American DJ and producer Diplo has surprised fans by revealing he has a one-year-old daughter, marking the first time the artist has publicly acknowledged his fourth child. The revelation came through a series of candid photos shared on social media, documenting a family vacation in the Andes of Peru.
As reported by Billboard, the images captured a serene moment during the trip, where the producer was seen holding a small child with an emoji covering their face. In the accompanying caption, Diplo shared that the family was celebrating his daughter’s first birthday while surrounded by the local landscape and llamas.
This announcement marks a significant departure from the artist’s usual privacy regarding his family life. Diplo is already a father to three sons—Locket, Lazer, and Pace—whom he shares with ex-partner Kathryn Lockhart and model Jevon King. While he has been open about his experiences as a father, he has not disclosed his daughter’s name or the identity of her mother.
A Shift Toward Family Life
In his reflective caption, Diplo opened up about the emotional weight of the trip. He shared personal anecdotes, including a poignant moment where his father asked a local shaman about finding love again following the passing of his wife. These experiences seem to have shifted the producer’s perspective, as he emphasized a newfound desire to prioritize quality, serene time with his loved ones over the demands of the nightlife industry.
Despite this focus on family, the artist maintains a rigorous professional schedule. He is slated for performances at Hi Ibiza, Pukkelpop Festival, and Lowlands Festival, alongside upcoming shows at Encore Beach Club in Las Vegas. Furthermore, his “Run Club” initiative is set to expand to six U.S. cities this October, including stops in Chicago, San Francisco, New York, Los Angeles, San Diego, and Phoenix.
