Paytas is probably most known, though, for her several scandals.
Among other dramatic events, she has become entangled in several public arguments with fellow internet celebrities.
But in recent years Paytas has turned her attention to a different chapter in her life, settling down and loving two beautiful daughters.
Her chosen name for her second child is causing her to be in news once more now.
Paytas’s announcement of the birth of her first daughter in 2022—named Malibu Barbie— stunned many. The online sensation revealed in an interview with Entertainment Tonight that her small daughter embodies same whimsical attitude. She said, “I get to dress her up; she’s like a small girl! Whether we had a boy or a girl, I was happy; now that she is a girl, I can outfit her like my mini-me. She really is very Malibu Barbie and is so much fun.

Paytas and her husband, Moses Hacmon, have happily welcomed their second daughter now, and their choice of name has once more caused controversy. One reader notes, “That name will lead this poor youngster to be tormented so much.
Just not sure why some parents chose such names. Still another says, “That’s such a horrible name for a child. Where did more conventional names like Emily or Jessica vanish to? A third person notes, “Please, let’s stop giving kids names like this.” “You know that baby will probably want to change her name when she’s older,” someone else adds. “I can’t believe it; that’s so unkind,” writes a fifth commenter.

Many more have congratulated Paytas in the comments, even if some of her admirers have objected to her baby name choice.
“Elvis is in the building,” one commentator said.
Still another observed: “She really adores Elvis and wanted that name regardless of the baby’s gender. In my view, it’s very charming.
“She’s fantastic like her mum,” a third fan said.
Paytas revealed her pregnancy in November 2023 by uploading pictures including many ultrasonic scans. On May 24 she received her daughter; on June 4 she made the announcement about her arrival.
“Proudly sharing the joyful and safe arrival of our beautiful daughter, Elvis Paytas-Hacmon, born on 05.24.24,” Paytas told her Instagram followers.
She included images of her and her husband’s newborn together as well as of their elder child greeting her baby sister.
Just Trish, Paytas disclosed in a past episode of her podcast that she had “manifested” the name Elvis for her baby. “I love all names; they’re all so sweet, but I’ve always envisioned Malibu and Elvis,” she said (the New York Post). “Those were naturally on my list of names since they have always been there.”
She also said, “Elvis can absolutely be a masculine name, but we’re open to using it for a girl too.”
