Chelsea Jenks Spills On Her Surprising Onlyfans Origin Story

The Unexpected Suggestion

When it comes to career advice, most people might turn to a mentor or a close friend. But for Chelsea Jenks, the spark for her OnlyFans journey came from an unlikely source – her father. The fitness influencer, now 29, opened up about this curious connection in a press release shared with Us Weekly. "My dad is really into boxing, and you get a lot of women boxers who also do OnlyFans," Jenks explained. "Years before I ever started, he actually said to me, 'You should do OnlyFans.' There was a female boxer he followed who had 'no nudes' written in her bio, and he thought it seemed like a good way to make money."

"It's funny that my dad was the one who put the idea of joining OnlyFans in my head before anyone else," Chelsea added with a chuckle.

Despite her father's strict rules during her upbringing, especially regarding boys, Jenks eventually embraced the idea. She recalls a humorous moment from her teenage years when her dad refused to let her stay over at her boyfriend's house. "He didn't want me to have sleepovers with boys, and we'd have to be in separate beds and things like that," she reminisced.

A Family in the Know

Jenks wasn't shy about sharing her OnlyFans venture with her family. The initial conversation with her father was surprisingly smooth. "I saw my dad that weekend and said, 'I've started OnlyFans, I don't know if you saw.' He'd already seen it and was just like, 'Yeah, that's alright,'" she said, noting that it has since become a running joke in the family. "He'll say things like, 'Chelsea would flash her boobs and get paid for it.' It's very tongue-in-cheek."

Her candidness about her content – which includes topless photos – hasn't fazed her parents. "He 100 percent knows I do topless content," Jenks confirmed. "My parents know I do OnlyFans and that it's more than just posting photos online. But I don't think they need to know all the specifics, and honestly, I think that's completely normal."

Handling Public Perceptions

While her parents have been accepting, Jenks has faced judgment from others. "When I first started, I went on a content trip with girls who were more in the porn star space. A family friend unfollowed me," she shared. Despite the occasional judgment, Jenks remains unfazed. "People look down on girls on OnlyFans and assume we're a certain way, but it doesn't work like that. I've been with Will for about nine years – he's the only person I've been with sexually in that time – but people still judge me more than they judge someone in a so-called respectable job who might be doing things behind closed doors."

Jenks remains grounded and proud of her choices, emphasizing that everyone has different facets to their lives. "How you are at work isn't how you are at home," she reflected. "I'm a good daughter, I treat my parents with respect. I'm a pleasant person and I have good manners. As long as I'm not harming anyone or scamming anyone, why does it matter? At the end of the day, it's work."
