A.J. Applegate (born September 23, 1989) is an American pornographic actress.[3]

Early life

Applegate was born in Massapequa, New York[2] and raised in Connecticut.[4][5] She is of Italian and German descent.[1] She was a dancer and cheerleader for 14 years prior to her porn career.[6]

Career

Applegate began working as a stripper when she was 19 years old[2][5] at the Gold Club in Hartford, Connecticut.[4] She later worked as a nude model, fetish model, and dance teacher.[2]

She entered the adult film industry in 2012 and initially used the stage name Kaylee Evans.[7] Her first scene, titled "Big Butt Bouncing", was for the Mofos.com website I Know That Girl.[8] She decided to change her stage name after noticing that both the first name Kaylee and the last name Evans were common in the industry and she wanted to differentiate herself from other porn stars.[7] She chose the first name A.J. because she likes unisex names and the last name Applegate because she is often told that she resembles Christina Applegate.[7]

Applegate claims to have had anal sex for the first time in her life on camera in Let's Try Anal for Mofos.[9]

Applegate plans to work in the adult industry for as long as possible and achieve "MILF status".[2][5][7] She also stated that she hopes to direct and have her own production company in the future.[2]

Personal life

As of December 2013, Applegate is attending school to earn a personal training certification.[2] In 2014, she became certified in Zumba.[10]

Applegate identifies as bisexual.[10]
