The heir to the Kat Von D empire could not be any cuter. The former makeup mogul welcomed a beautiful baby boy into the world in November 2018, and he has since become the center of her world. The tattoo artist and her musician husband, Rafael Reyes, announced his arrival in December 2018 on Instagram and revealed that they name him Leafar Von Drachenberg Reyes. Leafar is not a regular boy, his tattoo-loving, edgy parents live such an alternative lifestyle that even his first name is so unsual. The child's name is his father's name spelled backward!
The new parents were over the moon to finally have their adorable bundle of joy with them and ever since then, they have shared the cutest pics and videos of him through all his stages.

Leafar is not your average baby. He doesn't wear baby blue and pastels and didn't have the tender newborn photo shoots that most babies have. His baby pictures are of him wearing black or other muted colors and even tons of red. His rock and roll dad has made baby Leafar the coolest kid on the block and his tattoo artist mom makes sure he is nothing like the rest. Scroll through to see some of the most adorable photos and videos Kat Von D and husband Rafael have shared of their baby boy in the first years of his life.

There's nothing like cuddling with your little ones.
This picture of Kat laughing and cuddling her little boy is the sweetest pic ever! They both look so beyond happy and these are the moments that deserve to be captured and for that she expressed gratitude to her hubby, and she captioned the post in April 2020, "Thank you @prayers ."

