The Trisha Paytas baby theory has once again taken over the internet following the death of iconic singer Ozzy Osbourne on July 22. The theory, which first went viral in 2022, connects the births of Trisha Paytas’ children with the deaths of major public figures-starting with none other than Queen Elizabeth II.
How the Theory Began
Social media users sparked speculation in September 2022, following the death of Queen Elizabeth II at the age of 96. Around the same time, Trisha Paytas announced they had gone into labor with their first child. The timing sparked a viral joke: was Paytas’ baby the Queen reincarnated?
The internet ran with the idea. Soon after the Queen’s passing, Trisha gave birth to a daughter named Malibu Barbie, and the joke evolved into a recurring meme. The theory popped up again earlier this year when rumors falsely claimed that Pope Francis had died. Even though the Pope is alive, fans quickly linked the rumor to Paytas’ second pregnancy. That child, Elvis Paytas-Hacmon, was born on May 24, 2024.
Enter: Ozzy Osbourne
Now, the theory has re-entered the spotlight after Trisha Paytas gave birth to her third child, a boy, on the same day Ozzy Osbourne died. The coincidence sent social media into a frenzy once again.
One user on X (formerly Twitter) wrote, “Trisha f**king Paytas just gave birth again btw.” Another added, “Ozzy Osbourne dead just hours after Trisha Paytas gives birth-oh she is NEVER beating the allegations.”
Whether taken as a meme or a wild coincidence, the Trisha Paytas baby theory has become an internet staple-part pop culture lore, part cosmic joke. And as long as the timing keeps lining up, fans will likely keep coming back to it.
