Social media star Trisha Paytas has revealed she is pregnant with her third child, sparking a wave of online jokes about reincarnation.

The influencer, 36, shared the exciting news during a live stream of her Just Trish podcast, confirming that she and her husband, Moses Hacmon, will welcome their baby in July 2025.

The announcement quickly gained traction on social media, with many referencing the viral internet joke that Paytas’ children are reincarnations of famous figures. This theory first gained popularity in 2022 when she announced her first pregnancy shortly before Queen Elizabeth II’s passing, leading to memes suggesting her daughter, Malibu Barbie, was the Queen reincarnated.

As soon as Paytas broke the news of her third pregnancy, users on X (formerly Twitter) revived the meme, speculating who might be “coming back” as her next baby.

Even filmmaker David Lynch wasn’t spared from the joke:

Despite the jokes, Paytas appeared thrilled about expanding her family. The couple, already parents to Malibu Barbie and their second child, Elvis, shared a Mamma Mia-themed pregnancy photoshoot on Instagram with the caption, “MAMMA MIA! HERE WE GO AGAIN! 😱 BABY #3 COMING JULY 2025 👶🏼”

Paytas’ unexpected rise in entertainment continues as she recently made a Saturday Night Live appearance and had a one-night-only Broadway show.

Jamarcus McIntyre usually did it up big on his birthday.

The outgoing Birmingham man would have a few drinks and celebrate with his friends and family.

Those who loved McIntyre had to do it for him, and without him, this year.

McIntyre, a father of two who would have turned 33 on Wednesday, was gunned down Sept. 22, 2024, during a robbery of his backpack.

Accused mass killer Damien McDaniel and five others are charged with capital murder in McIntyre’s killing.

“When he died, I died,’’ said his mother, Ada Jones McIntyre. “He was my baby.”

Friends and family held a balloon release and dinner Wednesday at the home Jamarcus shared with his mother.

“He would have celebrated, so that’s what we’re going to do,’’ Ada said.

McIntyre died in a hail of gunfire that Sunday night in the 700 block of 81st Place South.

The deadly shooting happened less than 24 hours after the Five Points South mass shooting.

Along with McDaniel, Crishawn Ja’mel McLemore-Bruce, a 23 of Pleasant Grove man, Larry Rollins, 32; Ny’Quan Lollar, 22; Demarco Beck Jr., 29; and Zachary Holmes, 31, are also charged.

Jefferson County prosecutors contend in court documents that McDaniel and Lollar were among three shooters who opened fire on McIntyre in the horrific ambush that was captured on home surveillance video.

Investigators have not yet been able to identify the third shooter.

McIntyre’s killing was caught on chilling home surveillance video and showed gunmen killing McIntyre and stealing his backpack.

Authorities say the suspects waited roughly two hours outside the residence until McIntyre was gunned down.

Text messages from the suspect’s phones showed multiple, and simultaneous, conversations were taking place in the hours leading up to McIntyre’s slaying.

It was just before 9:30 p.m. when the city’s gunfire detection system – Shot Spotter – alerted officers to shots fired in the South East Lake community. Shot Spotter registered at least 30 rounds fired, and there were multiple evidence markers placed in the middle of 81st Place South.

Once on the scene, they found McIntyre unresponsive on the sidewalk. Two others were also wounded, including a woman who, too, was found unresponsive but survived.

Both the surviving gunshots victims, one of whom is Ada’s grandson, attended Wednesday’s balloon release.

“He was my baby. He was sweet. He was Jamarcus,’’ Ada said.

McIntyre left behind a 13-year-old daughter and an 11-year-old boy.

“He loved his family and his children,’’ Ada said.

Two months before his death, McIntyre had pleaded guilty to receiving stolen property and was given probation.

He had been working to turn things around, his family said.

“He changed his life around and got closer to God,’’ Ada said. “He had really turned his life over to God and we were doing family stuff, going out to dinner.”

“We did a lot of stuff together that we didn’t do before,’’ she said.

That extra time family in the months leading up to his death were a gift.

“I think God let him out of jail so we could spend more time and bond before this happened,’’ Ada said.

Ada said she watched the brutal home surveillance video of the killing.

“It was over-violent,’’ she said. “From what I saw, they just stood over him and shot him and shot him.”

