Steve Aoki has melted Instagram with a carousel of tender new photos of his young son, Rocky77. The Dim Mak founder captioned the post simply with "I love this life." Furthermore, the shots show a softer, slower side of an artist known for tour chaos and stage cakes. The response from fans and peers was instant.
Aoki and his wife Sasha Sofine welcomed Rocky77 in July 2025, on the couple’s wedding anniversary. Notably, it is the DJ’s first child, a milestone he has spoken about openly across the last year. The pair married in July 2024 after a long private relationship. Meanwhile, Aoki’s earlier marriage to Australian model Tiernan Cowling ended in 2018, and the couple never had children together.
The new dad has rarely paused his schedule. He still tours heavily, runs Dim Mak, operates the Aoki Foundation and builds out ventures across NFTs, esports and food. However, fatherhood has visibly shifted how he talks about his life online. In addition, recent posts trade festival kilometers for small domestic moments.
Indeed, the Instagram carousel caught a mood that dance fans rarely see from Aoki. The photos show him cradling Rocky77 with a quiet smile, far from the front-row cake launches. Crucially, the simple caption landed harder than any hook drop would have. In short, one of the most active touring DJs of the last 20 years is clearly living a new chapter, and he wanted the world to see it.
