AJ Applegate is our June 2023 All Star! “I was born in Long Island, New York, and grew up in a small town in Connecticut,” shares the model, adult star, fitness influencer, mother, and entrepreneur. “I’ve always been a very outgoing and bubbly person. I was a dancer and cheerleader until I was about 20 years old. I’m very competitive, and that’s always what drove me to never give up on what I wanted for [myself].” Now, AJ is based in Florida, where she’s fully immersed in creating content, modeling, mothering her three children, and working out. “Modeling is my number one passion. It’s always allowed me to be creative and free,” she shares. “My other passion is fitness. It makes me feel so confident and accomplished! I started my workout programs to help others feel good and reach their fitness goals.” AJ first discovered Playboy many years ago. “I remember seeing these women and being so fascinated by them. They were able to be free and look glamorous at the same time,” shares AJ. “When I was 19, I went to a Playboy Casting Call in New York City. Unfortunately, I didn’t get a callback but I didn’t give up. Now I’m here! It’s so crazy how life works!” We’re excited to showcase AJ as our June 2023 All Star, which she shot in Miami, Florida, with the photographer Sebby Raw. “Playboy isn’t just a brand, it’s a trademark— it’s always represented women expressing themselves in a positive light,” begins AJ, “It’s such a good feeling to come up with creative ideas and be able to execute them! I feel so blessed that I’m able to live out my dreams every single day!” Stay tuned for June 2023 All Star AJ Applegate features on Playboy Plus!
