Trisha Paytas slams outrageous internet theory that her unborn child is Pope Francis reincarnated
Popular YouTuber
Trisha Paytas
has spoken out about the bizarre internet rumor that her yet-to-be-born baby is the reincarnation of Pope Francis.
"I just don't get it. First of all, I'm months away from my due date, not even close this time," Trisha expressed on her Just Trish podcast on Tuesday. "He's not in the
British
monarch[y]. Is it just any influential person that dies gets to come reincarnated as my baby?" The social media star is expecting her child in July. The world learned on Monday that
Pope Francis
, who had been at the helm of the
Catholic Church
since 2013, passed away at 88 years old.
The Vatican confirmed that the official cause of death for the late Pope Francis was a cerebral stroke, which led to a coma and an "irreversible cardiocirculatory collapse." Trish confessed her confusion over the speculation linking her unborn child with Pope Francis. "That one I don't get," she said.

"If King Charles [III] died, I'd be like, 'OK.' The Pope is kind of far removed from Queen Elizabeth [II]. I don't understand why my womb is carrying all of these souls."

Her podcast co-host, Oscar Gracey, pointed out that the theory hinges on a "historic person of power" passing away during the time of Trisha's pregnancy, leading "people kind of associate the two." A curious Trisha then inquired, "So my baby is going to absorb it?" and mentioned that Francis passed away at 88, her lucky number.
Trisha and her hubby Moses Hacmon have kept their baby's gender under wraps, but Oscar quipped that if they had a son, they'd face "baby Pope allegations." Trisha responded, "If it's a boy, I guess so. I guess we're naming it ... Pope is not a bad name. Technically, there's girls named Francis, too.
So we could have a girl [named] Pope Francis. My dad's name is Francis, so. I'll take the Pope, I guess. I guess that's better than Charles."
She went on, "I just don't know how that happens. Like, how is that actually going into my ... how do I actually absorb it? I guess I've been manifesting that. Gosh, I'm so powerful."
Moses pointed out that reincarnation supposedly has a 49-day window, which doesn't align with Trisha's due date.
"Sorry y'all. I wish the Pope could have hung in there a little longer," she said regretfully. "Well, maybe I'll go into labor early. We'll see. Please no. ... I'll let you know if I start feeling a little holier."

Creative director Cally Chan on weaving the tales of Mother Nature into her textile work
Roots of creativity One of Chan's cherished childhood creations was a magazine cover she drew when she was eight, and which earned her an award at school. It featured several drawings of Snoopy, the beloved beagle character from the Peanuts comic strip, sheltered by a large tree, symbolising how the school supported its students. Her interest and confidence in illustration grew the more praise she received for her work, but the craft remained a hobby. Only after moving to the UK in 2006 for secondary school did she begin exploring the possibility of turning her interest into a career when her paintings caught the attention of a teacher, who later encouraged her to develop her talents further. Chan decided to intern with interior design firms during the summer holidays and found herself drawn to the industry. While the profession is distinct from the traditional art industry, she saw similarities in how both are about 'crafting narratives through the careful combination of materials, colours and elements'. Photo 1 of 3 A meeting space at Coltex Furnishing's 4,000-square-foot studio in North Point (Photo: Cally Chan) Photo 2 of 3 Racks of fabrics featuring patterns designed by the Coltex Furnishing team (Photo: Cally Chan) Photo 3 of 3 Shelves display a selection of fabric and material samples in a corner of the studio (Photo: Cally Chan) After graduating from Chelsea College of Art and Design with a bachelor's degree in interior and spatial design in 2012, Chan worked at two design firms—Aedas and AB Concept. The experience gave her a crash course in this line of work, teaching her the basics and leading to her developing her soft furnishings niche. She also worked on projects for Four Seasons hotels in London and Kuala Lumpur, where her knack for abstract design started to shine.

'You're never quite sure what the final form will be,' she says. They began by offering a kaleidoscope of design styles—Chinese, east-meets- west and abstract—allowing clients to explore and define their aesthetic preferences. Quickly, the abstract designs emerged as the studio's signature. Chan also ensures that its furnishings tell a story that resonates with both the brands it works with and their customers. Some of her approaches include adding elements that provide context based on the venue's history and align with its purpose. It's even more rewarding when her products are used in unexpected ways, as it broadens her perspective. For example, at Mandarin Oriental Hong Kong's British bar The Chinnery, her classic basket weave pattern—typically suited to casual settings—is transformed into sophisticated upholstery by adding a leather trim. Despite the popularity and success that Chan and her team have enjoyed over the last nine years, she says they always prioritise focusing on the present instead of chasing expansion or accolades—and this has led to their creating exceptional work and finding joy. 'What if the world ended tomorrow?' she asks. 'It may cost you a lot to get to the place you think you want to be. Focusing on small pieces can lead to big steps, and it might just take you somewhere.'

Do you prefer hand-drawn or digital design? Cally Chan (CC): Hand-drawn design. It's easier for me to review what I've drawn. What is your favourite pattern scale: tiny or large? CC: Large. If you could collaborate with any historical artist, who would it be and why? CC: Claude Monet because I can stay at his place with a beautiful garden. What is one trend in fabric design that we should pay attention to? CC: Geometric abstraction. What do you do when you hit a creative roadblock? CC: I would talk to my friends.

Step onto Savile Row, London's most iconic street for style
As the inspiration behind Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen's brand—synonymous with understated luxury—Savile Row (UK) remains a must-visit for the sartorially inclined traveller. 78 per cent cashmere, 14 per cent silk, 3 per cent wool, 2 per cent camel (and 3 per cent other fibres, where necessary): such is the label found inside the 'Mance' coat from The Row's Autumn/Winter 2019 collection. Designed with side pockets and a back flap, it boasts an ideal length and a price tag akin to that of a modest vehicle. 'Sometimes the coat is worth more than the money itself.' And yet, the 'Mance' coat isn't even the most extravagant offering. The Row's 'Margaux 10' handbag, rendered in crocodile leather, commands a sum comparable to a pre-owned Bentley. That these pieces continue to sell out at such prices owes everything to the brand's unwavering commitment to quality. Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen did justice to The Row's namesake, honouring the London street that is home to the world's most exacting tailors: Savile Row. Nestled in the Mayfair district of Westminster, central London, Savile Row is the cradle of British tailoring. In essence, it is where any gentleman serious about refined dress naturally finds himself. See more: What to expect from Prada's 'billion dollar deal' to acquire Versace?
