The actress is a proud mother to Waylon "Blackjack" Jennings, 13, and Alabama, 16, both of whom she shares with her ex, musician Shooter Jennings. Despite the typical backlash celebrities face when joining subscription-based platforms, de Matteo has embraced her new path with open arms.

“Blackjack and Alabama. My kids are out there. I’m sorry guys. I’m really sorry. But they know,” de Matteo reveals during a podcast, highlighting her open dialogue with her children.

Family Involvement and Setting Boundaries

During her appearance on the "Not Today, Pal" podcast with Robert Iler and Jamie-Lynn Sigler, de Matteo unveiled a surprising family dynamic.

De Matteo is clear about maintaining boundaries, assuring that her children are not exposed to specific "girl shots".

Financial Struggles and Family Support

For de Matteo, OnlyFans isn't just a career move – it's a financial necessity. After facing a dramatic shift in her work opportunities, the actress turned to OnlyFans to support her family. "I used to have a lot of money. And then, all of a sudden, I went from being allowed to work to never being allowed to work again," she shared.

Her children have been her biggest cheerleaders, even encouraging her to explore this new avenue. "My kids were the ones that were like, ‘Do it,’” she mentions, noting how her daughter Alabama also participates in editing. De Matteo candidly addresses her critics, stating, "Damn straight, I hope you're never in the f*****g position I'm in. I take care of an entire family and a lot of other people who depend on me."

In a world where celebrities often face harsh judgment for their choices, Drea de Matteo's story is a testament to resilience and the power of family support.
