Adult Empire has announced the winners of its 2025 awards, highlighted by Hailey Rose as Pornstar of the Year and American MILF as Porn Movie of the Year. It marks the third year of the revived Adult Empire Awards, which honor the best and most popular stars and movies on the award-winning platform within a given year.

Winners expressed their enthusiasm at the news. “I am so, so honored. I really was not expecting that, and it’s an incredible feeling,” Hailey Rose said. “I was literally just chilling on the couch, checking my Twitter, and I gasped out loud . . . it was crazy! I’m truly, genuinely so honored.”

“You don’t know the roller coaster of emotions that I have been experiencing. I’ve cried, I’ve laughed, I’ve screamed. I am just so grateful,” said MILF Performer of the Year recipient Gigi Dior when asked about the moment she heard she was to receive the award.

An Adult Empire rep added, “Highlighting what our customers enjoyed and what stood out to them over the course of a year is what the Adult Empire Awards are all about, and we’re always excited to bring their voices to the forefront. Porn is a shared experience between performer and audience, and we believe it’s that relationship that drives our industry. Celebrating it is our favorite part.”

The award announcement is accompanied by a week-long celebration at Adult Empire, bracketed by the premiere of two major Elegant Angel new releases on Adult Empire VOD. Through Her Lens, the Adult Empire Award Week Premiere Movie, debuted on Thursday, December 4. A second feature, the Adult Empire Award Week Finale, will appear on December 11 to mark the end of the awards celebration.

Also throughout the week, the Adult Empire Blog and Adult Empire Podcast will publish new interviews with select winners, including Hailey Rose, Eva Angelina, Gigi Dior, Serenity Cox, Aubrey Kate, Kayden Kross, Nathan Bronson, and Jennifer White.