“I hate I watched it, but I wanted closure. I watched the video to make sure he didn’t suffer,’’ Ada said. “They dragged him like a rag doll.”

She said she doesn’t yet know why her son was killed.

“I ask myself all the time,’’ she said. “I don’t know what was in the backpack but that’s what they were after.”

Two of the suspects – Holmes and Beck – were cousins of the McIntyre family. The shooting happened at Holmes’ house.

“For them to do something like that to him was very hurtful,’’ Ada said. “We (the suspects’ families) haven’t talked since.

Ada said she plans to be at every court proceeding to make sure justice is served. “I’m going to make sure they pay,’’ she said.

Wednesday was an especially tough day for Ada.

“I’ve cried all day,’’ she said. “But he loved life, and I wanted to celebrate his life.”

Asked about a future without McIntyre, who was the youngest of Ada’s three children, Ad said, “I don’t even see a future. Every day I wake up to him not here. When I pass by his room, that’s the hardest thing. “

She said some good has come out of Jamarcus’s death – she believes evidence in that case led to charges against McDaniel and others in other cases.

“I hate my son had to die for them to catch him,” she said, “but I look at it as he brought closure to other families, and I’m happy for them that they got closure.”

It’s the scandalous story that’s gripping the internet, leaving millions as intrigued as they are repulsed: the man who impregnated his girlfriend – and her mother.

YouTuber Nick Yardy, 29, stunned viewers last month when he announced 22-year-old content creator Jade and her mom Dani, 44, were both pregnant with his children. 

The bombshell announcement, shared across his social media accounts and with his 3.41 million YouTube subscribers, was quickly quickly met with both curiosity and disgust. 

Though, often, when a story sounds too sensational to be true, it probably is – so now Yardy is setting the record straight with the Daily Mail. 

‘There are no babies,’ he said in an exclusive interview on Tuesday. ‘It’s just, like, a skit. It’s not actually real.’

‘People that follow me, they’re just looking for entertainment and I don’t think they really [believe it],’ he added.

As far as hoaxes go, however, Yardy insisted his three-way relationship with the mother-daughter duo is real and that he’s open to turning the internet stunt into a reality one day. 

The South Floridian, whose real name is Nicholas Hunter, claims the two women have been his live-in lovers for nearly two years.

Jade, a fellow content creator, has racked up a sizeable following of her own by posting racy content on social media as well as OnlyFans which she says she has parlayed into ownership of a Florida restaurant. 

Her mother Dani, a life coach, also has her own albeit more modest following, and goes by ‘Daniswingsxo’ on Instagram. Both declined to reveal their surnames.

‘They are actually mother and daughter, and our involvement with each other is real. It’s just that they’re not actually pregnant. At least not yet,’ Yardy explained. 

In a YouTube video shared last month titled, ‘We’re Pregnant,’ Jade claimed she was carrying his baby girl, while Dani said she was expecting Yardy’s baby boy, and that they had become pregnant just two weeks apart. 

Each wore matching maternity frocks and held Yardy’s hands while rubbing her swollen belly.

Both women were committed to the bit, with Jade telling viewers: ‘It’s not often that a mom and daughter are pregnant at the same time, let alone by the same man, but we wouldn’t want things to be any other way.’

‘I didn’t think at my age I could get pregnant again. But it’s a miracle. Our miracle baby,’ Dani gushed.

‘Two miracle babies,’ Yardy added.

Jamaica-born Yardy says he launched his social media career in 2017 after being released, penniless, from a year in jail for a marijuana conviction. 

He has since made his living – and as he notes, ‘quite a good one’ – by producing images and making comedy skits with OnlyFans models and, among other partners, Baby Alien, an online influencer with dwarfism.

‘I do a lot of different parodies online, just for entertainment purposes, to make people laugh,’ Yardy said.

He said he first met Jade about two years ago on a shoot. He claimed the couple turned to her mom Dani for advice about a rough patch they were having, and she suggested inviting another woman into their relationship – claiming she didn’t have herself in mind. 

At 29, Yardy is the same age as Dani’s eldest child, Jade’s brother.

Addressing the unorthodox three-way arrangement in a ‘pre-pregnancy’ video, he said: ‘There’s always that one guy, you introduce him to your mom and he looks at her mom and is like, “Mom’s got back,” and you’re like, “Damn is that what I’m gonna have when the girl gets older?”

