Is Trisha Paytas pregnant? Viral post debunked as comedian trends online following Charlie Kirk's death

YouTube creator, podcaster, comedian, actor, and singer, Trisha Paytas, is currently trending in the aftermath of Charlie Kirk’s death. On September 10, a post went viral on X that claimed Paytas was pregnant with her fourth child. It was uploaded by the parody account @imnotpopbase and had a picture of the influencer. The post's caption read:

“[breaking news emoji] Trisha Paytas announces that she is pregnant with her fourth child.”

However, the rumor is false. Trisha Paytas is not pregnant. She hasn’t shared any such news yet. As per People Magazine, in July 2025, after the birth of her third baby, Aquaman Moses, Paytas revealed it was her last child and she had her tubes removed for “health reasons.”

While the @imnotpopbase account didn't correlate Paytas with Kirk's death, it is noteworthy that the account is known for its satirical and fabricated content.

Regardless, social media users appeared to believe in the rumor and reignited the viral Trisha Paytas baby theory, linking it to Charlie Kirk’s demise. The theory links Trisha’s children to the deaths or health troubles of celebrities, calling them their reincarnation. For those unaware, the bizarre theory turned meme first surfaced in September 2022, around the time of Queen Elizabeth II’s death. At the time, netizens claimed that Trisha’s first baby, Malibu, was the monarch’s reincarnation.

On the first birthday of her second kid, Elvis, people linked her to Pope Francis in April 2025. Later, in July this year, around the time of English rocker Ozzy Osbourne’s demise, Trisha Paytas announced the arrival of her third child, Aquaman.

Now, amid Kirk’s assassination on Wednesday, the Paytas baby theory has resurfaced. However, it has no factual basis or credible source to support the same.

Exploring further the Trisha Paytas baby theory

In 2022, Trisha Paytas’ firstborn, Malibu Barbie Paytas-Hacmon, arrived six days after Queen Elizabeth II’s death on September 8. At the time, the internet theorized that the child was the late monarch’s reincarnation.

After the birth of her kid, the influencer took to TikTok and shared that she did "NOT rebirth the Queen of England." Paytas mentioned feeling “weird,” adding the jokes were in “poor taste.” She also apologized to the British royal family and slammed the internet by saying:

"I still don't get the correlation between the two."

Later, when King Charles III’s cancer diagnosis was announced in February 2024, Trisha was pregnant with her second child, Elvis Paytas-Hacmon. Back then, similar theories connected the unborn child to King Charles III.

That same month, the influencer joked on her Just Trish podcast:

"Sometimes — and I'm not even being funny — but sometimes I'm like, she [Malibu] does give me Queen Elizabeth vibes. She really does!"

This year, in April, Pope Francis died at 88. Netizens again came up with theories that the podcaster’s third unborn child (pregnancy was announced in March 2025) would be his reincarnation. Later, Trisha Paytas’ fans also discovered that her two-year-old daughter Malibu’s birthday, September 14, coincided with that of the new Pope Leo XIV.

If that wasn’t enough, they went another step forward and pointed out that the new Pope was chosen on May 8, the day of Paytas’ 37th birthday. Fellow content creator Adam McIntyre was among the first to make the observation.

At the time, Trisha Paytas, who was pregnant with her third baby, addressed the coincidence by posting two groaning emojis on her Instagram Stories alongside a screenshot of Pop Crave’s post sharing the coincidence, with the caption:

“This can’t be real, but it is.”

Paytas also took to her podcast and called them “unhinged online theories.” But she went along with the online suggestions and shared she might name her unborn third child, “Pope,” “Francis,” “Pope Francis,” or “Francis Pope,” as it would be a gender-neutral name. The singer also noted her father’s name was Francis.

Later, when the conspiracy theories continued to circulate online, Trisha Paytas asked everyone to “chill” and “leave my babies alone” in a TikTok video. She said:

"You guys... My womb is not that powerful... or is it? … I found out I was trending today live on Hot Topics, and I was like 'Nooooo' I tried to be just lowkey these days."

Paytas added:

“First of all, I’m months away from my due date, not even close this time. He’s not in the British monarchy. Is it just any influential person who dies gets to come reincarnated as my baby? That one I don't get ... the Pope is kind of far removed from Queen England. I don't understand why my womb is carrying all these souls.”

The comedian joked that she might have sung her 2017 song, I Love You Jesus, “a little too hard.”

However, she acknowledged that 88 was her “lucky number” as it was the year she was born, which coincidentally was the age of Pope Francis at the time of his death.

Earlier, during King Charles III’s cancer diagnosis, Trisha Paytas shared on her podcast that she got the “meme of it all” and was “able to lean into Queen Elizabeth a little bit.” However, it terrified her that “people believe in it enough.” She also explained that even though the timing was “crazy,” there was “no connection” between her and the bizarre online theories or deaths, or health battles of prominent public figures worldwide.

The most recent theory surrounding Paytas’ babies emerged in July 2025, around the time of Ozzy Osbourne’s death. Her third child, Aquaman Moses, was born on July 12, but her arrival coincided with the death of the heavy metal icon on July 22.

At the time, she didn’t address the resurfaced baby theory. Instead, she said on her podcast that her third kid was “unplanned,” and it was her and her husband Moses Hacom’s “final baby for sure.” Paytas also revealed having her “tubes out” as three C-sections were already “scary and dangerous.” She mentioned that the decision was taken to avoid future health complications.
