Following the election of Pope Leo XIV as the head of the Catholic Church, renowned media personality Trisha Paytas has started to make headlines again because her daughter shares a birthday with the new sovereign of the Vatican City State. Cardinal Robert Prevost’s initiation into office has also triggered the resurgence of a meme suggesting that Trisha Paytas’ kids are the reincarnations of certain world leaders.
So, here’s everything you need to know regarding the ongoing viral meme about Paytas and her kids.
Here’s what Trisha Paytas Birthday and Kids Reincarnation meme is about
Cardinal Robert Prevost’s papacy commenced on May 8, 2025, which coincidentally happened to be the birthday of internet sensation Trisha Paytas. While this was enough for the YouTuber to trend on the internet, there is a popular online theory concerning her that seems to have resurfaced as a result.
After the Frenemies co-host welcomed her first daughter, Malibu Barbie, just one day after the tragic passing of Queen Elizabeth II in 2022, users on the internet jokingly noted that the monarch was reborn as Paytas’ child. This gave birth to the infamous meme that claimed that Trisha Paytas’ kids are the reincarnations of historical leaders around the globe.
The theory only picked up pace when Paytas confirmed her pregnancy with her third child, a few days before Pope Francis’ demise. Netizens once again took to the internet to claim that her next child would be the reincarnation of the Argentina-born pontiff. Furthermore, netizens received more material for the running joke when they learned that Pope Leo XIV shares a birthday with Paytas’ daughter, which falls on September 14.
With both Trisha Paytas and Robert Prevost hailing from Illinois, many have noted that the theory could be something more than mere coincidence. While the meme is a hilarious fake shout, Paytas has acknowledged its existence on her podcast, Just Trish, noting that she could consider naming her third child either “Pope” or “Francis.”
