Paytas and her husband Moses Hacmon recently welcomed their second daughter, whom they have named Elvis.
They revealed the name when Paytas was 13 weeks pregnant, with the expectant mum saying she was “manifesting” having two children named Malibu Barbie and Elvis.
“Proud to announce the safe and happy arrival of our precious daughter, Elvis Paytas-Hacmon 05.24.24,” she told her 1.2 million Instagram followers on Wednesday.

Photos showed Paytas and Hacmon smiling with their new bundle of joy, along with photos of big sister Malibu Barbie, 21 months, with the baby.
Fan reactions to the unusual name were mixed.
“Not a drill. Elvis is here,” one said, while another teased, “Elvis is in the building!”
Defending Paytas’ choice of name, a fan said: “She just loves Elvis, and wanted it no matter the gender. Very cute, I think”.
Others were not so impressed.
“Beautiful… But why Elvis? U could’ve named her Marilyn or Priscilla,” one said.
“What an awful name for a child. Whatever happened to just calling your child Emily or Jessica?” another wrote.
“Why do you give your children such awful names? They’ve got to grow up with such tacky names. So sorry for them,” said a third.

Paytas revealed in November 2023 that she was pregnant with her second child, sharing a photo in which she held a series of ultrasound images.
The Youtube star later said on her podcast that she had long since “manifested” calling the bub Elvis.
“I love all names, I think they’re so cute, but I’ve always manifested Malibu and Elvis,” she said at the time.
“It’s always been (one of the) names I’ve said, so that’s it.”
