Pasha Petkuns, the husband of top adult film star Riley Reid, has shared his perspective on her career, which includes stepping away from the adult film industry to focus on creating OnlyFans content. In an interview on the No Jumper podcast, Petkuns admitted that, at first, he questioned whether their relationship would be considered “normal” due to Reid’s past. However, a friend’s advice helped him realize that public opinion shouldn’t dictate their happiness, and he now views her career as “just life.”
Petkuns also shared that his family is supportive, with his mother only caring about his happiness. He mentioned preparing his family for potential judgment by showing them Reid’s work, which they accepted with understanding. Although two friends distanced themselves after his marriage to Reid, he described those instances as minor reactions compared to the overall support they’ve received.
Their relationship has led to a new chapter in Reid’s life, including marriage and becoming parents in 2022. Reid, whose real name is Ashley Matthews, has spoken about separating her professional persona from her personal life and preparing for conversations about her career’s potential impact on her child.
Despite public scrutiny, the couple appears strong, with Petkuns openly appreciating Reid’s transparency and their mutual commitment to moving forward as a family. Their story highlights the complexities of navigating love and acceptance amid societal expectations.
