Former Flipping Out star Trace Lehnhoff shared why he decided join OnlyFans.
The Bravo alum, 37, said that the X-rated subscription site gives him financial freedom and is ’empowering’ in a New Year’s Day Q&A on Instagram.
He also called those who may judge his choices to post intimate content ‘closed minded’.
The interior designer, who appeared on three seasons of the Bravo series, also revealed his thoughts on sharing bedroom content featuring him and fiancé Miles McMillan.
After a fan asked how he feels ‘knowing people see you in OF naked/having sex’, Lehnhoff — who previously dated Queer Eye’s Antoni Porowski — replied: ‘Exciting and empowering.’
‘I didn’t anticipate the community there. Walls come down and people tend to speak more freely. I chat directly with all of my “fans.” I’ve learned so much from so many.’
As for what made him join OnlyFans, Lehnhoff said that the money he makes allows him to truly pick the projects he is excited to do, and not those he previously would have felt pressured to do.
‘I continue to find power from my OF. I decided to draw from a part of my life that I love. I love houses and design. I pursue it as a career. I love sexuality and capitalize on what I was basically doing already.’
He went on: ‘I’m driven by hard work. It satisfies me. I’m hungry for it. Plus it has awarded me freedoms in my mind and also monetarily.’
‘I can compromise less on both because I’ve diversified my interests. It let’s me take bigger risks on both sides because they are happening simultaneously but happen to be separate.’
‘I may turn down a project more easily that doesn’t excite me whereas I might’ve felt pressure to do it before OF. And I do what I’m comfortable with on OF – and lately feel inspired to push it further because I’m ready on my terms.’
When asked if he feels judged by any of his design colleagues due to his OnlyFans work, he wrote: ‘If someone judges it I just don’t think they really get it. It’s one thing if it isn’t for them. But to judge it seems closed minded.’
‘I’d say most of us all do it, I’m just sharing some of my experiences and from my POV. I know wayyyy too many colleagues who I respect that like and support it and that easily outweighs those who judge.’
When asked whether he has any collaborations coming up in 2025, Lehnhoff clarified that he and his model fiancé, who previously dated Star Trek’ actor Zachary Quinto, are monogamous.
‘Probably not. We’re very happily monogamous. I’m inspired by our intimacy. I think that translates to my subscribers.’
After a fan expressed how happy they were to hear that the pair are monogamous, Lehnhoff said, ‘I’ve gotten so many encouraging and kind comments about this. I support whatever works in anyone’s relationship. This is what works and what I love about ours.’
The pair announced their engagement in 2023. Trace announced the news on Instagram at the time, as he celebrated Miles’ 34th birthday.
‘The first night Miles and I met we were at a small house party. Leaving, we exchanged numbers and about his third text to me he was asking when my birthday is. He told me his is June 27th and what I didn’t know then is that June 27th would easily become my favorite day,’ he started his post.
‘There’s a glow about you Miles and it beams out of you, it appears in everything you create and exchanges you have. Also, seeing as I’m sharing, I took this photo of us in Japan on the day I proposed — because wanting to spend my life with you is just as easy as knowing today is my favorite day ♥️ I love you @milesmcmillan — happy birthday!!’
Lehnhoff was previously in a relationship with Porowski, but they split in 2019 after a year.
McMillan also split from his ex-boyfriend Quinto — who played Spock in the rebooted Star Trek film series — in 2019, after six years together.
