An OnlyFans creator who left home at just 14 says she has finally found stability after buying her first house, funded by her adult content career.
Cecilia Rose, 26, spent more than a decade bouncing between basement apartments in Toronto after a fallout with her parents over how she wanted to live her life.
Now the Canadian says she has “far surpassed even my wildest dreams”, turning the Covid lockdown into the moment everything changed.

“I moved out of my parents’ house when I was 14, so I was always working for rent and livelihood,” Cece told NudeNewz.
“I was bouncing from basement apartment to basement apartment in the city of Toronto.
“If I were to put myself in my shoes prior to me starting, I would have never envisioned my life to look like it does today.”
Getting the keys to her own place marked the end of years of instability.
“I think it was two years in, I bought my first ever house,” she said.
“That was something I never thought I would be physically capable of doing at the age I did it at.
“Finally, I can be like, okay, I can settle now.”
Cece says she left home as a teenager after a fundamental clash with her parents about her future.
“I just had a disagreement on how I wanted to live my life versus how my parents saw it for me,” she said.
“There wasn’t any compromise. It was either this way or no way.
“So I was like, okay, so no way, and I’ll figure it out.
“I started working right away.”
Before finding success online, she worked long days in food service and took occasional modelling jobs, but had no time to pursue it properly.
That changed when Covid hit.
Canada’s emergency relief payments meant she no longer had to choose between paying rent and chasing her goals.
“I didn’t have the pressure of having to make money to feed myself or to do rent,” she said.
“I was like, okay, I have all of that covered. I can do what I want now.
“I think Covid changed my life, to be honest.
“I know a lot of people don’t like Covid, but I don’t think I’d be who I am today without it.”
Despite leaving home so young, Cece has rebuilt her relationship with her parents.
“I do speak to my parents now,” she said.
“It’s not like I disowned my parents. We just don’t work as a household.”
She says her friends and family are now fully supportive of her career.
“Everyone in my life has taken it okay,” she said.
“My friends and my family are the most important thing to me.
“We had conversations and they all came to agree with what I do.
“They’re 100% supportive.”
Looking back at her old life, the contrast is stark.
“Instead of working for someone else, I’m able to do what I like, and it’s obviously more fruitful than working in a kitchen from 6am to 6pm every single day,” she said.
“It allows me to have more time for my friends and my family and myself.
“That is honestly my biggest priority in life.”
Now a homeowner, Cece hopes her story shows others they are not stuck where they start.
“I wish I could get a lot more people to realise that they can take control of their life and do the things they want to do,” she said.
“They don’t need to be stuck in a box or a bubble.
“You have the ability, if you work hard enough and want it enough, to get whatever you want in this life.”