‘And then, you know, you, like, fantasize, but you’ll never want to say it because it’s not, like, natural.’

Yardy claims Dani eventually moved in with him and her daughter to create what they all claim on video is a ‘common law marriage arrangement.’ 

Although the trio sleep in the same bed together, Yardy explained their boundaries: ‘We don’t have sex together. We keep it separate.’

In that earlier video, entitled ‘How Having 2 Wives Saved My Relationship’, the mother and daughter discussed how they harmoniously divide house chores and give each other much-needed alone-time with the man they share, who also produces their OnlyFans accounts. 

Yardy said he typically reserves Saturdays for Dani and Sundays for Jade. The trio pool their money in a joint bank account.

Jade, who goes by ‘LoveJadeTeen’ on social media, told the Daily Mail that the mother-daughter pregnancy idea was hers. 

It came to her a few months ago while she and Yardy were messing around with two strap-on sponge bellies that had been left in their home a few years ago during production for a different video.

She thought the stunt would be funny and Yardy figured it might make money.

‘In my experience, you need one of three things for a video to go viral: animals, food, or pregnancy,’ he told Daily Mail. 

Certainly, the trio went all out with their pregnancy hoax.

Yardy had footage shot of himself holding Jade’s hair while it looked like she was vomiting into a toilet from morning sickness. 

He even staged photos of what he claimed to be the threesome’s joint gender-reveal party. 

One of those shots shows him standing between the mother and daughter holding fake sets of ultrasound pictures of their fake fetuses with a gaggle of fellow content creators posing as fake family and friends.

Yardy also discussed plans to livestream both their deliveries, inviting his followers to watch and ‘participate’.

Dani noted on camera that Jade’s baby, Nicole, ‘will be my first granddaughter,’ while Jade added that Dani’s baby, Nick Jr., ‘will also be my little sibling.’ 

Jade went on to explain that both of their due dates were hard to pinpoint because, ‘To be honest, we have a lot of sex.’

‘We get it on quite frequently,’ Jade said, without even blushing, in front of her mom.

The video garnered mixed reactions, with some viewers, specifically men, congratulating Yardy and applauding his lifestyle. 

‘I will say he’s a lucky man. All the blessings to him,’ one posted on YouTube.

‘So beautiful. They make a beautiful family,’ another wrote.

However, many also doubted the narrative from the get-go, pointing out the mother and daughter’s unconvincing performances and Jade’s recent posts on her own social media accounts don’t show her pregnant. 

Suspicions stemmed also from the way Jade’s bump seemed to crease like a pillow when Yardy went to kiss it in his video and from the hollow sound Dani’s baby bump made when she thumped it with her hand near where her microphone was pinned to her dress.

Their video spurred several racist rants, as well as criticisms more generally about their unconventional love triangle. 

Although Dani was game to take part in the hoax, Jade and Yardy said she declined to be interviewed because she needs time to heal from those online attacks, and even some death threats.

‘Me and my mom are people pleasers,’ Jade said. ‘There are a lot of people thinking I’m, like, the young innocent one and calling her a horrible mom, which she’s not.

‘She’s actually, like, the best mom ever. She’s a lot more shy, and she’s actually been dealing with negativity, people not supporting her. She’s feeling a little sad about that.’

Jade says psychology stirred public interest in the story.  As she tells it, it’s partly that many men fantasize about bedding women and their mothers. 

And, she goes on, many women envy the openness she shares with her Dani: ‘People who had stricter, more conventional parents growing up don’t like us because they’re jealous.’

Yardy, for his part, said he was surprised to see their story picked up by so many social media influencers and tabloid news sites.

‘People that follow me, they’re just looking for entertainment and I don’t think they think this is really real,’ he said. 

For both business and personal reasons, Yardy said he’d love to have kids someday with both Jade and Dani.

‘This went so viral that we almost actually want to try for real next time,’ he said.

Last month, Blanchard spoke with PEOPLE and shared that her baby daughter Aurora is already starting to resemble her and Urker.

“I can see some of both me and Ken’s stubbornness, which is not a bad thing,” Blanchard said. “I think, because like whenever she wants to be held, she’s firm on it. Whenever she’s hungry or anything else, she’s firm on it, and that’s part of her little personality that we’re starting to see.”

