Trisha Paytas reveals third child's unusual name, stuns fans
But the YouTube star has stunned fans after revealing the name of her third child, a little boy named Aquaman.
No, you're not hallucinating. The popular social media star has really named her new baby after a fictitious superhero character who is half human, half sea creature.
And it's fair to say, since breaking the news of the baby boy's arrival, the internet has a lot of thoughts on her choice in moniker.
'These will be real humans with jobs. Imagine your thoracic surgeon is called Aquaman,' one wrote on TikTok.
'This doesn't feel real,' commented another.
As one said: 'Coming from someone who is named Ariel, why do people name their kids after their favourite characters?'
Another argued that the name was 'horrible', adding that it appears many celebrities 'forget that these babies are going to grow up and be an adult'.
'I love Trisssssh, but Aquaman is killing me respectfully,' stated someone else.
'The world is collectively shocked,' mused another, as one woman stated: 'I feel like that should be illegal.'
The 37-year-old, who is married to photographer Moses Hacmon, explained on a new episode of her podcast Just Trish, how the pair settled on the unusual moniker.
While wearing a T-shirt emblazoned with the movie character, Paytas explained that Aquaman was 'so perfect' for their baby boy's name as it combined her love for the movies and Moses' love of water.
'Not only is it so related to me, but it's also so related to Moses,' she said.
'I've been wearing Aquaman T-shirts for years, I've gone to so many comic-cons for Aquaman. And I really fell in love when we rewatched Aquaman.
'We watched all the Aquamans, I watched the cartoon, I was watching everything.'
The popular content creator had hinted at the name on her podcast before Aquaman was born, stating she and Moses were looking to choose a name for their baby boy based on a 'water-themed movie'.
It's not the first time the social media star, who has over 12 million followers across TikTok and Instagram, copped a lot of criticism after welcoming Malibu Barbie in 2022.
'Leave it to Trish to give her a horrible name. She's a baby not a doll,' one furious woman wrote on Twitter.
'No way Trisha Paytas named her baby Malibu Barbie …' another questioned.
'Malibu Barbie. It's certainly a bold choice, glad mum, dad and baby are healthy and happy but that's a name,' someone else added.
As one ranted: 'Malibu Barbie is cruel and selfish. It is an ugly game played by the poor baby's parents. It is NOT a cute name.'
The influencer, who rose to online fame back in 2006, appears to have won over some with her 'bold' baby name choices – with several fans declaring the latest name is 'iconic'.

Jessica Alba spotted passionately kissing new boyfriend Danny Ramirez outside his LA home
Jessica Alba was spotted heavily packing on the PDA with her new boyfriend, Danny Ramirez, following her split from Cash Warren. The couple looked cozy as they passionately kissed upon the Fantastic Four actress's arrival at the actor's Los Angeles home over the weekend. Alba looked comfortable, wearing grey sweatpants, a black oversized jacket and a baseball cap for the outing. Ramirez, meanwhile, sported a black graphic T-shirt and grey sweatpants. The actress appeared to have gifted her beau a massive orchard, as he was seen carrying it from her car. Alba, 44, and Ramirez, 32, sparked romance rumours in May when they were photographed kissing during a low-key outing to Regent's Park in London. At the time, she was seen walking in front of the L ast of Us star, whose identity was unknown, as he tenderly rested his arm on her shoulder. 'They were hugging and holding hands as they walked through the park together,' a spy told the Sun. 'They rented out some deck chairs and they were sitting on them kissing.' In July, TMZ identified Ramirez in photos of him and Alba heading from Los Angeles to Cancún, Mexico. The Top Gun: Maverick star and the Honest Beauty co-founder were photographed making their way through the airport while wearing hats. Despite their getaway, an insider told the Daily Mail they were 'not exclusive' and Alba was 'not in that frame of mind.' 'Danny is cool, a nice guy, and he is enamoured with her,' the source claimed. Ramirez and Alba, however, looked smitten while leaving an Italian restaurant in Los Angeles last Wednesday night. The Sin City star announced that she and her estranged husband, Warren, 46, were splitting after nearly 17 years of marriage in January 2025. She and her ex share three children: daughters Honor and Haven and son Hayes.

