Former MAFS contestant Hayley Vernon is quitting her escort job to become a single mum

Married at First Sight Australia bride Hayley Vernon has revealed she's quitting her job as an escort.

Yep, the 35-year-old has decided to dial back being paid an eye-watering AUD$950 per hour for her time.

She won't be disappearing from the sex scene entirely, but more on that later.

In an interview with Yahoo Lifestyle, the former reality TV star revealed she's taking a step back for one very good reason.

"I’m looking forward to reinventing myself in preparation to becoming a mother so that the first step is to physically stop seeing [escort] clients," Vernon said.

That's right, she is planning on having a baby. But that's not all: she is going to do it as a single gal by using a sperm donor and IVF.

The 35-year-old explained her age was a big factor when it came to deciding to take the plunge into parenthood.

She said if she 'doesn’t have children in the next few years, that ship will sail'.

Vernon knows there are plenty of women out there who can balance sex work as well as a family, however she doesn't know if that's something she wants to do, according to Yahoo.

Hayley took to Instagram on Sunday to confirm her semi-retirement.

She said: "Moving forward I will not be continuing with this aspect of adult work. I wanted to say thank you to all those who have supported me or gave me advice.

"I have loved being able to use my profile to help destigmatise this space.

"As well as providing a safe space to have honest conversation for a profession that can still be taboo."

Even though she will end her outcalls, Vernon has assured supporters that her OnlyFans content will still continue.

She added: "I will still have my [OnlyFans] site which will continue providing fresh content."

And after looking at her bank account, we can see why.

She revealed that her OnlyFans raked in a massive AUD$1.3 million (USD$911,000, £743,000) in only two years, as per the Daily Mail.

We can only assume the pool of men willing to pay AUD$900 (USD$630, £515) an hour for someone's company isn't a particularly large one, so this seems to be a smarter financial bet.

She's explained to her followers that if people wish to still meet her then they will have to agree to that meeting going on OnlyFans.

So they will essentially pay her to help her earn more money. Ingenious.