“She just started smiling a little bit here and there,” she continued. “She definitely loves to cuddle. She’s a cuddle bug.”

As for who Aurora more closely resembles, Blanchard admitted that it’s Urker — not her.

“Honestly, I think Ken,” she said. “I looked at a picture of Ken when he was a baby, and they look a lot alike.”

On Jan. 1, the reality TV star’s boyfriend announced the couple welcomed their first baby together, a daughter named Aurora Raina Urker.

Urker shared a snap of the new mom — whose experience as a victim of Munchausen by proxy made national headlines — cradling their baby in an Instagram post with the caption, “Welcoming 2025 with the greatest gift of all 👼.”

The photo showed Blanchard lying in a hospital bed as she and Urker held their newborn. The two parents were looking down lovingly at their baby, who was wearing a pink hat.

Among them is Stanislav, 16, who openly expressed his pro-Ukrainian stance – removing Russian flags in his city and filling in Russian trenches.

Eleven-year-old Nastia was also brought back to Ukraine after witnessing Russian soldiers abusing her parents.

Quote: “That night, the girl woke up to noise in the next room. Four drunk Russian soldiers stormed into their house, forced her mother and father to kneel and put guns to their heads. This was their form of ‘entertainment’.” 

Details: Albina, 5, was born under occupation and spent her early years there. Throughout this time, her mother searched for ways to escape to Ukrainian-controlled territory, fearing that her daughter might inadvertently reveal her pro-Ukrainian views.

Quote: “Now, the mother is happy that her daughter will attend a Ukrainian school and grow up in a free country.” 

More details: Erik, 16, and Alla, 10, also managed to leave Russian-occupied territory. Their sister had been abducted by the Russians while attempting to flee the occupied city. She was held in a basement for several days, while her mother was forced to record a video thanking the occupiers for “saving” her daughter.

Cheshire Constabulary have shared the footage after Joanne Sharkey pleaded guilty to manslaughter on the grounds of diminished responsibility

This footage shows the chilling scene where Baby Callum was found in woodland near to Gulliver’s World 27 years ago.

Cheshire Constabulary have shared the clip after Joanne Sharkey pleaded guilty to manslaughter on the grounds of diminished responsibility after the body of the baby boy was discovered by a dog walker on March 14, 1998.

She also pleaded guilty to endeavouring to conceal the birth of the child.

In the footage, recorded in 1998, it shows the wooded area sealed off by police. In various shots, it shows a residential road on the right of the cordon with the entrance to the wood closed off by police tape.

Further aerial footage, also taken in 1998, shows the area where Baby Callum, named after the Callands district of Warrington, was found.

The footage has been released after Sharkey pleaded guilty today (March 6).

She was previously charged with the murder of the infant between March 8 and March 12, 1998, and concealing his birth. Today at Liverpool Crown Court, Sharkey sat in the dock wearing a white cardigan with her hair pulled back into a low ponytail.

She wept as she pleaded not guilty to murder but guilty to the alternative offence of manslaughter by reason of diminished responsibility and the offence of concealing the child’s birth.

Prosecution barrister Jonas Hankin KC told the court all the elements of a diminished responsibility plea were supported by psychiatrists, the police, the CPS and counsel on both sides.

In plain terms, he said, the killing was “impossible to understand” in the absence of significant mental impairment, which had “substantially impaired her ability to form rational judgment and exercise self-control”.

The case was adjourned to allow for the preparation of presentence reports. Sharkey, of Denham Close, Liverpool, will be sentenced on March 21.

Adam Till, from the CPS, said: “This has been a complex case about a baby whose life was unfairly cut short.

“He would have been an adult today and it’s devastating to think of the life he could have had.

“The circumstances of his death have deeply affected everyone who has been involved in this case as well as the wider community.

“We carefully considered and accepted a guilty plea to manslaughter following a thorough review of the psychiatric reports and medical evidence.

“The evidence concluded that Sharkey’s mental state was significantly impaired at the time of the offence due to a medical condition which diminished her criminal responsibility.

“While the outcome of this case will never bring the baby back, we hope it brings a small measure of comfort to everyone who has been affected by this awful case.”

A British father has won a legal battle after spiriting his two-year-old daughter out of China because he believed his much younger wive was having an affair.

The 57-year-old – identified only as O – ‘clandestinely’ whisked his toddler to the airport and flew back to the UK while her Chinese mother was at work, the High Court was told. 

