Jenn and Brad claim it also made them ‘better parents’
A couple who started selling saucy videos together online after a cancer scare now rake in up to £21k a month – and say it has made them “better parents”.
The pair – who go by their stage names Jenn and Brad Hanniston – started an OnlyFans account after Jenn was diagnosed with a type of skin cancer in May 2020, when she spotted a mole on the back of her calf that kept growing.
After several tests she was diagnosed with stage 1B melanoma.
Thankfully, the growth was surgically removed three months later, and Jenn, 33, didn’t need any further treatment. But the scare made her want to “embrace life” – so she signed-up to OnlyFans to make some extra cash.
Her husband, Brad, 36, who was working as a roofer at the time, was supportive of the idea and even keen to give it a go with her.
The parents were stunned by the amount of money they made filming their romps and have since quit their day jobs to do it full-time.
The couple – who have been happily married for 10 years – said the job allows them to set their own hours and spend more time with their three kids.
Jenn, who was previously a drama student, from Essex, said the diagnosis was “a bit of a eye opener,” and said it made her “re-evaluate” her life
“Why not do something we enjoy doing and make some money?,” she said.
“We’ve always been a very open couple and keen to explore things together.
“The money is great but one of the best perks is spending more time with the kids.
“We spend more quality time together – it’s made us better parents.”
Explaining why she was keen to get into the world of OnlyFans, she said: “I’ve done some webcamming in the past, so I was comfortable being naked on camera.
“I heard about a friend doing OnlyFans and I thought: ‘Why not?’
“Seemed like a no-brainer money-wise so why not try it?”
When Jenn started her OnlyFans she began to rake in the cash – and when Brad saw how much money she was making, he decided to sign up with her.
Brad said: “We’re always on the same wavelength and are a very open couple.
“I knew we’d work well as a team, so I was game to try it with her.
“We thought we’d make a few hundred and couldn’t believe it went it crept into thousands.”
The couple spend around four hours a day filming content for their OnlyFans page and comedic content for their TikTok account, The Hannistons, which has over 36.2m likes.
But don’t worry, the saucier content is often filmed when the kids are at school or nursery.
Jenn said: “One of the craziest requests we had was to pee on each other which we did.
“It was a very funny moment – as husband and wife, we can have fun and a laugh about it.
“But we draw the line at inviting anyone else in – that’s not something we’d want to film and have out there.”
During one of their best months, they made a whopping £21,000 together.
But the couple insist it isn’t “easy money” and have worked hard to build followers.
Brad said: “It’s taken a long time and a lot of graft to build followers and get to where we are now.
“Nowadays, you can’t just sell some pics of your feet at expect to make thousands. You have to give people the full shebang – it has to be worth it for them.
“Otherwise, people could just to Pornhub or get it for free.”
They’re not shy about the job and will openly discuss it with anyone who asks.
Even their children are aware of what they do for a living, but they try and shield them from it as much as possible.
Jenn, who has a three-year-old with Brad, and two kids aged 13 and 16 from a previous relationship, said: “Friends and family all know what we do for a living – my mum is super supportive.
“But we try our best to keep our children off social media or knowing too much about it.
“There is a lot of stigma attached to doing a job like this. You need a really thick skin – especially as a woman.
“Some messages can be very pushy, so I can imagine it’s a lot of pressure for a woman doing it alone.
“I feel very lucky in that sense that we’re doing this together.”
Brad added: “We’re a great support system for each other – staying strong and setting boundaries.
“Sometimes we film content at night when the kids are in bed, which some people have commented on. But I say, don’t all parents have sex while their kids are in bed?
“We just have a camera there with us – we’re actually a very vanilla couple. At the end of the day, we’re not hurting anyone.
“We’re having fun and enjoying ourselves and it’s made a stronger couple.”
