A nominee for Hottest MILF at this year’s AVN Awards, Aria Khaide has just put her two kids to bed,
and is talking to AVN from her home in New Jersey. Her husband, Chris, is working in the background.
“I’m an East Coast hustler,” she says.
A former Division I athlete (cross-country and lacrosse) with a degree in Kinesiology, Aria Khaide
approaches her work in the adult industry with the precision and diligence she applied to being on
the mens’ wrestling team in high school. That is not a misprint. And, on her very first day in the adult
industry, she shot five scenes in a row.
Khaide, who books through East Coast Talent, balances motherhood and porn through organization
and sheer will. She has a wall calendar, a day planner, writes lists before bed to relax, types scheduling
notes to send to her husband and, when she goes to Vegas for work, for example, will take an early
flight, get tested, check into the hotel, shoot her scenes, get a red-eye home, and be there when the
kids get up. “And I’m a mom again.”
Because of this, she has little patience for others who don’t treat porn as a professional job, or who
do the work “in a passionless way.”
“I love this business,” Aria says. “You don’t waste time or resources doing things halfway, so if you’ve
got a clean test and you’re there on time, I’m enthusiastic and ready to go. I want to be the hype girl.”
