Though Trisha Paytas has dropped enough of her lore on the internet to keep us entertained for nearly two decades, her name is currently trending for the weirdest reason. As the social media personality announced that she had welcomed her third baby, Aquaman Moses Paytas-Hacman, on July 22, reports surfaced that rock music legend Ozzy Osbourne tragically passed away at the age of 76.
Naturally, the internet lost it due to the mere coincidence. If you’re confused, allow us to break down how people landed on that bizarre theory in the first place. Here is the Trisha Paytas baby theory, explained.
What is the Trisha Paytas baby theory, and when did it begin?
In case you’re not familiar with Trisha, she gained a massive following of more than 10 million TikTok followers and 5 million YouTube subscribers thanks to her stint on reality shows like America’s Got Talent and Celebrity Big Brother U.K. and hours worth of meme-worthy YouTube mukbangs. She has truly lived many different lives in the constantly swinging pendulum of culture, and her chronically online devotees are convinced that her three children have also lived past lives since she seemingly gave birth every time a prominent historical figure passed away.
The strange theory started when Trisha welcomed her firstborn, Malibu Barbie, nearly a week after Queen Elizabeth II had died in September 2022. She gave birth to another daughter, Elvis, in May 2024. Though Elvis technically wasn’t born when it happened, people kept the bit going when they tied her birth to Pope Francis’s death on April 21, 2025.
Coincidentally, it happened again when the Black Sabbath musician Ozzy Osbourne died on July 22, the same day Trisha announced her baby, Aquaman, was born on July 12.
What is Trisha Paytas’ connection to Ozzy Osbourne?
Technically, she doesn’t really have one. However, fans pointed out that Jason Momoa (the actor who plays the DC superhero Trisha’s baby is named after) hosted Ozzy’s final performance with Black Sabbath on July 5, just weeks before his death.
Has Trisha Paytas spoken about her baby theory?
Yep. The social media personality broke her silence on April 22, 2025, when her name was trending online following Pope Francis’s death. She reacted to the news in real time with her Just Trish podcast co-host, Oscar Gracey, who revealed that the internet has a theory that Trisha is a vessel for prominent public figures to reincarnate after they’ve passed away.
“I just don’t get it,” Trisha said. “Is it just any influential person that dies gets to come reincarnated as my baby?”
Oscar explained that the online theories typically pointed to “historic people in power” being reincarnated as her children. Trisha then playfully retorted, “I don’t understand why my womb is carrying all of these souls.”
