Introduction
A.J. Applegate (born September 23, 1989) is an American pornographic actress.
Early life
Applegate was born Danielle Corin on September 23, 1989, in Massapequa, New York, and raised in Connecticut. She is of Italian and German descent. She was a dancer and cheerleader for 14 years before she entered the porn industry.
Career
Applegate began working as a stripper when she was 19 years old at the Gold Club in Hartford, Connecticut. She later worked as a nude model, fetish model, and dance teacher.
Applegate entered the adult film industry in 2012 at the age of 22 and initially used the stage name "Kaylee Evans". Her first scene, titled "Big Butt Bouncing", was for the Mofos.com website. She decided to change her stage name after noticing that both the first name Kaylee and the last name Evans were common in the industry and she wanted to differentiate herself from other porn stars. She chose the first name A.J. because she liked unisex names and the last name Applegate because she was often told that she resembled Christina Applegate.
Applegate plans to work in the adult industry for as long as possible and achieve "MILF status". She also stated that she hopes to direct and have her own production company in the future.
Over the years, she has worked with several notable studios, including, Evil Angel, Digital Sin, Combat Zone, and Jules Jordan Video.
Personal life
In December 2013, Applegate began training to earn a personal training certification. In 2014, she became certified in Zumba.
Applegate has the phrase "Ballo D'Amore" tattooed on her right hip, three piercings on each ear, and a navel piercing. She identifies as bisexual.
On July 18, 2019, Applegate tweeted photos of herself with her new boyfriend Danny Mountain (British porn actor), and announced that she was pregnant with him. Three days later, she announced that she was sixteen weeks along. However, this pregnancy was controversial because it came a few weeks after the death of her fiancé, Bill Bailey. She later responded to this controversy and announced that she would temporarily retire from Twitter.