The father had first met his wife – who is 20 years his junior and only referred to as E – in China 15 years ago, before they wed in Guam in 2020.  They later welcomed their baby girl – known in the court judgement as I – in 2022. 

But their parents’ relationship became ‘strained’ after the birth, with the father suspecting the mother was having an affair when he moved away from the major city where they resided for a new job. 

The mother remained in her previous role, which included a lengthy commute and night shifts. 

Now after ‘clandestinely’ removing his child from the home and bringing her back to England, the father has succeeded in persuading a judge not to have the toddler immediately sent back to China with his wife. 

He argued that Chinese courts discriminate against fathers and that he could possible ‘be the subject of proceedings for abduction’ if he was forced to go through the judicial process in the East Asian country. 

Mrs Justice Judd said that despite her ‘considerable concern’ at his behaviour, the little girl’s future should be determined by the courts in this country. 

The mother discovered her child had been taken when she looked at the baby camera in the morning, later asking a friend to go to the home – where nobody was present. 

‘The car rental company used by the family were able to track the family car to the airport, and the mother then discovered what had happened,’ the court heard. 

Later she also found out her husband had ‘suddenly left his job’. He had then sent her one message to inform her that the child was safe before switching his phone off. 

After some time, the wife was able to make contact with her husband and flew to England to see her daughter. She then applied for a court order to have her daughter returned to China.

On behalf of the father, Jennifer Perrins told the court that I has now been in Britain for just over six months, and that she is a ‘thriving’ British national. 

Ms Perrins also said that O had several concerns if the matter was to play out in Chinese courts, including being subject to proceedings for abduction as well as his ‘insecure’ immigration position.

‘He avows that in the circumstances he cannot accompany I back to China if a return is ordered,’ the court heard.

The father also claimed that E behaved ‘inappropriate[ly]’, at times, and alleged she lacked empathy and had also been abusive and aggressive towards their daughter.  

It was also heard from an expert that the Chinese courts cannot order join or shared custody, whilst Ms Perrins claimed there was evidence suggesting their judicial system was ‘discriminatory’ towards fathers. 

She argued this would breach the father’s human rights under UK law.  

The mother’s lawyer accused the husband of behaving in a ‘clandestine and deceitful way’ in removing their daughter from the country.

‘She submits that I has lived in China all her life, having only visited the UK once before being abducted there last year,’ the judge was told.

‘She was totally settled in China, attending nursery, seeing family and friends, and having her mother as her primary carer. She has a much loved family pet, a cat. The father is not attempting to enable I to keep up her Chinese language.’

However, Justice Judd ruled against the application, saying the child’s future should be decided in Britain, despite ‘powerful arguments put forward’.

‘I have come to the conclusion that it is not in her [child I’s] best interests to be returned to China on a summary basis for welfare decisions to be taken there,’ she said.

‘I realise that this will not be easy for the mother, who has spent a great deal of money and time engaging in these proceedings and coming to see her daughter.

‘In the circumstances of this particular case, I am particularly concerned about the expert evidence that the courts in China do not appear to make decisions allowing relocation back to this country in the absence of agreement, and also as to their ability to enforce cross border contact.

‘The problem is that should I make an order for summary return, it seems it will be decisive as to where I will be brought up.

‘It may be decisive as to whether or not she has contact with her father in England, and, if he is not able to settle permanently again in China, it may be decisive as to whether I lives with her mother or her father.

‘I do not assume for one minute that there is no detriment to I by staying here for longer, being kept away from her mother and what is familiar to her, but at least she has become accustomed to living with her father in the home where she has been for four months and she does appear to be doing reasonably well at home and in nursery.

‘If the ultimate welfare decision is that she should return to live with her mother in China, she will be able to resume her life there without too much disruption to her education, language development and culture.

‘Her physical, emotional and educational needs will need to be decided for the long term, and I am concerned that a decision needs to be made about this with the full range of options, something which is ultimately in her best interests because of the importance to her of both of her parents.

‘She will have suffered harm by being removed by her father in that way and kept away from her mother for so long but ultimately I do not know enough about the capability of each of her parents to meet her emotional needs… to make a decision which would have long term repercussions.’

Justice Judd expressed her hope that the welfare proceedings can get underway as soon as possible.