This family portrait is so special.
"My heart explodes with joy getting to take our very first family photo together in our new home!" she captioned this post in February 2020. "This is just a screen grab of an outtake from our shoot with the @sequoiaemmanuelle–we’ll reveal the final images after we get them printed+framed for our family photo wall. Every day I wake up and still can’t believe I get to live this life with @prayers. #nuestrafamilia #envidayenmuerte #casavond."
He's a little model.
"Hello, world! Just wanted to share a baby clothing designer I recently discovered. I normally don’t promote spending when it comes to the baby industry who is constantly pushing moms to overspend on things they don’t need, but when I first saw @shirleybredal ‘s designs, with all the hand-knit woodland embroidery, I fell in love with the timeless asthetic," she captioned this pic showing off her baby's new clothes in March 2020. "I purchased 3 pieces for Leafar, [you can swipe to see which ones I got] and I plan on eventually passing them down to someone else once Leafar grows out of them."
Dad and Leafar are like twins!
This pic Kat shared of her two guys is so sweet! "Loves of my life. @prayers," she captioned this pic in February 2020. Rafael might seem like a tough guy but a cute baby like this brings out just about anyone's softer side.
This video is everything.
"Hanging with Leafar in our comfy bathtub, enjoying the view while @prayers is preparing lunch for all of us. I don’t take much time off from work [especially lately], but always try my best to make Sundays our family day," she captioned this post in February 2020. "Sending everyone so much love today from our family to yours. X."
This mom and son pic is so cute!
The mamá shared this pic of her son in January 2020 and it's so cute! Soon enough he will get so big that she won't be able to lift him up so easily so it's important that she cherishes these sweet moments with her baby boy.
His first birthday post was so cute.
"Today, my son Leafar, turned 1 year old. If you swipe you can see two photos taken right after he was born, as well as a little “photo-a-day” slideshow where you can watch him growing by the day!" she captioned this post in November 2019. "Everyone warns you about how fast your child will grow, but it is so true. Leafar is reaching milestones every day, and I’m so lucky that I’m able to be there to witness each and every moment. Every day I look forward to seeing him grow into the sweet little boy is becoming. Feliz cumpleaños, mi amorcito. ."
Kat Von D's son is all about the black clothes.
She is definitely passing her love of black down to her son. This baby and mamá love to match, and it's easy when they both tend to wear black from head to toe. "Happy Sunday from Baby Leafar and me! ," she captioned the sweet snap in October 2019.
We can't take his face!
Leafar is so darn cute! His big brown eyes and his chubby cheeks in this mommy and me selfie really give us some major baby fever. "Mi bebito tan lindo. ," Kat captioned this adorable selfie.
She wrote such a sweet message along with this video.
"Yesterday, Baby Leafar got to play with bubbles for the first time," she captioned the post in September 2019. "Strange realization that all the unrequited love songs I’ve ever written [and there are a lot] feel kinda meaningless now when I look at my son and feel what I feel. I wrote this song called 'I Am Nothing' so long ago. And now, as a happily married wife, and a first-time-mom, my definition of Love has evolved from the person I was all those years ago. Regardless, I still love this song, and can’t wait to finally be able release this album in Spring.
Love you all so much. X."
This pic is so sweet.
Every mom knows that your child showing you affection on their own brings you so much joy! "Pure bliss, when he rests his head on my shoulder. My sweet baby boy, ," she captioned this pic in August 2019. So adorable.
We love a good family selfie.
Yes, they might be some pretty cool and edgy parents but they are not above taking an adorable selfie with their son. After all, every parent knows the importance of capturing even the smallest moments with your kids. They grow so fast!
A baby's laugh gives us life!
This video from July 2019 is so full of joy and it's the kind of content the internet needs. Hearing your kids laugh really brings you so much happiness and the makeup mogul wanted to share that joy with others. "Just in case any of you were in need of a smile today. ❤️," she captioned this post.
The father and son duo look so much alike.
Kat shared this post talking about the kind of diapers she has chosen for her son to use. She has gone the cloth route as a way to care for the environment, and we love that decision. But the cutest part of all is seeing the little boy playing with his dad.
Pics with grandma are the best.
"FELIZ DÍA DE LA MADRE, MAMI! Today is Mother’s Day in Mexico, and I can’t even begin to say how grateful I am for my mom," the makeup mogul captioned this post in May 2019. "Things weren’t always as good as they are now between my mom and I, but she never gave up on me. Mami, i know i haven’t been the easiest to deal with, but i wanna be the best daughter i can be to you, y te agradezco del fondo de mi corazón por tu amor y tu paciencia. ❤️."
This is the cutest hat ever!
Have you ever seen anything this cute? We sure haven't! Look at that little pointy hat! "My happy little elf! ♀️ *heart explosions* ," Kat lovingly captioned this photo of herself and her son.
This photo is so special!
This photo was from Leafar was just a little less than a month old in December 2018. It's so special because they look so alike from their side profiles, and it's like we're seeing their younger and older selves through a mirror.
He's getting so big.
We love how much he looks like his mom and dad. And this photo Rafael shared in December 2019 is the freaking cutest! He's definitely getting bigger, and fast!
When he turned 1 year old!
The proud dad shared this photo of his son's birthday when he turned a year old. "Today my beautiful son turns one ," the musician captioned this pic in November 2019. What a cool little dude!
What a cutie.
We love the way his hair is growing! The loving dad shared this pic of his son soaking up the sun's rays in September 2019. There's nothing like spending time with a super happy baby like this one. It really makes life brighter.
Their anniversaries are extra special.
Rafael shared this pic of his wife and their son to celebrate their wedding anniversary in June 2019. "You make time for me. You make time for us. You include me in everything you do. You make me feel special and important every single day!" he captioned the post. "Today it’s paper my love and soon it’ll be infinitude. Together En vida Y En muerte Mi Amor Under your spell."
Rafael has a way with words.
For Mother's Day 2019, he shared some pics of his wife and their son along with a super sweet message:
"She’s my best friend, my rock, my wife, the love of my life, she’s my everything! I’ve had great things happen to me this year but I’ve also had to deal with lots of hardships. But this time I didn’t have to face the world alone, I had my beautiful wife by my side the entire time. I literally brought in the New Year 2019 with so many highs and lows all bundled together. The birth of our beautiful and healthy son Leafar a huge high! The opposite side of that coin was finding out that my mother has cancer in the form of Multiple Myeloma. I got so scared that the fear of losing my mother left me bewildered and paralyzed like a deer in the headlights. But my empathetic and loving wife stepped up, in my time of need and she pulled me out of desolation. She reminded me that what my mother needs from me right now is my support, strength, courage and love. Not fear! I guess what I’m trying to say is that I love you Kitty! Happy Mother’s Day."
What a tiny little nugget.
This was one of the first pics the couple shared of their son when he was born in 2018. He is so tiny here! His little eyes were barely opening but dad captured this moment of his big brown eyes perfectly.
The happy dad showed off his son.
"My pride and joy Leafar Von Drachenberg Reyes ," he captioned this stunning pic of his little baby boy. It's amazing how fast they grow and incredible to see just how tiny he used to be just some time ago.
