An Argentine OnlyFans star has revealed that her income doubled when she got pregnant.

Childhood sweethearts Daniela Belen Chena and Luca Francese moved from La Plata to Chascomus to work at a petrol station in a bid to become financially independent.

But the couple’s plans were shattered when they lost their jobs from one day to the next.

Daniela told local media: “We would start at six in the morning, and there were days when we would work double shifts on the side of the road, far from our families.

“When we were left with nothing, we didn’t really know what to do; we were desperate. That’s when the idea of taking some photos came to my mind.”

She continued: “At first, I was afraid; I didn’t want my family or friends to find out. Only my mum and sisters knew, they were the ones who always supported me.

“At some point, I realised that I wasn’t hurting anyone, and since we were doing well, we stopped hiding it.”

Luca, who is responsible for snapping Daniela and editing the images, said: “When we started, we were concerned about what people might think, and when I told my friends, they found it amusing.

“But when they saw the money we were making, they asked if they could be on OnlyFans.”

He went on: “It seemed strange to me, but at the same time, it was fun, and it motivated me even more when the dollars started coming in, and we realised that we could make a living out of this.”

The couple then had an unexpected surprise when their earnings soared after Daniela became pregnant with their first child.

She told local media: “I was surprised when my body started changing, around four or five months into the pregnancy, and I took some lingerie photos, and the earnings increased.

“Whether it was due to kindness or fetishes, sales increased a lot.”

Daniela revealed that she continued interacting with her subscribers throughout her entire pregnancy.

She said: “The last few weeks I spent resting, and I had no choice but to log in and have fun with the messages.

“I worked until the last day because it was the only thing I could do.”

Luca added: “I don’t have a fixed schedule; some days I work for an hour, and others I dedicate eight.

“The most time-consuming part is answering messages because you have to be attentive because if you take too long, the fan will go to someone else, and that’s money lost.”

Daniela and Luca met in school and have now been together for almost a decade. Their daughter, Dasha, is now five months old.

Daniela told local media: “I always think about mothers who have to work all day, and I’m lucky to live for her.

“Most only have three months of maternity leave, and unfortunately, many things in the baby’s growth are missed.”

On the criticism she received for flogging erotic content while pregnant with Dasha, Daniela said: “I think it’s important to mention that many people think that selling your body is prostitution when in reality, you’re selling illustrations of your body without anyone else being able to touch you. They are two different things.”

The young couple now also boast their own platform, onlycurso.com, where they offer advice to OnlyFans starlets.

They said: “It is important to emphasise that all girls and guys can enter and sell their photos and videos, regardless of their body type because there are fans – as customers in this world are called – for all tastes.”

However, they caution: “Some girls do very well, and others not so much.

“We help them become self-sufficient and independent, but not all of them earn the same or become millionaires.”