Donald Trump claims Beyonce, Oprah broke law in Harris endorsement deal
Beyonce. Oprah Winfrey. Kamala Harris. US President Donald Trump has taken aim at the trio of influential women, saying they 'should be prosecuted' during a stunning late-night rant. Mr Trump took to Truth Social to unleash in a major way, posting the rant at 7.45pm Scotland time, where he is currently on a weekend golfing trip. Mr Trump alleged that Beyonce never sang despite being paid USD$11 (AUD$16) million to endorse Mrs Harris before her speech at a campaign rally in Houston, Texas. Mr Trump also highlighted amounts allegedly paid to talk show host Oprah and TV personality Reverend Al Sharpton. He also said the large amount of money spent by his Democratic opponents during the 2024 election will be reviewed, and that payment was 'probably illegally' made. 'I'm looking at the large amount of money owed by the Democrats, after the Presidential Election, and the fact that they admit to paying, probably illegally, Eleven Million Dollars to singer Beyoncé for an ENDORSEMENT (she never sang, not one note, and left the stage to a booing and angry audience!), Three Million Dollars for 'expenses', to Oprah, Six Hundred Thousand Dollars to very low rated TV 'anchor', Al Sharpton (a total lightweight!), and others to be named for doing, absolutely nothing!', Mr Trump posted on Truth Social. 'These ridiculous fees were incorrectly stated in the books and records. YOU ARE NOT ALLOWED TO PAY FOR AN ENDORSEMENT. IT IS TOTALLY ILLEGAL TO DO SO. 'Can you imagine what would happen if politicians started paying for people to endorse them. All hell would break out! Kamala, and all of those that received Endorsement money, BROKE THE LAW.' He continued: 'They should all be prosecuted! Thank you for your attention to this matter.' However, there's no evidence that those named in Mr Trump's post received payment for their endorsement by the Democratic campaign. Oprah previously said she 'was not paid a dime' for the appearance, however 'the people who worked on that production needed to be paid. And were. End of story'. The Harris campaign has also denied making any endorsement payment for Beyonce. Mr Trump has made similar allegations previously. In December, he wrote that 'Beyoncé didn't sing, Oprah didn't do much of anything (she called it 'expenses') and Al is just a third-rate conman'. He's also no stranger to using legal threats. Beyonce and Oprah aren't the only celebrities Mr Trump has criticised. Earlier this week, he addressed CBS' shocking decision to cancel The Late Show With Stephen Colbert, seemingly suggesting that other late night hosts should get a similar treatment. Of particular focus was his longtime critic, Jimmy Kimmel. 'I absolutely love that Colbert got fired. His talent was even less than his ratings,' Trump wrote in a post on Truth Social. 'I hear Jimmy Kimmel is next. Has even less talent than Colbert!' Mr Kimmel and Mr Trump have reportedly been feuding for years. When Mr Trump won the presidency in 2024, Mr Kimmel called it a 'terrible night' for democracy and announced he was on Trump's 'list of enemies'.

Private jet attendant reveals what the super wealthy are really like at 45,000 feet
In 2015, Danielle Styron, then 32, was offered her dream job as a private jet flight attendant. It promised a six-figure salary, trips to luxury resorts and full benefits. It seemed too good to be true — and it was, reports NY Post. Over the course of two phone interviews, the pilot continually hinted at the 'alternative lifestyle' of the plane's owner, a religious man who split his time flying with his family half the month and with his girlfriends the other half. As the conversation went on, it became clear the role involved participating in orgies with the girlfriends on-board while the owner watched. 'We only fly them once a month, so it's not like you have to be a lesbian, you would just need to have fun with them,' the pilot assured her. Ms Styron writes about the seedy job interview — and the seven years she spent flying with the rich and famous — in her dishy new memoir 'The Mile High Club: Confessions of a Private Jet Flight Attendant', co-written with her brother, James Styron. 'Names have been changed to protect (us from) the malevolent,' the intro reads. 'Behaviours have been presented to humble them. You know who you are.' Ms Styron, now 41 and living in New York, didn't end up taking the job with the orgy-loving jet owner, but she went on to work for a number of difficult people. Some of her clients, she writes, were 'miserable, vampires of human joy.' One passenger berated her for not having the proper tequila stocked, even though it wasn't requested. Food-obsessed wives micromanaged everything that came out of the galley kitchen. An assistant threatened to punch her in the face over a not-hot-enough breakfast sandwich. Then there was the time a woman shoved Ms Styron into a bulkhead mid-turbulence because her beloved puppies got jostled. 'She treated the dogs better than any human on board,' Ms Styron writes. One of her lowest points was being asked to source champagne on the tropical island of St. Maarten, just after it had been devastated by a hurricane. The client demanded bubbles despite the natural disaster. 'I'm standing there thinking, 'There's no champagne. There was just a major hurricane. People are standing outside waiting for bread, and you're asking me to spend $US20,000 on bubbly,'' Styron told The Post. There was only one supermarket open, which Ms Styron begrudgingly patronised in search of the requested Champs. 'It felt dystopian,' she said. Then there was the two-timing bigwig who would fly with his pregnant wife one day and his mistress a few days later. 'As a woman, it was hurtful to be a part of that,' she said. 'Even though I had no choice. What was I going to do, blow my life up to be like, 'Yo, your man's cheating on you?' She probably already knew.' Sometimes, as the title of the book suggests, passengers got intimate in flight. She and her crew knew the drill: retreat to the front, let the guests go at it, and deal with the clean-up later. 'It's usually in the bathroom, galley, or right there on the sofa,' she writes. 'It's their house, right? Private jets are like flying living rooms.' Despite the uncomfortable situations and challenging passengers, the jobs also entailed plenty of good times and perks. She partied in Las Vegas with pilots and jetted off to Costa Rica, Aspen and St. Barts. One time in Los Angeles, the plane broke down on the tarmac, a typical mechanical delay. Ms Styron was tasked with keeping the charter guests fed and entertained while the pilots tried to fix the plane. The lead passenger was none other than actor and comedian Jamie Foxx. Unlike most high-profile clients, he took the delay in stride. He was 'the most delightful celebrity,' she said. 'He was cracking jokes and telling stories. He was pure light. [After three hours on the ground,] we were out of food, the mimosas were gone, people were losing patience, but not Jamie. He was still smiling. Still gracious. It restored my faith in humanity.' Misery, however, seemed to be more the norm. 'You think these people have it all,' she said. 'But I saw the opposite. They're really insecure. Their friends are all about one-upmanship. One man owned several planes, had a beautiful wife, everything in the world, and he was obsessing about his hair plugs. Like who cares?' Ms Styron ultimately retired from aviation and went back to doing what she'd done before, working as an esthetician. She now owns Fluff NYC, a brow and skincare studio on the Upper East Side, where she tends to people's faces — not their egos. 'It's less glamorous,' she said with a laugh, 'but way more peaceful.'
