed with this theory because of how invested we are in Trisha Paytas as fans. She has become an internet sensation and almost a head of state for the chronically online (people who consume a lot of social media). She is known for being her real, raw, and authentic self online. And people love her unfiltered sense of dark humour.
And that’s ultimately what the Trisha Paytas baby conspiracy is! It’s a bit of online dark humour that’s possibly gone too far, but that brings us some light relief in uncertain times – just like Trisha does.”
What’s Next
Paytas recently shared on her podcast, Just Trish, that she will not be having more children.
