The internet is no stranger to bizarre conspiracy theories, and one of the most unusual has resurfaced following the death of Pope Francis on April 21, 2025. The theory suggests that whenever Trisha Paytas, a well-known internet personality, announces a pregnancy, a major public figure passes away.

The Origins of the Theory
This peculiar belief first gained traction in September 2022, when Queen Elizabeth II passed away just days before Paytas gave birth to her first child. The timing led to a wave of memes joking that the Queen had been “reincarnated” as Paytas’ daughter.

Fast forward to March 2025, Paytas announced she was expecting her third child, and shortly after, Pope Francis passed away. The coincidence reignited the meme cycle, with social media users humorously speculating that the Pope would be “reborn” as Paytas’ baby.
Social Media Reacts
Following the Pope’s passing, X (formerly Twitter) was flooded with posts referencing the theory. Some users joked:
- “You’re laughing. Pope Francis is about to be reincarnated as Trisha Paytas’ baby, and you’re laughing.”
- “Trisha Paytas being pregnant every time a figure of importance dies is actually insane.”
- “Oh my god, I just remembered Trisha Paytas is pregnant… Welcome back, Pope.”

While the theory is clearly tongue-in-cheek, it has become a recurring meme whenever Paytas announces a pregnancy.
Trisha Paytas’ Response
Despite the viral nature of the theory, Trisha Paytas has not publicly commented on the latest speculation. She is currently focused on her Hacom Tour, a performance series showcasing her personal and professional evolution.
The Reality Behind the Meme
While the internet loves a good conspiracy, there is no real connection between Paytas’ pregnancies and high-profile deaths. The theory is simply a humorous coincidence that has taken on a life of its own.
However, it does highlight the power of internet culture, where memes can shape narratives and create viral moments that transcend their original intent.
