Kayden Kross (born September 15, 1985) is an American pornographic actress and lobbyist for the adult entertainment industry.[2] Kross has also modeled under the alias of Jenna Nikol.

Biography

Kross was born and raised in Sacramento, California. She has described herself in high school as "the book nerd".[3] She began stripping at the age of eighteen at Rick's Showgirls in Rancho Cordova, California, to earn extra money to purchase a pony.[4] She was later contacted by an agent and started modeling in adult magazines.[5]

Kross was a senior at California State University, Sacramento, when she signed an exclusive performing contract with Vivid Video in November 2006.[5] Her movies with Vivid included Kayden's First Time, Hard Time, and Be Here Now. Unhappy with the company, she became a free agent one year later when she did not renew her contract.[3] After one month of being a free agent, she signed an exclusive contract with Adam & Eve.[5]

Kross has appeared in several episodes of The Block, a reality snowboarding show that aired on G4TV, in which the Vivid Girls went to The Block hotel for a photo shoot. She also appeared on the Gene Simmons' reality show, Family Jewels.[6] She was named Penthouse Pet of the Month for September 2008.[7]

Kross' official web site, ClubKayden.com, launched on September 2, 2008. Alongside a blog she hosts at UnKrossed.com, Kross writes regular updates and opinion columns for MikeSouth.com, an adult industry gossip blog, among other sites.[8]

In October 2008, Kross was charged with grand theft and violations of the California Civil Code involving contracts for purchases of home equity, allegedly conning a disabled veteran and his family.[9][10] In July 2009, the grand-theft charge was dismissed and the real-estate-fraud charge was reduced to a misdemeanor; Kross pleaded no contest to the resulting charges and was sentenced to one day in custody and three years of probation.[11] She blamed her involvement in the situation on her naivete and being scammed by the broker and mortgage lender.[12]

Kross starred in the 2010 AVN Best Feature The 8th Day and portrayed the role of Elin Nordegren in Adam and Eve Pictures film Tyler's Wood.[13]

Kross became exclusive to Digital Playground under a multi-year contract on January 1, 2010. Her first movie with the company, The Smiths, topped sales charts immediately and continues to be a best seller. She was given the lead in their big budget feature, Body Heat, in her third month in contract. She won two Best Actress Awards for the role.[14]

Kross hosted the 2010 AVN Awards show, along with porn actress Kirsten Price and comedian Dave Attell.[15] She was Penthouse magazine's cover girl for September 2008 and 2010.[16] She was named in multiple award titles in 2010 including Pichunter Babe Of The Month for September 2010 and TLA Raw Best Body Overall 2010,.[17][18]

Kross writes columns regularly for magazines such as Complex magazine, Xbiz magazine, and a blogs for xcritic.com.[19][20]

In 2011, she was named by CNBC as one of the 12 most popular stars in porn.[21] CNBC noted her consecutive nominations by AVN's for performer of the year.
