American DJ and producer Diplo suddenly revealed that he had a fourth child last year, his first daughter. Per Billboard, the artist shared photos of a family vacation in the Andes in Peru on social media, where fans noticed him holding a small child with an emoji on their face. Moreover, Diplo wrote in the caption that they were celebrating his daughter’s first birthday surrounded by llamas.
As Katie Bain reported for Billboard, this is the first time Diplo has ever spoken about his daughter. He is a father of three already: Locket, Lazer, and Pace, whom he had with ex Kathryn Lockhart and model Jevon King. However, did not mention his daughter’s name or who the mother is. Other pictures of the family vacation include Diplo’s dad and one of his sons at Machu Picchu in Rainbow Mountain.
The Meaningful Caption
Diplo reflected on this family trip through the lengthy caption. The paragraphs are filled with silly anecdotes, yet thoughtful and vulnerable reflections. From his dad asking a shaman if he’d ever find love again after his wife’s passing, to Diplo’s son becoming one with the local culture, the DJ emphasized how much more important family has become to him. He now wants to spend more quality, serene time with his loved ones rather than at the club.
As much as this is a much-needed recovery time for the artist, he has a stacked schedule ahead of him. This weekend, he will be performing at Hi Ibiza, Pukkelpop Festival, and Lowlands Festival. Moreover, he is returning to Las Vegas for a couple shows at Encore Beach Club.
Then, his Run Club will reach six US cities starting in October, including Chicago, San Francisco, New York, Los Angeles, San Diego, and Phoenix.
