Why Trisha Paytas Chose To Name Her Kids Malibu, Elvis And Aquaman

Published | Updated

Trisha Paytas has been through plenty of interesting experiences throughout her career as a media personality ... and ya gotta imagine becoming a mother's way up on the list!

The podcast host is a proud mom to two daughters and a son with her husband, Moses Hacmon.

Here's a look at the lives of the media personality's three children, as well as the reasons why she chose their names.

Paytas Started Her Family With the Birth of Her Eldest Daughter Malibu

Paytas' eldest daughter, Malibu Barbie, was born in October 2022, which came as a shock to the social media figure, as she'd previously dealt with fertility issues.

The media figure opened up about her daughter's name in a Q&A video she shared on her YouTube account the same month, where she said she'd "always loved" the word Malibu and felt as if it would be a great name for a kid.

She then suggested Barbie as a middle name for her first baby as she felt it would be "the cutest name ever."

Paytas has also credited the birth of her daughter with inspiring her to place more of an emphasis on her mental well-being, and she said in an interview with Elle she'd "been putting in a lot of work to control my emotions" after becoming a mother.

She Waited a Year Before Having a Second Child

The YouTube star's fans didn't have to wait too long for another big announcement about her family, because she revealed her second pregnancy, sharing a post on her Instagram account in October 2023.

She gave birth to her second daughter, Elvis, the following May, and her middle child's been featured in plenty of her YouTube photos and Instagram posts.

Oh, and get this ... Paytas actually gave her fans a bit of foreshadowing about her children's names in a video that she shared all the way back in 2011!

She reposted the video on her Instagram account following her second daughter's arrival, and although it's worth mentioning she was banking on having a boy named Elvis and twin girls named Malibu and Barbie, it looks like she got what she wanted one way or another!

She Gave Her Third Kid a Really Super Name

Paytas announced she was planning to add a third child to her family during a March 2025 episode of her "Just Trish" podcast, where she showed off images of her baby's sonogram.

She welcomed her third child four months later ... she gave birth to a boy they named Aquaman -- his middle name is Moses, from his father.

The YouTube star opened up about the unorthodox name choice on another episode of "Just Trish" and claimed she'd originally thought about naming her child Water, as her husband's "whole philosophy was, 'We're just water.'"

Paytas then spoke about her love for the DC Comics character, and recalled rekindling her interest in the superhero after the release of the 2017 "Justice League" movie, in which he was portrayed by Jason Momoa.

James Gunn I Hope School Bullies Won't Go Overboard ... Teasing Trisha's Baby Aquaman!!!🌊

Published

Everyone’s been side-eyeing Trisha Paytas for naming her baby after DC’s Aquaman, but plot twist: director James Gunn seems to be riding the wave ... just with a splash of caution!

The DC Studios co-CEO was out at Comic-Con over the weekend when he was asked about the viral baby name -- and while he called it cool, he also made it clear he hopes the kid doesn't get washed out by bullies at school.

James explained he caught flak back when he was in school just for his last name alone -- yep, cue the endless gun puns -- so he’s hoping lil' Aquaman doesn’t get the same treatment … assuming playground roasts are still alive and well like they were back in his day.

Of course, Trisha’s no stranger to bold baby names -- she’s already got a Malibu Barbie and an Elvis at home, but Aquaman’s definitely made the biggest impact yet.

Here’s hoping baby Aquaman stays afloat ... and steers clear of the schoolyard splash zone!

Get To Know NBA YoungBoy's Kids ... And Baby Mamas!

Published | Updated

NBA YoungBoy's verses have featured plenty of wild claims -- including one about his soon-to-arrive thirteenth child!

The rapper made the news about his plans known in a verse from his new track "If You Need Me," in which he made a reference to his wife being "on our 3rd kid."

In light of the songwriter's claim, we're going to take a look at the lives of the performer's other children and get a glimpse of the musician's family life.

NBA YoungBoy Became A Father At Just 16 Years Old

Some people just can't wait to have kids ... and it looks like YoungBoy's one of them, as he welcomed his first son, Kayden, when he was still a teenager!

The rap star shares his eldest child with Nisha Keller, and although they separated after Kayden's birth, they ended up getting back together further down the road ... more on that later.

