Buckle up! This is a wild one. Basically, there's a theory that YouTuber Trisha Paytas' three babies are the reincarnations of three of the world's most prominent figures: Elizabeth II, Pope Francis, and, of course...Ozzy Osbourne? (Sure, why not?)
The theory originated in 2022, when Paytas went into labor with her first child, Malibu, on the same day Queen Elizabeth II passed away. It gained even more traction and spawned countless memes in spring of 2025, when Pope Francis died, and internet users joked that he had been reincarnated as Paytas' second child, Elvis...even though Elvis was born in spring of 2024. (But who are we to say how reincarnation actually works?)
The conspiracy theory grew even wilder when Paytas announced the birth of her third child (whom they named Aquaman) on the same day Ozzy Osbourne died—although Paytas confirmed the baby had actually been born the week prior.
Paytas herself denies that her children are the reincarnations of these famous figures, though she has joked that Malibu "does give [her] Queen Elizabeth vibes."
What do you think? Are Trisha Paytas' kids vessels for the reincarnated souls of famous figures? (And who do you think is next? 👀 )
