Stormy Daniels, born Stephanie A. Gregory on March 17, 1979, in Baton Rouge, Louisiana, U.S., is an American female pornographic film actress, director, and former stripper. She began her career in adult films in 2002 with scenes for Sin City and Wicked Pictures, winning the AVN Best New Starlet Award in 2004. Daniels has directed for Wicked since 2004, earning numerous accolades including induction into the AVN Hall of Fame (2014), XRCO Hall of Fame (2014), and NightMoves Hall of Fame. She has secured over 44 industry awards, such as multiple AVN, XRCO, and XBIZ honors for performances and directing.
In her personal life, Daniels has been married four times: to Pat Myne (2003–2005), Mike Moz (2007–2009), Brendon Miller (2015–2018, with whom she has a daughter), and Barrett Blade (2022). She came out as bisexual in 2019 and owns horses, winning equestrian ribbons.
Daniels gained prominence in the Stormy Daniels–Donald Trump scandal. She alleged a 2006 affair with Trump, leading to a $130,000 hush money payment by Trump's attorney Michael Cohen in 2016 to silence her. Trump denied the affair. Daniels sued Trump in 2018 for breach of contract, claiming the non-disclosure agreement was invalid. Cohen pleaded guilty in 2018 to related campaign finance violations. Trump was charged with 34 felony counts of falsifying business records in 2023 and convicted on May 30, 2024.
