Rachel Steele, the trailblazing creator behind Red MILF Productions and a pioneer of taboo adult content, opens up in an honest and deeply personal new interview with eBaum’s World, “I Was a Porn Star Widow. Marrying a Fan Healed My Broken Heart.”

The revealing first-person feature traces Steele’s remarkable journey – from a chance contest win that launched her adult career to the devastating loss of her husband and creative partner, Frank Steele, in 2014. “When he was gone, I felt as if someone had cut off my right arm,” she shares in the interview. “He was the Wizard of Oz, and I was Dorothy out in front doing the little dance.”

After stepping away from the spotlight, Steele retreated to her hometown in Maine for six years, where she rediscovered herself through family, nature and solitude. “Living in Maine, right on the coast, you don’t really need to have a hobby,” she says. “I was just enjoying life.”

But a seemingly playful moment on the Kick app in 2017 – offering fans a free photo in exchange for a good answer – connected her with John, a longtime fan with an At the Gates band T-shirt, a gentle nature and a sincere interest in who she was beyond the screen. “He was treating me like a multidimensional human being,” Steele explains. “I’m not just what you see when you click on my website.”

What began as casual conversation turned into something life-changing. Over time, the two fell in love, built a life together and turned Red MILF Productions into a thriving creative partnership. “Ever since John and I got together, everything in my life has gone upward,” Steele says. “My level of production has gone up, and so has the way that I feel and look.”

Today, John manages Steele’s brand and production company, and though he’s stepped away from appearing on camera, he remains central to every part of the creative process. “We went from shooting together on a tripod with some cheap little light to using really nice lights and a really nice camera,” Steele adds. “Now, he does everything – from operating the camera to editing, as well as the administrative stuff.”

Through it all, the relationship has remained grounded in trust, communication and mutual respect. “I told him I needed to expand and work with other people for the brand to grow; it couldn’t just be me and him on a tripod,” she adds. “He agreed, and to this day, he supports me 100 percent.”

From overcoming family-, domestic- and substance abuse to supporting her family through achieving her goals as a performer and artist, Steele looks forward to a bright future with upcoming projects that include a book and a film about her journey from exploitation to personal success and fulfillment.
