Overview
- Diplo disclosed Saturday that he had quietly welcomed a daughter about a year earlier by posting Peru vacation photos that included an image of him holding the infant with the face covered by a red heart emoji.
- He wrote that the family celebrated the girl's first birthday in Peru with photos at Machu Picchu and Rainbow Mountain and a caption that included a line about the child celebrating with “llamas wearing sunglasses.”
- The post did not name the child or identify her mother and outlets report this is his fourth child, following sons Lockett, Lazer and Pace.
- Diplo said he tore up his schedule to make the trip and wrote he would “rather lose sleep with my family than at a club or a rave,” and he is due to resume performances in Ibiza, Las Vegas, Bali and Venezuela later this month.
- Reporters note the announcement balances selective public disclosure with privacy by obscuring the child's face while using personal and cultural reflections from the Peru trip to explain his family-first choice.
