Jenna Jameson

Jenna Jameson (born Jenna Marie Massoli) is a former adult film star and businesswoman. As a child she took dance classes and frequently participated in beauty pageants. While she initially intended to become a Las Vegas showgirl, Jameson found it difficult to gain her footing and instead applied to be a dancer at a strip club. It was during this time she adopted the last name Jameson as her professional name in honor of her favorite whiskey brand.

In her early years as a porn star, Jameson quickly made a name for herself due to her ambitious nature. She appeared in her first film in 1993, and directors in the industry were immediately drawn to her, offering her bigger roles just one year later. From 2005 to 2006, Jameson hosted Playboy TV’s reality competition show Jenna’s American Sex Star. The actress went on to retire from the industry in 2008.

Jameson authored a book in 2004 entitled How to Make Love Like a Porn Star: A Cautionary Tale, which became a New York Times bestseller. Through her numerous business endeavors, she managed to achieve her goal of becoming one of the world’s most famous porn stars.

In 1996, Jameson married director Brad Armstrong, and the couple divorced in 2001. In 2003 she married her onscreen partner Jay Grdina. Jameson went on to file for divorce from Grdina in 2006.

She welcomed twin boys Journey and Jesse with boyfriend Tito Ortiz in 2009. They parted ways four years later, and Ortiz was granted full custody. From 2015 to 2023, Jameson was wed to Lior Bitton. The two welcomed daughter Batel in 2017.

She went on to marry influencer Jessi Lawless in May 2023, and the women were together for almost a year before their split.