YoungBoy's second son, Taylin, arrived in March 2017, and he shares the child with another ex-girlfriend, named Nia.

The thing is, he ended up reuniting with an old ex, Starr Dejanee, and they welcomed his third baby boy, Kamiri, the following year.

The performer also helps raise his ex's son Kamron -- whom he initially thought was his own, although a DNA test later proved otherwise.

YoungBoy Had Trouble With One Of His Baby Mamas

Not all of the rap star's relationships have exactly been conventional, and he ended up in hot water for his treatment of one of his baby mamas, Jania Meshell.

YoungBoy was allegedly caught body-slamming his ex on camera in February 2018, and he was arrested on a kidnapping warrant the same month.

He later worked out a plea deal and pled guilty to misdemeanor simple battery family violence. He was required to not have any violent contact with his girlfriend.

YoungBoy and Jania ultimately reconciled and welcomed a son named Kacey in February 2019 -- although they wound up breaking up.

The Rapper Shares His Eldest Daughter With An Old Baby Mama

Remember how we said Nisha would show up again earlier on? Well, it turns out the performer briefly reconciled with his ex, and she gave birth to his first daughter, Armani, in June 2020.

And he didn't have to wait too long to expand his family again ... because another one of his girlfriends, Drea Symone, gave birth to a baby girl named Kodi just five months later!

The performer's family only kept expanding further, as another ex of his, Yaya Mayweather, gave birth to his son Kentrell Jr. in January 2021.

It looked like YoungBoy was ready to settle down about then, as he started dating Jazlyn Mychelle in 2020 and married her in 2023 ... but the kids just kept coming!

YoungBoy Shares Two Children With His Wife

The rapper didn't exactly wait to start a family with Mychelle, because their first child, a daughter named Alice, was born in August 2021.

And they didn't exactly wait for too long to give Alice a younger sibling, the rapper's now-wife gave birth to their son Klemenza the following September.

The pair's eldest child was named after YoungBoy's grandmother, according to Billboard, and his son was named for a character from "The Godfather" ... which is a pretty cool reference, if you ask us.

Oh, and we should mention the performer allegedly fathered two children, including a daughter named Kiori, with two separate women in 2023, which brings the rapper's apparent total count of kids to 12 -- which puts him neck-and-neck with Nick Cannon, in case you were wondering.

Now it looks like the rapper and his wife are preparing to bring a third bundle of joy into their lives -- but don't worry, YoungBoy's got plenty of experience in that department!

Dog The Bounty Hunter's family is going through a really tough time right now, as his step-grandson, Anthony, was accidentally shot and killed on Saturday night.

And we revealed the person behind the tragic incident was none other than Anthony's father and Dog's stepson, Gregory Zecca.

We're going to take a look at the background of the bounty hunter's family member and check out what went down during the accidental shooting.

Gregory Worked With His Stepfather

Zecca is the son of Dog's wife, Francie -- whom the professional bounty hunter married in 2021 -- and one of her former spouses.

He described himself as a "Father, Bounty Hunter, Podcaster, Small Business Owner" on his Instagram account, which has been disabled.

Zecca appears to have been involved with an auto repair and customization business, Rebel Customs, and he later joined his stepfather's bounty hunting team.

He also hosted the "Beyond The Bounty With Greg Zecca" podcast, although its final episode was uploaded to Spotify in 2021.

Zecca shared Anthony with Alexandria Lane, according to the Daily Mail, and he'd posted several photos of his son using firearms on his Instagram account.

Anthony Was Accidentally Shot In The Neck

Sources told us Anthony's accidental shooting took place at Gregory's apartment in Naples, Florida, around 8 PM E.T.

Law enforcement sources later revealed Anthony, who was just 13 years old, had an entry wound located on his neck, and the teenager had lost a considerable amount of blood by the time emergency responders arrived at the apartment.

Although life-saving measures were performed on the teenager, he was pronounced dead at 10:21 PM E.T.

The gun reportedly used during the tragic accident was sitting on the kitchen island when responders arrived at the scene.

An investigation into what led to Anthony's shooting is currently underway, and no one has been arrested in connection with the incident.
