Internet star Trisha Paytas names newborn after superhero
The coupe's third child— whose full name is Aquaman Moses Paytas-Hacmon — follows the arrivals of girls Malibu Barbie, 2, and Elvis, 10 months.
Sharing images from her son's birth to Instagram, which took place on July 12, the YouTube star beamed as she and Moses cradled the newborn who matched in aqua-themed garb.
Other photos depicted the couple's older children becoming familiar with their newest sibling.
'💙AQUAMAN MOSES PAYTAS-HACMON💙 Born 07.12.25 @ 12:40 am 🙏,' Paytas captioned the post.
The YouTube star had previously explained on her Just Trish podcast the inspiration behind Aquaman, suggesting they needed a 'movie poster' name to match those of Elvis and Barbie.
Paytas also noted the baby's star sign of Cancer is a water sign, and that she's had an affection for Aquaman, played in film by Jason Momoa, for several years.

'Yayayyyyy welcome to the world baby Aquaman!!!' one person commented.
'The Birthday parties are about to be off the unCHARTed waters 💦😍,' another said.
Corners of the internet have noted the bizarre trend of Paytas' newborns being oddly timed with celebrity deaths, with some conspiracists believing her kids are the reincarnations of fallen stars.
'Ozzy, that you?' one fan posited, in reference to the Tuesday death of iconic Black Sabbath frontman Ozzy Osborne.
In 2022, Paytas had advised followers she'd gone into labour with Malibu shortly before the Royal Palace had announced the death of Queen Elizabeth II.
While the timing didn't quite align with her second child's birth, some sleuths drew a long bow when connecting the April 2025 death of Pope Francis with Paytas' May 2024 birth of Elvis.
'Is it just like any influential person that dies gets to come reincarnate as my baby?' she said on her Just Trish podcast at the time.
'I don't understand why my womb is carrying all these souls.'

'He came early,' Trisha told fans on her recent podcast.
'The original due date was July 29. Our scheduled c-section was July 18.'
She continued to reveal the chaos of the 'traumatising' premature birth, saying she was forced to wait for three other c-sections to be completed at the hospital before she could be seen.
'I actually thought I was going to die—I was like, 'I don't know if I can handle this,' Paytas recalled.
However, once delivery began, the YouTuber said she was introduced to her son in just 10 minutes.

Heidi Klum: I've always been very open with my body
Heidi Klum has always been "very open with [her] body". The 52-year-old model came under fire in 2023, when she appeared in a racy advert alongside her daughter Leni, but Heidi hasn't allowed the backlash to bother her. She told People: "A lot of people are like, 'Oh, I don't know about mom and daughter doing this together'. "But for us? I'm proud of my daughter. She's fine with me like that." Heidi insisted that she has a typically "European" attitude towards her own body. The runway star - who also has Henry, 19, Johan, 18, and Lou, 15 - said: "I've always been very open with my body. When I'm suntanning in the backyard, I might not have a top on. I'm European … my kids don't know me any other way and are probably more easygoing with their bodies because of it." On the other hand, Heidi still considers herself to be a cautious parent in other ways. She explained: "When they're young, you're worried they're going to jump in the pool or stick their finger in a socket. "Then they're driving. Then it's sex, drugs and rock and roll. You hope the seed you planted in them grows. That they're good people. That they're healthy. But you always worry. And I know I'll still be worrying when I'm 80." Meanwhile, Heidi recently suggested that society has become "more welcoming of wrinkles". The model observed that it's now "okay to be older". Heidi told People: "I feel like we're more welcoming of wrinkles and rolls on our body. Being accepted at every age is amazing. That we've changed and come all that way." Heidi doesn't have any fears of "age-shaming or body-shaming". She shared: "For me to be older, it doesn't matter. I don't have this age-shaming or body-shaming thing. I feel like everyone should do what they want to do. I like to run around sexy — even now at 52." Heidi actually loves posting sexy photos of herself on social media. She said: "I've been photographing nude or in lingerie since 1992, way before Instagram. "So for me, it's nothing new. For the past 15 years, other people are now doing what I've been doing for 30 years. Instead of being in my little bottoms in a magazine, I'm on Instagram. It's the same thing."
