Diplo Introduces His 1-Year-Old Daughter in New Family Vacation Photos

Grammy-winning producer and DJ Diplo has discreetly expanded his family, revealing that he welcomed his fourth child—and first daughter—approximately one year ago.

The music powerhouse shared the unexpected news via an introspective social media recap documenting an extensive family expedition across Peru. Nestled within an album of sweeping Andean vistas was a photograph of the artist holding a young toddler, her face guarded from the public eye with a heart emoji. In an evocative caption, the producer noted that his little girl marked her milestone first birthday surrounded by “llamas wearing sunglasses.”

This subtle announcement serves as the first public acknowledgment of the toddler. Diplo is already a father to three sons: teenagers Lockett, 15, and Lazer, 11—both shared with former partner Kathryn Lockhart—as well as four-year-old Pace, whom he shares with model Jevon King. Details surrounding his daughter’s name and the identity of her mother have been kept private.

The Peruvian sojourn proved deeply sentimental for the Pentz family, featuring excursions alongside Diplo’s father, Thomas Pentz, and his son Lazer to historic landmarks like Machu Picchu and the high-altitude wonders of Rainbow Mountain. The producer admitted that orchestrating the journey required dismantling his relentless work agenda, explaining that he refused to defer meaningful family connections under the deceptive promise of a “next time.”

“What gets me about the Incas is that nobody told them it was impossible… five hundred years ago. The churches the Spanish built on top of them have cracked; the Inca walls are still there. They had a very large idea of what was possible.”

Beyond admiring ancient architectural triumphs, the producer shared poignant moments of vulnerability from the trip, including his widowed father seeking spiritual perspective from an indigenous shaman, and the rewarding experience of watching his children absorb an entirely different culture in real time.

Reflecting on the contrast between high-energy nightlife and grounding personal milestones, the prolific chart-topper concluded that accumulating quiet, extraordinary moments with loved ones far outweighs the allure of the festival circuit, calling the challenging high-altitude expedition entirely worth the effort.
