Lana Rhoades

Born on September 6, 1996, this 24-year-old American has proven herself a force to reckon with as a porn star. 

Her beautiful face, sexy body, and great acting skills have seen her in countless movies, and fast becoming one of the most popular porn stars today. 

The black hair, blue-eyed vixen has expressed that she is very religious and enjoys baking cupcakes and walking her dog.

Born in Chicago Illinois, Lana Rhoades, whose real name is Amara Maple, started to experience true stardom when she starred in the 2017 film Lana. She has also been featured in many other films and on Playboy Cyber.

 With over 10 million followers on Instagram, Rhoades allegedly has a net worth of 5 million dollars. Though no longer making erotic films, she receives modeling contracts and endorsement deals which provide a hefty sum of her income today.

In the Adult Industry

Which 13 years old would have a dream of being a porn star? Well, Lana Rhodes did. She thought the porn industry to be “glamorous and amazing” even before being in her first film. 

However, it is her belief that this was not because of watching those types of film, because she was not at that age; she said it was her eagerness to escape from her chaotic life and family which included a schizophrenic sister. 

To date, not much is known about her mother or father nor their views on her career choice.

The Girl Next Door series on television helped her to envision the life she wanted to live. In addition, watching documentaries about Jenna Jameson and Anna Nicole Smith provided inspiration and a way to escape her troubled life. 

Yet, in recent interviews, the star explained that she later recognized her naivety when she filmed her first sex scene; the world of the adult film industry was not as glamourous as she thought it would be.

Having worked for adult film companies such as Evil Angel, Jules Jordan Video, Tushy, Elegant Angel, and HardX, Lana has asserted to have been in over 50 films. 

In August 2016, she was featured as the Pet of the Month for the US Edition of Penthouse magazine.

Time in Prison

Just like many of us, in our younger years, we have made mistakes that are very costly. Lana is no different as she has spent time in prison due to being influenced by the wrong crowd. 

Yet, our mistakes have taught us important life lessons which have provided wisdom in navigating the challenges of life. 

Though stating that she did not participate in the act of stealing goods and money when she and her friends broke into houses, she admits that she was with them as a willing accomplice. 

Yet she had to pay the price at the age of sixteen, spending a year behind bars.

Though having to face the harsh realities of being locked up, she noted in her appearance on the podcast “Call Me Daddy” that this was not entirely a bad thing. 

For her, the experience was a wake-up call for her to change her life as she was heading down a very dangerous path. 

Anyone would agree with her reasoning considering her more than 20 arrests prior to her stint in prison and her experience with hard drugs such as heroin. 

She explained that after her experience behind bars, she has not been in trouble with the law since.

Love and Relationship

Lana has boldly come out and stated that unlike what other porn stars have expressed, she has never had a challenge in having relationships. 

In fact, she admits to having boyfriends before her career in porn and believes that now the offers of serious relationships are even more prominent. 

Though jealousy has played a part in some of her relationship experiences, she stated in an interview earlier in 2020 that her boyfriend was not that type of person. 

Rhoades admits that her ex-husband was always the jealous type, who got extremely upset when she watched scenes from her pornographic films even though she has explained that it was just acting.

However, in October 2020, her boyfriend for over ten months, Mike Majlak, announced that they were no longer together. 

He broke this news on YouTube. Though the turmoil in their relationship was open to public scrutiny and fans seem to gobble up the drama, it was hard not to be saddened by the news. 

Lana’s ex-boyfriend thought it was fair that fans were made aware of the breakup due to the love and support they have always shown the couple. 

Even though there have been rumors circulating about Rhoades’ alleged infidelity, Mike has cleared the air to state that that was not the case. 

He claimed that she is fiercely loyal and did not cheat on him. His reasoning for the sudden breakup was due to their differences as he stated that they are simply “two people who wanted vastly different things.” 

His claim is that she was the type who wanted a typical romance where she would settle down with a man, get married, and have a family. 

He was honest enough to share that this was not what he desired and that the idea of moving in with her was just his way of trying to appease her needs. 

It eventually came to a point where they had to accept their differences which would have negatively impacted their relationship in the long run.

It is safe to say as of this date (11/1/2020), Lana is still single. They have both mutually agreed on the breakup and have parted ways peacefully. 

In the same Youtube post, Mike explains that the breakup has been hard for both of them and so avoiding communicating with each other will help the process of moving on. 

Was it her adult film career that played a part in their split? There are still speculations circulating on the web.
