Dating a world-famous personality comes with its own rulebook—especially when that person is Lana Rhoades, once dubbed “the most Googled woman.” Mike Majlak, co-host of the Impaulsive podcast, knows this better than most. Having dated Lana during a high-profile chapter of her life, he’s finally opening up about the realities behind the public intrigue.
In a recent episode of Impaulsive, Mike offered an intimate glimpse into their relationship—one built in the spotlight and filled with unexpected challenges. So, what’s it really like to date a former adult film star?
Who is Lana Rhoades—and why does everyone Google her?
Lana Rhoades became a global name through her work in the adult industry, but fame followed her long after she decided to walk away. Today, she’s a vocal critic of the industry and a lifestyle influencer in her own right. Her openness about her past and her mission to warn young women about the darker sides of the business have made headlines—and drawn curiosity.
Breaking down the stigma
Despite leaving the adult world behind years ago, Lana continues to face assumptions and tabloid-style scrutiny. According to Mike, this stigma followed them both throughout their relationship. Yet rather than avoiding tough conversations, Lana uses her platform to dismantle outdated perceptions and push back against being defined by her past.
“She’s a human being, not a headline,” Mike emphasized. And with millions still Googling her name every year, that reminder feels more urgent than ever.
Dating under the spotlight
What’s it like being the boyfriend of a woman whose DMs are filled with messages from A-listers—including, allegedly, Drake? According to Mike, it was surreal—but he insists he was never insecure about it. “You either trust someone or you don’t,” he said, making it clear that the interest from celebrities never overshadowed their actual connection.
Still, dating someone as high-profile as Lana came with a mental toll. From trolling comments to exaggerated headlines, Mike had to learn quickly how to separate public perception from private reality.
Life after love
They may have called it quits romantically, but Mike and Lana have stayed on good terms. Their ability to support each other post-breakup is rare in influencer culture—and maybe that’s what makes their story feel so refreshingly authentic.
Lana’s focus today isn’t courting attention—it’s shifting conversations. She’s become a voice for self-empowerment, calling out the glamorization of adult work that often hides its emotional costs. And she’s not afraid to get real about how the experience reshaped her approach to love, career, and motherhood.
Lessons in vulnerability
- Being famous isn’t the same as being understood: Even as the most searched woman online, Lana’s deeper story is often missed.
- Dating a celebrity means sharing the spotlight: Interests from the public—and public figures—are part of the package.
- Redefining the narrative matters: Lana isn’t running from her past—she’s using it to change the conversation.
Whether you followed their relationship on social media or just stumbled into this story, one thing is clear: Mike and Lana’s connection was more than just clickbait. It was a collision of two very real lives balancing chaos, curiosity, and the courage to be transparent.
And in a world driven by appearance, that type of honesty stands out—maybe even more than a Google search.
