Diplo confirms he has welcomed a son with model Jevon King

Diplo has confirmed that he recently became a father for the third time by welcoming his first child with Jevon King.

The DJ, 41, is already a parent to Lockett and Lazer Pentz, who were born during his previous relationship with Kathryn Lockhart.

Diplo, real name Thomas Wesley Pentz, shared the news on Sunday while celebrating the women in his life on American Mother’s Day.

Posting on Instagram, he shared a series of three images; one of his mother with him as a child, another of Lockett and their two kids, and a third of King and her young son.

He captioned the snaps: “Thanks for giving me life and helping me create it - the three strongest mothers in the world.

“I'm still a work in progress but u have given three perfect beautiful boys. I love you all til the moon and back.”

King, a 30-year-old former Miss Universe contestant, welcomed her son Pace in late March.

She marked Mother’s Day by sharing a picture of her son online for the first time.

“In the midst of all this chaos you’ve been my peace,” King wrote next to the adorable picture.
