Trisha Paytas is pushing back publicly against online body-shaming and persistent speculations that she is expecting a fourth child just months after giving birth to her son Aquaman Moses Paytas‑Hacmon. The 37-year-old influencer addressed the rumours in a TikTok video posted on December 8, 2025, making it clear that she is not pregnant and defending her postpartum body with pride and honesty.

In the video held up on screen alongside baby Aquaman, Paytas can be seen telling her followers directly: “No I am not pregnant. I just had a baby four months ago and my organs have not shifted down yet.” She acknowledged that yes her body has changed and she is currently on tour, but insisted there is nothing more than that to read into it. She emphasised that her body has been home to three children, her two daughters and now her son and she is proud of the life she has created.

Paytas’ message is part of a larger pushback against what she described as harmful and invasive speculation. She referenced another social media mother, Nara Smith, who similarly spoke openly about postpartum body changes after welcoming her fourth child. “We transform and we stretch and we housed three, four babies however many babies we have, we’ve housed them in our bellies,” Paytas said. “This is my body. It was home to this baby and his two sisters.”

Her comments come less than five months after Aquaman’s birth in July 2025. During that tumultuous birth the influencer experienced what she later described as a “traumatic” delivery. It was severe enough that she said she elected to have her fallopian tubes removed and confirmed she and her husband Moses Hacmon will not be trying for another baby.

The postpartum period is often fraught with emotional and physical ups and downs. For Paytas this phase has been lived partly in public, a TikTok tour combined with a newborn, and an unfiltered access to the scrutiny of followers and critics. Her decision to speak up about weight changes and body shape is a direct challenge to the expectations placed on women, celebs or not, especially after childbirth. She made it clear that comfort and health come before conforming to anyone else’s idea of “normal.”

Across social media, reactions have ranged widely. Some applauded her for her transparency and for standing up against body-shaming which often goes unchecked online. Others criticised what they saw as oversharing or attention-seeking. But through it all Paytas appears to stand firm, refusing to let others dictate how she should look or what timeline her body should follow.

Her stance adds to a growing wave of public figures who resist outside pressure and reclaim control over their own narratives. In today’s climate where every post, photo and comment can spark speculation, Paytas’ refusal to let rumours about her body go unanswered may resonate with many who face similar pressures.

This confrontation also raises larger questions about the intrusive culture surrounding celebrity bodies and parenthood. How long should a mother be expected to “bounce back” after having a baby? Who says when a body looks “normal” again? And most importantly, why does anyone outside her family get to ask?

For Paytas, the answer lies in confidence, self-acceptance and truth. As she quietly navigates motherhood, performance commitments, and public scrutiny, she makes clear that her body is her own, changed, healed, real.
