Dating & Relationship Status
Mia Khalifa has been discreet about her romantic relationships in recent years. Past public records and social media posts suggest she has had relationships, but she has not disclosed current details about dating or partnership status. Rumors and public interest often surround her personal life, but Khalifa maintains a degree of privacy, focusing more on her business ventures and activism.
She came to widespread attention after the release of a scene from Bang Bros in which she wears a hijab during a threesome with Julianna Vega and Sean Lawless. The scene brought Khalifa instant popularity, as well as criticism from writers and religious figures, and led to her parents publicly disowning her. Alex Hawkins, vice president of marketing for xHamster, said, "The outrage it caused in the Arab world ended up being a bit of a 'Streisand effect'. Suddenly, everyone was searching for her. The effort to censor her only made her more ubiquitous." With more than 1.5 million views, the 22-year-old Khalifa became the most searched-for performer on the adult video sharing website Pornhub.
Khalifa married her high school boyfriend in February 2011. They separated in 2014 and divorced in 2016. In 2019, she married Swedish professional chef Robert Sandberg; they separated in 2020. From 2021 to 2022, she was in a relationship with Puerto Rican rapper and singer Jhayco.
She has stated that her parents stopped speaking to her because of her adult film career. Some Arab news outlets published a statement by Khalifa's family in 2015 condemning her involvement in pornography.
In 2015, Khalifa stated that she was no longer a practicing Catholic. She has a tattoo of the opening line of the National Anthem of Lebanon in Arabic and a tattoo of the Lebanese Forces Cross, which she said was to "show solidarity with [her] father's political views" following a 2012 bombing. She told Newsweek that critics have claimed that her tattoos were disgracing Lebanon.

Net Worth
Mia Khalifa maintains a robust social media presence, especially on platforms like Instagram and Twitter, where she interacts with millions of followers. She uses her platforms for advocacy, to promote her business ventures, and to engage with fans. Her online influence remains significant, making her one of the most recognized former adult performers outside of the industry.
In January 2015, Khalifa signed a long-term contract with Bang Bros' parent company, WGCZ Holding, who also own the largest free porn site XVideos. The contract required her to perform in multiple films each month. However, two weeks later, Khalifa had a change of heart and resigned. The negative attention she received from her global attention prompted her to leave the industry: "It was an eye-opener for me. I don't want any of this, whether it's positive or negative—but all of it was negative. I didn't think too much into it about how my friends and family and relationships were suffering." WGCZ Holding own a web page with a domain name using her stage name. Khalifa said it does not pay her for rights, even though it is written in her first-person voice.
In January 2017, xHamster reported that Khalifa was the most-searched-for adult actress of 2016. In 2018, three years after leaving the industry, she was still the second-highest-ranked person on Pornhub. In August 2019, Khalifa stated that she made $12,000 working in porn by making an estimated $1,000 per scene – standard contractor compensation from production studios in the industry, according to Alec Helmy, president and publisher of adult entertainment industry news site XBIZ – and that she did not receive residuals from BangBros or from Pornhub and other free sites where BangBros uploaded the videos. While PornHub has not stated how much revenue Khalifa's videos had generated for the site, according to a 2019 estimate by Social Blade CEO Jason Urgo based on YouTube-like advertising revenue per view, she could have made over $500,000 had she been a PornHub partner.
Education
Mia Khalifa pursued higher education in the United States, graduating with a Bachelor of Arts in History from the University of Texas at El Paso. Her academic background contrasts with the public image she developed during her adult film career, highlighting a multifaceted personal narrative.
She attended a French-language private school in Beirut, where she also learned to speak English. Khalifa's family left their home in the wake of the South Lebanon conflict, moving to the United States in 2001.
After moving to the United States, her family lived in Montgomery County, Maryland, where she played lacrosse in high school. She has said she was bullied at school for being "the darkest and weirdest girl there", which intensified after the September 11 attacks.
She attended Massanutten Military Academy in Woodstock, Virginia, and later graduated from the University of Texas at El Paso with a Bachelor of Arts in history. She supported herself there by working as a bartender, model, and "briefcase girl" on a local Deal or No Deal–esque Spanish game show.
