Diplo quietly welcomes another child

The 47-year-old DJ - who already had Lockett, 15 and Lazer, 11, with former partner Kathryn Lockhart and six-year-old Pace with Jevon King - surprised fans when he revealed he recently celebrated his daughter's first birthday during a family vacation in Peru.

Sharing a number of photos from the holiday on Instagram, including one with him carrying his daughter, who had a heart emoji covering her face, Diplo wrote in a lengthy caption: "What gets me about the incas is that nobody told them it was impossible. no wheels, no shoes, some bullshit uncooperative alpacas, no iron, no writing. They just eating corn, potatoes and guinea pig. and they cut stone the size of a car and set it so tight you can’t get a knife between the joints, dragged them halfway up a mountain. 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.

"dad asked a shaman if he’d find love again since my mother passed which is not a question i’ve ever heard him ask out loud. It was the vulnerable thing I’ve ever heard him say.. my daughter celebrated her first birthday with llamas wearing sunglasses …Lazer couldn’t find peru on a map a week ago and walked out of the airport in a poncho and an alpaca hat looking like he been selling ayuasca to backpackers .. watching your kid become someone new in real time is the whole thing. (sic)"

Diplo - whose real name is Thomas Wesley Pentz - admitted it had been a struggle to fit the trip into his hectic summer schedule but he knew it was important to make it a priority.

He added: "This trip didnt fit anywhere in my schedule so I just tore it up the calender because I’ve missed things before telling myself there’d be a next time. there isn’t always...

"i always have a lot on. But id rather lose sleep with my family then at a club or a rave this summer.. happiness is all just moments we collect and some of them sit at 15,000 feet, listening to a band play Los mirlos on a train to Cusco. The Shaman told my dad in Quechua that hes got love all around him . I fell asleep on the floor in my son’s lap in this old library where we passed around Guinea pig bones and coca leaves.

"But now its time to get back to work, this trip was worth reaching even thought it’s hard to reach (sic)"
