After launching an OnlyFans account a year ago, Flipping Out star and designer Trace Lehnhoff is reflecting on the “exciting and empowering” career pivot.
In a Q&A on his Instagram Stories, the Bravo alum (who recently celebrated his 37th birthday) opened up “[finding] power” through sharing intimate moments, as well as content with fiance Miles McMillan, with the world.

“I decided to draw from a part of my life that I love,” he wrote. “I love houses and design. I pursue it as a career. I love sexuality and capitalize on what I was basically doing already.”
According to his OF description, Lehnhoff — who dated Antoni Porowski before splitting in 2019 — is in “the top 0.05% of all creators,” “in love [and] very hung.”
As he wrote, finding success on the platform has allowed him “freedoms in my mind and also monetarily.”
“It lets me take bigger risks on both sides because they are happening simultaneously but happen to be separate,” he added.
Furthermore, when asked if he felt “judged by design colleagues,” Lehnhoff revealed those who “respect” and “support” the decision “easily [outweigh]” the others.
“If someone judges it, I just don’t think they really get it,” he said, adding that “most of us all do it. I’m just sharing some of my experiences from my POV.”
Plus, Lehnhoff has surprisingly found a very open-minded community amongst his followers.
“Walls come down, and people tend to speak more freely,” he wrote. “I chat directly with all of my ‘fans.’ I’ve learned so much from so many.”
That said, Lehnhoff and McMillan (who’s an award-winning model) are in a “happily monogamous” relationship, so collaborations are “probably not in the future.”
“I’m inspired by our intimacy,” Lehnhoff explained, adding that he supports “whatever works in anyone’s relationship. This is what works and what I love about ours.”
Back in June 2023, Lehnhoff announced their engagement in a heartwarming post for McMillan’s birthday.
“The first night Miles and I met, we were at a small house party,” he wrote.
“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 added, “There’s a glow in you, Miles, and it beams out of you. It appears in everything you create and exchanges you have.” Aw!
