Kaitlyn Michelle Siragusa (born December 2, 1993), better known as Amouranth /ˈæmərænθ/, is an American social media personality, streamer, and OnlyFans creator.[2][3] Siragusa is also known for her ASMR Twitch livestreams.[4][5][6]

Early life

Siragusa was born in Houston, Texas, on 2 December 1993. She was an only child and developed a strong connection to animals. As a child, Siragusa enjoyed video games and anime, which later inspired her to start costume designing and cosplaying. After being taught sewing by her aunt, she received an award at her first cosplay convention in Houston, dressing as Princess Zelda from the video game franchise of the same name.[7]

Career

In 2010, Siragusa took Fashion Design & Theatrical Costume Design in college and was recommended by her professor to the Houston Grand Opera and Houston Ballet as a costume designer.[7] In 2015, she started her own character company for children's entertainment.[citation needed]

In 2016, she was asked by streaming company Twitch to join as a content creator and livestream making costumes. She accepted and quickly gained a large following for her dancing, ASMR and hot tub streaming content. As of October 16, 2022, Siragusa has 5.89 million followers on Twitch.[8]

Siragusa is one of the biggest content creators on adult website OnlyFans, earning over $1.5 million every month.[9] On October 8, 2021, Siragusa was banned from Twitch for the fifth time, as well as Instagram and TikTok.[10] In November 2021, Siragusa announced on her Twitter that she had bought a gas station, which she is renting out to a Circle K.[11]

In January 2022, she announced that she had also bought an inflatable pool toy company.[12] In April 2022, she announced that she was quitting her OnlyFans and associated online activities to focus on Twitch by the end of June of that year.[13] In July 2022, she announced she was starting a company matching personal assistants with content creators.[14]

Personal life

Siragusa owns two horses and two dogs. An animal lover, Siragusa aims to open an animal sanctuary to keep unwanted or mistreated dogs as well as ex-racehorses.[7][15]

On October 15, 2022, Siragusa revealed on-stream that she had been married for several years, after her stream was interrupted by her alleged husband, who could be heard verbally abusing her live on stream.[16][17][18] Siragusa alleged that her husband controls her finances, coerced her to stream more than she was willing to, and threatened to kill her dogs if she did not obey his demands.[19]
