OnlyFans has a new creator in Australian tennis star Nick Kyrgios.
The 28-year-old athlete announced Thursday that he has joined the website “in an effort to disrupt the way sports stars share content,” according to a press release that promises the upcoming content will “uncover all sides” of Kyrgios’ “big personality.”
Kyrgios, who won his first Grand Slam men’s doubles title at the Australian Open last year, said there was “no reason” to launch the OnlyFans channel.
“They’re revolutionizing social media and I wanted to be a part of that,” he explained in a statement announcing the new channel, adding, “Athletes can no longer just show up on the court or field. We have to show up online.”
Now Kyrgios is looking forward to “creating, producing, directing and owning content” for the channel. “It’s the future,” he added.
“I’ve been talking directly to my fans for years and I know what they want to see.”

Kyrgios teased “tennis balls included” on his channel, as well as “tips, tricks and behind the scenes” in his upcoming content on OnlyFans.
“But he’ll also be able to see all sides of me,” Kyrgios continued. “Games, tattoos, my intimate side – it’s all on the table and I’m going to take the fans along for the ride!”
OnlyFans CEO Kelly Blair said in a statement: “Like OnlyFans, Nick is a disruptor, so it’s great to see him join our platform, finding new ways to share his content and express himself. We can’t wait to see what he has in store for his fans.”

Celebrities joining the platform to produce their own content distributed directly to fans is nothing new, with several stars bringing in big bucks on the site, including Larsa Pippen, Denise Richards, Tyler Posey, Iggy Azalea and more.
OnlyFans is a subscription-based website where people can pay a monthly fee to receive adult content directly from their favorite content producers, ranging from photos to videos and online chats. The site was launched in 2016 and was not made specifically for sharing NSFW content, but because it has very few restrictions on what can be posted, it has become known for the large amount of adult content, including pornography, that content creators have created.

Kyrgios, known for his dramatic antics on court, has seen his fan base grow as one of the stars of Netflix tennis documentaries Breakpointwhich documented his 2022 tennis season and included a look at the early days of his relationship with girlfriend Costeen Hatzi.

In a January 2023 ESPN profile of Kyrgios, Hatzi recounted how the two first met: In late 2021, Hatzi was selling a mirror on Instagram, and Kyrgios reached out while looking for one to buy.
They started dating soon after he showed up at her door to buy a mirror, and Hatzi told the outlet it was love at first sight.
The tennis pro also praised Hatzi’s support, telling reporters at the Citi Open in Washington, DC that “just being at peace” with life helps his game. “You know, I’m lucky enough to be in a really healthy, loving relationship, she’s supportive and we just have fun,” Kyrgios said of his girlfriend.
Kyrgios, however, had a tougher year in tennis. After winning the 2022 Australian Open and reaching the quarterfinals of the US Open, he was forced to withdraw from the 2023 Australian Open the day before the start due to a knee injury. He was operated on in January 2023, and could not play for the whole year.
