Although the J.D. Vance Killed Pope Francis theory had no basis, it is still fairly possible to imagine how and why the idea surged on the internet — mainly due to its timely humor.

However, another bizarre conspiracy theory is going viral, which claims that the Argentinian Pope will reincarnate as the third child of American YouTuber and influencer Trisha Paytas.


If that's not strange enough for you, the lore surrounding Paytas' last two pregnancies had people posting several similar theories that the YouTuber's kid is a reincarnation of the late Queen Elizabeth and King Charles' cancer diagnosis back in February 2024 coinciding with Paytas' second pregnancy announcement made people believe his death (and reincarnation) was near.

Let's explain everything about the history and viral spread behind the Trisha Paytas' baby reincarnation conspiracy theories and why it's trending once again online.

What Are The 'Trisha Paytas' Baby Reincarnation Conspiracy Theories'?

In a nutshell, the theory essentially suggests that whenever Paytas is pregnant or gives birth around the time a notable figure passes away, that individual is then reincarnated as her baby.

This all started back in February 2022 when TikToker @smurphy_murphy posted a silly lip-dub video (since deleted) in which he coughs into his sleeve under the caption, "Queen Elizabeth holding on for dear life so she doesn't get reincarnated as Trisha Paytas' baby," which marked the first mention of a high-profile individual humorously being reincarnated as Paytas' baby.

The theory continued to go viral following Trisha Paytas' second and third pregnancy announcements years later, spawning a series of speculation and memes about who will die after Paytas announces a baby is coming.

She's also aware of the memes and hops in on the jokes herself, as Paytas talked about during an interview for the Call Her Daddy podcast.

Why People Are Claiming Pope Francis Will Reincarnate As Trisha Paytas' Third Baby?

As of late April 2025, the reincarnation theories have resurfaced once again, with the latest speculation centering on Pope Francis, who passed away shortly before Paytas is expected to give birth to her third child in July 2025.

The internet wasted no time this week in combining both events in hilarious jokes about the religious leader getting ready to live as the kid of the American YouTuber.

For instance, TikTok user @kiva_thediva, who posted a video of Pope Francis greeting Queen Elizabeth II, added the text, "They don't know yet, but they're about to be reincarnated as Trisha Paytas' children," in a recent meme referencing the unserious theory.

How Are The 'Trisha Paytas' Baby Reincarnation Conspiracy Theories' Used In Memes?

There are plenty of creative ways people are creating memes about Trisha Paytas and the reincarnation theories about her children.

On TikTok, fan edits and parodies are the main format of jokes regarding the conspiracy theory, like the video posted by @annelise.but.slayified recently.

Twitter users mainly joke around with the conspiracy theory rather than taking it seriously, pairing it with funny GIFs, reaction images and videos.

For example, Twitter / X user @meowymaui posted about it using the Cynthia Erivo Tapping Her Bald Head meme over a month before the Pope's actual death when he was still just being reported as severely ill.
