I got pregnant at 17 & lived in a council house but now I’m an OnlyFans star & earn £6k a month – my mum is so proud
A MUM-OF-TWO has just bought a £200,000 dream house with income she earned on OnlyFans.
Laura Whyte claimed that she gets loads of hate for her risque job, but boasted her kids will never have to worry about money ever again.
Not only this, but the young woman, who joined the app three years ago and purchased her £200k home with six acres of land last summer, also stressed that her parents are so proud of her.
Laura and her partner of 14 years have achieved their financial goals after years of struggling, to which the content creator, who now lives in Insch in Aberdeenshire, Scotland, explained: “I started OnlyFans in 2022 at the end of the year.
“It was so I could save up to buy a property for my kids’ future – that was the initial motivation, to buy a country home for them to have space and freedom.”
Laura fell pregnant with her son at 17, and had her and her partner’s second child, a daughter, nine years ago.
After growing up in a council house herself, she became concerned with giving her own children a safety net.
She said: “At the time, I didn’t work; my partner was the one bringing in the income.
“He’s the one that brought it up first. He heard a story on the radio, and when he came home that night, he mentioned it to me.
“I wasn’t too confident in myself and my own body so I wasn’t sure at first.
“We spoke about it for a month or two and then I eventually created an account.
“Within the first two or three months was when I first started seeing good results.
“In a typical day, I’ll take my photos in the morning, and then I spend a lot of time on TikTok Live, because I can get a lot of traffic through that.
“I typically make between £5-6k, but it depends on how well your social media accounts are doing that month.”
My mum and dad were really proud – especially my mum

But her career didn’t come without backlash and despite her partner’s support, Laura faced judgement when the family lived in the small village of Aberchirder in Aberdeenshire.
She revealed: “In my previous village, I got a lot of hate.
“I got threats – I had the police around to my door and I had people threaten me with social services if I didn’t take down my OnlyFans account.
“It was quite hard, but by the end of it, I knew I was going to be able to achieve my goal and get a house we love, so I just had to ignore it.”
What is OnlyFans?
OnlyFans is a subscription content service based in London.
As of 2023, it is thought to have more than 220million registered users and over three million content creators.
Sex workers charge monthly fees for access to pictures, videos and more.
While popular for porn, the site isn’t exclusively designed with that in mind – anyone who wants to build up a fan base and charge them for it can set one up.
Celebs like Katie Price and Kerry Katona are popular personalities on the platform.
“Whether you’re uploading tutorials, tips, behind-the-scenes footage or just endless selfies, a lot of your followers would be willing to pay for them,” the company states.
For every subscription that’s sold to a viewer, performers get 80 per cent of the cash while OnlyFans gets the rest.
It isn’t limited to adult content, as it has become popular with physical fitness experts and musicians.
After a year of saving, Laura was able to save a £60,000 deposit to purchase her family’s dream home – a six-acre country property, 30 miles from their previous village.
She confessed: “We were looking for land, because we want to get animals – specifically sheep and a donkey.
“We were just looking for space. Now we’ve got six acres, and it’s just peaceful around here. It’s beautiful.
“It feels amazing. It’s just a relief that my kids have somewhere they can always go.
“I’ve got land as well, so when they’re older, they could put a caravan or even build a house on it if they want.”
Laura claimed her kids understand that she uses social media to earn her living and her parents know about her career and are incredibly proud.
My two kids kind of know what I do – my daughter just thinks it’s TikTok because she’s nine, but my son is a bit older and knows it’s OnlyFans. He understands and he’s happy with what he’s got in life

The blonde beamed: “My mum and dad were really proud – especially my mum.
“She was really impressed by the amount I could earn just on my phone essentially.
“She was really proud of me being able to buy a house because I’m one of the only people in my family to have been able to.
“My two kids kind of know what I do – my daughter just thinks it’s TikTok because she’s nine, but my son is a bit older and knows it’s OnlyFans. He understands and he’s happy with what he’s got in life.”
Now, after over a year of living in their dream home, Laura plans to continue saving for her children’s future.
She shared: “I’d like people to see what I have managed to achieve in such a short space of time.

“My family went from living in a council property to buying a six-acre cottage through my line of work.
“From being pregnant at seventeen, having nothing to our name, me and my partner stuck it out – and fourteen years on, we have everything we could possibly dream of.
“My kids won’t have to worry now. They won’t have to pay massive rents, because I’m not sure life’s going to get any cheaper.
“I’ve got peace of mind that they’ve always got somewhere to stay and be close to us, if they want to.”
