He recalls how he was in the kitchen and first saw Briana walk from her room to the bathroom. When he saw her ass, he said to himself, “She’s Colombian? Brazilian?”
They shared some small talk—in English—and the next day Marco took part in Briana’s five-guy gangbang. After the shoot finished, they headed to the bar, where at one point Marco reached for Briana to hold her hand. The rest is history.
“Five months later, we were married,” Marco says.
“It was perfect connection,” Briana adds.
Now the couple lives in Alicante, Spain, moving there two years ago from
Barcelona, where they starred in live sex shows together at the notorious Bagdad Theatre.
Marco was no stranger to performing hardcore in front of an audience, having done so for three years in the early 2000s before he came to L.A. to go full force into professional porn.
Briana says she is shy and reserved off the set, but when the lights come on and it’s time for action, “I change to a totally different person.”
She knows her ability to do crazy positions is not common and is always working on becoming even more limber with stretching exercises. When she’s at home, she also practices pole dancing.
“If I can improve it, it would be great,” she says. “I want to do it professional. I like to dance. I enjoy it.”
A dedicated vegan, Briana doesn’t drink, smoke, watch TV or spend money on frivolous items. Instead, she likes learning how to invest, reading business and self- improvement books in Spanish or Russian.
“I don’t pay my Netflix subscription anymore,” Briana says. “I prefer to read or watch something educational...”
Briana overcame eating disorders that began when she was 16-17, suffering from anorexia and then binge-eating. It took her more than three years to fully resolve her issues and get back to a healthy lifestyle.
“I did a lot of terrible things to myself,” she says. “I would cut myself. ... I didn’t like my body.
“When I met [Marco] I still had these problems. ... He would say, ‘Why you do this to yourself?’ But he support me and he taught me a lot and he accepted me like this and I think his love and support helped me.”
She adds, “When I met him I was the same weight but less muscles and more fat and in the first six months after I met him I gained more weight because we were eating in the restaurants and drinking wine.”
Briana says conquering that difficult time in her life built her character.
“I think I became a very strong person and I learned a lot of things about myself,”
she says. “And now my life is better.”
