Swinger couple share how relationship style led to them divorcing after 11 years

A married couple who opened up their relationship have now revealed that it led to the downfall of their marriage.

Jess and Mike Miller's first foray into swinging was quite the baptism of fire, as it aired on national TV when they starred on Channel 4's Open House: The Great Sex Experiment in 2022.

The adult content creators are believed to have continued to practice consensual non-monogamy from there, while filming some of these encounters to share on OnlyFans.

At the height of their popularity, Jess and Mike were one of the platform's highest-earning couples in the UK, according to The Sun.

The pair made porn their full-time job in September 2019, a year after they started sharing clips on Pornhub, as they began raking in thousands for their raunchy clips.

They began recording their bedroom activities to earn cash to help cover their mortgage repayments, before realising how profitable it could be.

The pair - who share a teenage son and also co-parent Jess' daughter from a previous relationship - claimed to be earning up to £50,000-a-month from their saucy videos.

But Jess has now announced that she has split from her husband of 11 years, while admitting that their careers and everything that came along with it in the swinging department did play a significant part in their breakup.

She met personal trainer Mike in August 2012, who previously said he knew she was 'the one' after their first kiss, before going on to get married in June 2017.

In a TikTok video detailing some of the reasons behind their separation, Jess said: "Some people ask if the job was the ruiner of our relationship.

"I wouldn’t say it was the ultimate ruiner of the relationship, but I think there were elements of it that were a problem when it came to the dynamic of us.

"When it comes to our job, the woman is automatically like the main attraction of it," the mum said, before explaining that she feels this ended up being 'something that ate [Mike] up in the end."

"It wasn’t even like I wanted to be that main attraction...that’s why we always did everything as a couple and I wanted to include him in absolutely everything," she continued.

"There was nothing that I didn't want to include him in and nothing I didn't want him to not be successful in."

Jess claimed that her spouse had put her on something of a pedestal due to his 'own insecurities', while explaining that she 'wanted him to have success on his own'.

"I will always sacrifice everything to try and make the other person happier," she said. "I feel like all of this is a bit of a kick in the teeth, to be honest."

According to Jess, Mike launched his 'solo career' at the beginning of this year, as she said in another social media post: "When that career started, I said to him, 'All I want from you is that you make me feel special'.

"Because if you're going off doing solo stuff, then I need to feel more loved and more appreciated. It wasn't even like I wanted him to use his own money. I asked him to use our money to take me out for dinner.

"If you've gone and done a solo thing with someone - take me out for dinner, make me feel special, make me feel like I'm the one for you. And I didn't get that. I didn't ever get that and that's what I was asking for."

Ultimately, Jess felt as though she had to 'sacrifice her happiness' by prioritising creating adult content, and she 'physically couldn't do it anymore'.

"I put my heart and soul into the career and everything we done," she said.

In his own TikTok video, Mike said he has been residing in an Airbnb for the time being, while he explained he doesn't want to engage in a 'back and forth' online.

"I don't need to explain myself to people who don't even know my name, who have no understanding of the full story," he said. "I'm only ever trying to do the right thing and what's best."

During their appearance on Open House: The Great Sex Experiment, Jess spoke of her reluctance to have their first threesome - although she later ended up enjoying it.

Prior to the sexual encounter, she said: "You just don't know how you are going to feel in that moment until you are there in it...worst-case scenario for me would be that he didn't find me attractive anymore and he wanted to pursue something with someone else. It could happen."
