There’s a certain softness to Charlie Valentine’s voice — like velvet over steel. She’s warm and easy to talk to, but there’s no mistaking the strength in her words. A Vegas native with glossy black hair and classic Bettie Page bangs, she gives off a timeless kind of cool: the kind of woman who rescues senior pets, meditates before every shoot and genuinely wants to know the story behind your antique furniture.
“I’m born and raised in Vegas,” she says, settling in after a quick wardrobe change prompted by a brunch-time spill. “I’ve lived here nearly my whole life. I moved away a few times, but I came back and planted my roots again because it was affordable — and honestly, so convenient for work.”
With frequent trips to LA, Valentine says, she basically lives in both cities, blending desert calm with a dose of coastal energy.
Her journey into adult entertainment wasn’t impulsive, but intuitive. Valentine was working as an assistant manager at a Starbucks inside a Barnes & Noble when she picked up Jenna Jameson’s biography.
“I burned through that,” she says. “And I felt this weird allegiance to her. She didn’t go to my high school, but she went to the one right next to mine out here in Vegas — so I was like, okay, my hometown hero.”
That book, she says, was her first real window into the world of sex work.
“It was one of the first things I can remember that made me see that sex work deserved to be humanized,” she reflects.
What followed were years of curiosity. She worked for a website that focused on local events and would write up coverage while researching everything from business mixers to exotic dancer columns in the local alt-weekly.
“I always gravitated toward stories about this industry,” she says. “The autonomy, the expression, the duality between your personal life and your on-camera identity — it all fascinated me. The way your brand merges with who you are spoke to me on so many levels.”
Eventually, a friend invited her to co-host a cam show. That moment lit a fire.
“It was like, ‘Oh, this is what I’ve been circling around for years,’” she remembers. “Everything I’d been reading about, all that fundamental research, it was because something in me already felt connected to it.”
It wasn’t until the pandemic, however, that Valentine seriously considered shifting from a full-time civilian job into adult content creation.
“The world was at a standstill,” she says. “I figured, why not dip my toe in?”
By the summer of 2021, she had her first studio scene lined up, signing with Next Level Talent and jumping in with thoughtful intention.
Valentine’s debut scenes were with the late Jake Adams.
“He had such an enigmatic, kind, warm personality,” she says. “I figured if everybody in this industry was even a tenth as nice as he was, I’d be okay. He made it easy for me to enjoy myself and let go of the nerves. I’ll always carry that with me.”
Since then, she’s worked with major talents — including three times with Dredd.
“He’s a stellar gentleman,” she says with a laugh. “He runs his business with integrity, treats his co-stars with respect and every time we shoot together, I get pleasantly surprised by what my body is capable of.”
Valentine’s experiences with professional representation have also been positive.
“I started with Next Level, then worked with OC Models and now I’m with ATMLA,” she notes. “Each agency brought something unique to the table, and I’ve truly appreciated my time with all of them.”
When it comes to sharing advice with newcomers, Valentine highlights one theme above all.
“Community is everything,” she says. “Our industry is one of the few where mentorship really thrives. I always tell people to find performers you admire, reach out in a polite, professional way and just ask questions. We all want each other to succeed. There’s so much support here, especially among the women. We’ve been through things and want to help the next person avoid those pitfalls.”
That sense of purpose extends to her relationship with her fans as well. After taking a year-long break from shooting in 2023, Valentine returned in 2024 with renewed energy.
“I didn’t do any personal content or OnlyFans during my break, but my fans still showed up for me,” she says. “Now I want to show up for them. I’m putting my energy into consistent content, engaging more and just rebuilding those connections.”
What’s next for Charlie Valentine? Her goals are simple but ambitious.
“I want to do a feature,” she declares. “That’s my big thing for 2025. And I want to continue growing my personal content. I’ve done some amazing work already, but I feel like I’ve only scratched the surface.”
Supporting her in all these pursuits is Valentine’s grounded spirituality, a thread that runs through her life and work.
“It’s about intention,” she explains. “Before I get on set, I meditate, I listen to affirmations, I play music that gets me into a high-frequency space. Even if it’s just 10 minutes, it helps me show up with better energy. I always say, I’m honoring the goddess in me.”
She also trains in hot yoga.
“Yoga has been my primary form of working out for all of my adult life,” Valentine says. “But I’ve been branching out a little, doing more weightlifting and Pilates reformer. It keeps the anxiety at bay — and keeps my booty up and plump where it needs to be.”
After shooting, however, the rituals are less about accessing inner divinity or perfect glutes, and more about comfort food.
“A big, juicy burger,” she laughs. “Maybe nachos. There’s nothing like a big plate of nachos after an anal scene! That’s my aftercare. I need a good meal, and then I’m cuddling my dog on the couch.”
Valentine’s rescue pup, Honey Toast, is her constant companion — a white-and-tan Korean Jindo she adopted eight years ago.
“She’s my longest relationship,” Valentine jokes. “She’s like a cat — you have to earn her trust. I’ve learned so much from her. She’s got boundaries, she knows what she wants, and she teaches me to demand respect every day.”
A proud advocate for rescue pets, Valentine sports a tattoo that says “Lulu,” the name of a 17-year-old Siamese lynx cat she adopted after a breakup.
“Everyone asks who Lulu was,” she says. “I tell them, ‘She saved me.’ She had crossed blue eyes, perfect circle dots in her fur and the kindest heart. No one wanted her because she was old, but I was like, ‘You and me, girl. Get over here!’”
Nor is it just senior animals that occupy a special place in her heart. Valentine also lights up when she talks about vintage aesthetics — midcentury homes, antique stores and thrifted treasures.
“On my days off, I walk Honey Toast through old neighborhoods and imagine the lives lived in those homes,” she shares. “Then I hit the antique malls and try to resist buying things I absolutely do not need — but absolutely do need.”
She compares it to walking through a museum.
“I love the stories,” she says. “Like, who owned this cabinet before? How many kids grew up with it? I think about that all the time.”
That blend of introspection and playfulness is part of what makes Charlie Valentine so compelling. She’s the kind of woman who binge-watches “Real Housewives” one night and contemplates intergenerational healing the next.
Through it all, Valentine still marvels at the joy of simply getting to play for a living.
“I feel lucky,” she says. “I get to show up, be glamorous and live out fantasies. And the fact that I’ve built a community that supports me through it? That’s magic.”
