Trisha Paytas – YouTuber, podcast host, and eternal internet icon – has done it again, and this time, it’s not a wild mukbang or a viral TikTok dance. The 37-year-old content creator has welcomed her third child with husband Moses Hacmon and revealed her baby boy’s name in true Trisha fashion: big, bold, glittery, and fabulously aquatic.
Drumroll, please: His name is Aquaman Moses.
Yes, you read that correctly. And no, we are not too stunned to speak.
Paytas revealed the name during the July 22 episode of her podcast Just Trish, which dropped Tuesday morning. Clad in a bedazzled pink Aquaman T-shirt, she unzipped her sweater with a flourish to show off the look, officially debuting her new son’s superhero-inspired moniker.
“We watched three movies to really solidify this name,” Paytas explained on the podcast, referring to the DC Comics Aquaman franchise and the Justice League films. “And if people have been watching me for a while—they knew. They were like, ‘This makes the most sense.’”
Honestly? It does. If anyone can pull off naming a child after a mythical underwater hunk, it’s Trisha Paytas.
The Divine Details Behind the Name
For Paytas, the name isn’t just about pop culture flair—it’s deeply personal. Her husband, Moses Hacmon, not only shares a name with the biblical figure known for parting the Red Sea, but also works as a conceptual artist with a water-themed museum. So, in a way, baby Aquaman Moses is literally born of water – and art.
“When we went to a follow-up appointment last week, there was a poster in the doctor’s office. It was crazy,” Paytas said, describing the moment of synchronicity that confirmed the name. “If you know me for any amount of time—and also Moses, because he had this in his water museum—it is Aquaman!”
To top it off, Aquaman Moses was born with blonde hair (just like the comic book character), and in a poetic twist, he was the only one of her three children born without liquid in his lungs.
You can’t make this up – and we wouldn’t want to. In fact, this is exactly the type of iconic chaos that queer audiences live for.
Malibu Barbie, Elvis, and Now… Aquaman
Paytas and Hacmon are now proud parents of three – each with names that could easily be printed across a Pride float or headlining a drag revue. Their daughter Malibu Barbie, 2, has already gone viral for her adorable appearances on Trisha’s socials, and baby Elvis, born just last year, keeps the musical legend theme alive. With Aquaman now in the lineup, this trio is practically a queer millennial fever dream brought to life.
For LGBTQ+ fans who grew up playing with Barbie dolls, lip-syncing to Britney, and binge-watching internet drama, Paytas has long occupied a unique space on the pop culture spectrum: chaotic neutral meets glam fairy godmother. And her growing family’s names? Camp, darling. Pure camp.
A Traumatic Birth, But a Joyful Arrival
Paytas first shared news of Aquaman’s arrival on July 12 via Instagram Stories, teasing the big name reveal with a screenshot of her upcoming Just Trish episode. The podcast thumbnail showed her beaming in the delivery room, cradling her son while both sported matching ocean-themed pajamas.
“After a surprising and traumatic birth, baby number three is here!” the episode description read. “It’s been months of speculation, but now Trisha and Moses are FINALLY ready to reveal the name of their little boy. Plus, Trish shares why this will likely be her final pregnancy journey.”
Though Paytas has kept the specific details of her birth experience private, she emphasized on the show that the journey was emotional and intense, describing it as both “surprising” and “traumatic.” Still, she expressed gratitude and joy that both she and baby Aquaman were healthy and recovering well.
A Baby Reveal Fit for a Stage
Paytas originally announced her pregnancy earlier this year on an episode of Just Trish, after keeping it under wraps for several months. In a typically theatrical reveal, she pulled out sonogram images mid-show, laughing and crying alongside her husband.
“I’m having a baby in July! July is coming!” she exclaimed, before celebrating with a baby shower cake brought on by Moses.
Then in May, during the Los Angeles stop of her Eras of Trish Tour at the iconic Greek Theatre, Paytas unveiled the baby’s gender in front of a live audience. After a dramatic countdown, her husband pulled a lever and blue confetti exploded into the sky as the screen behind them read: “It’s a boy.”
The moment was captured in a viral clip that had fans cheering both online and in person.
Is This Trisha’s Final Pregnancy?
During her most recent podcast episode, Paytas hinted that this pregnancy may be her last, citing both physical and emotional reasons. Though she expressed deep love for motherhood, she noted that three children – born in rapid succession – feels like a complete family.
“I think this might be the end of the road for me, pregnancy-wise,” she said, adding that she’s ready to focus on raising her kids and cherishing the moments as they grow.
Whether this truly marks the end of Trisha’s baby journey remains to be seen, but fans have already begun pouring out support and love for the growing Paytas-Hacmon family.
A Name That Breaks the Internet and Gender Norms
For queer fans and gay internet followers, the name Aquaman Moses hits all the right notes: pop culture reference? Check. Biblical-meets-superhero twist? Check. Absolutely unbothered camp? Big check.
In a media landscape where celebrity baby names often blend into beige sameness, Paytas’ decision to go full comic book fantasy feels like a breath of glittery air. It’s bold, it’s meme-ready, and above all, it’s very Trish.
And in a world where gender norms are rapidly evolving, naming your son after a seafaring demi-god with golden hair and a penchant for drama feels perfectly on trend.
Congratulations to Trisha, Moses, Malibu Barbie, Elvis, and the newest member of this delightfully iconic family – baby Aquaman Moses.
