You’ve seen him sitting quietly in the background of a chaotic mukbang or smiling through a gender reveal that looks like it cost more than a suburban mortgage. To the casual scroller, he’s just "Trisha’s guy," the calm to her storm. But if you actually look at the trajectory of their lives since 2020, Moses Hacmon is a lot more than a supporting character in the Trisha Paytas cinematic universe.
Honestly, when they first started dating during the pandemic, nobody thought it would last. Not the fans, not the drama channels, and certainly not the H3 Podcast crew who literally introduced them as a joke. Yet, here we are in 2026, and the "water man" is still standing, now as a father of three and the backbone of a massive digital empire.

The Architect of the Hacmon Family
Before the paparazzi started following him to Target, Moses was an Israeli artist and architect obsessed with the physics of water. He moved to the U.S. in 2002 and eventually graduated from the Southern California Institute of Architecture. He spent years on a project called "Faces of Water," using a specialized photographic process to capture the movement of liquid. It’s high-brow stuff—sculptures, cinematography, and deep philosophical musings on how water is the "body of consciousness."
Then he met Trisha.
It was a "Bachelorette" segment on the H3 Podcast, hosted by his sister Hila Klein and brother-in-law Ethan Klein. The rules were simple: Trisha wasn't supposed to actually talk to the contestants outside the show. But then the world shut down for COVID-19. Moses and Trisha started DMing. They quarantined together.
The fallout was nuclear. The relationship caused a massive rift with the Kleins, leading to the end of the Frenemies podcast and a family estrangement that, by all public accounts, hasn't fully healed even now. People called it a "spite marriage." They said he was a "clout chaser." But five years and three kids later, that narrative is getting harder to sell.
Why Moses Hacmon is the "Secret Sauce" to Trisha’s Rebrand
If you’ve watched Trisha lately, she’s different. She’s... stable? It’s a word no one used to describe her back in the kitchen-floor-crying days. Much of that shift is credited to Moses. He doesn't just tolerate the chaos; he absorbs it. He’s the co-host of her Just Trish podcast, the guy who builds the elaborate sets, and the primary caregiver while she’s out manifesting a Broadway run or, more recently, considering a 2026 congressional bid in California.
They’ve built a life that is unapologetically "Trisha" but feels anchored by his presence.
- The Kids: They have three now. Malibu Barbie (born 2022), Elvis (2024), and their son, Aquaman Moses (born July 2025).
- The Content: Moses has moved from being a camera-shy artist to an ASMR creator and podcast personality.
- The Vibe: He’s the first person in her life, according to her, who "doesn't try to dim her sparkle."
It’s easy to judge the names or the over-the-top lifestyle. But in the world of influencer marriages, where most couples flame out after eighteen months of "Why We Broke Up" videos, their longevity is actually kind of impressive. He’s not just a husband; he’s her production manager, her peace of mind, and apparently, the only person who can keep the "Trisha Paytas" brand from self-destructing.
Addressing the Elephant in the Room: The Family Drama
We can't talk about Moses without mentioning Hila and Ethan Klein. The internet still asks: Do they talk yet? The short answer is no. While Trisha and Moses have moved into a "mom and dad" era, the bridge to the H3 crew seems to have been burned to the waterline. Moses has largely stayed silent on the drama in recent years, focusing instead on his own "Channel Water" and the Just Trish production. Some fans think the estrangement is the ultimate price he paid for his marriage. Others think he finally found the family he actually wanted.
Moving Forward: What’s Next for the Hacmon-Paytas Duo?
If you're looking for the "actionable insight" here, it's that Moses Hacmon is a case study in digital reinvention. He transitioned from a niche, high-concept artist to a mainstream internet celebrity without losing his weird, water-obsessed identity.
As they navigate 2026, keep an eye on:
- The Political Move: If Trisha actually files the paperwork for her "California could be good" congressional run, Moses will be the de facto campaign manager.
- The Production Shift: Their podcast is outperforming most legacy media in the same niche; expect Moses to take a more "executive producer" role as they expand the studio.
- The Family Brand: With three kids under the age of four, the "Hacmon-Paytas" family is becoming a mini-media conglomerate.
To understand Trisha Paytas in 2026, you have to understand the man standing three feet to her left. He’s not a background character anymore; he’s the architect of the whole thing.
