Imagine a house in Los Angeles filled with nine influencers from OnlyFans with cameras capturing it all. Welcome to season 1 of Tubi’s House of Heat. As you can imagine, it was filled with drama and sexiness. The runaway stars of the show are couple Sumner and Koaty Blayne, who film some seriously hot content for the world to see. In House of Heat, we not only got a good look at their butts and bulges, but we got to see the ups and downs of having a relationship while in the adult industry. Physically and emotionally, Sumner and Koaty bared it all for us. We sat down with them to talk about their relationship, their career, and their debut on reality TV.
 
 
What about the other first attracted you to each other? What now attracts you the most about the other?
 
Sumner: For me, it was Koaty’s sense of humor and the way he lit up every room he walked into. His laugh was infectious, and his confidence really drew me in. Plus, his smile is something I’ve always looked for in a partner. Now, what attracts me most is how he supports me as a partner. He helps me grow and challenges me while giving me a safe space to make mistakes. He’s got my back 100% of the time, and I couldn’t ask for more.
 
Koaty: I was initially attracted to Sumner because of his handsome ruggedness and beautiful smile.  I entered a room that already had over 20 people in it and he was the only person that caught my eye.  Once I got to know him, his kindness and sincerity as a person are some of his most attractive qualities.  He knows who he is and who he wants to be, and that quality in a person is not only attractive, but a rarity to have.  Honestly, my attraction to him is limitless and it grows by the day.
 
  
What made you say yes to doing House of Heat?
 
We wanted to expand our brand and saw this as a great opportunity to do so. We aimed to normalize adult content creators and showcase the hard work and dedication involved in our industry. It was also a chance for us to learn from other creators and interact with female creators, which was a new experience for us.
 
What did you want fans to know most about you both from watching the show?
 
Koaty and Sumner: We wanted people to see that we have a genuine, authentic relationship with its ups and downs. We’re a real couple who loves and supports each other, and we just happen to create adult content. We go through struggles and doubts, but we also share a lot of love and laughter. 
 
How did your relationship grow from doing the show? 
 
Sumner: Being in that environment pushed us to confront things head-on and lean on each other more than ever. The experience tested us, but we came out stronger and with a deeper understanding of each other. 
 
 
Filming for OnlyFans and Sumner for studio porn, how do you handle jealousy from a couple’s point of view? 
 
Koaty: We’ve overcome a lot of jealousy because of our strong communication and the five years we’ve spent together. We regularly check in with each other and prioritize quality time off-camera. We trust each other’s intentions, so if something does affect us negatively, we talk it out, adjust, and move forward.
 
What are the biggest misconceptions people have about you both?
  
Sumner: Sometimes people think we’re always on the go and living a glamorous life, but we have our quiet moments too. I’ve realized I’m a big introvert who needs time at home to recharge. We love staying in, ordering greasy food, and binge-watching our favorite shows.
  
Koaty: Some people assume we’re going to be mean or standoffish when they meet us, but they’re surprised to find out how goofy and down-to-earth we are. 
 
What do you love most about filming OnlyFans content?
  
Koaty: It’s a fun way to experiment and try new things. I love making my own schedule and being able to do it together with Sumner. 
 
Sumner: I love being in control of what we create and connecting with our fans on a more personal level.
 
How do you take time for yourselves as a couple away from social media?
 
Sumner: We make a point to disconnect from social media and focus on each other. We enjoy traveling, having quiet nights at home, and just relaxing and talking the night away. 
 
How have you both changed the most from becoming influencers? 
 
Sumner: I’ve become more confident and empowered by putting myself out there online. I’ve learned not to take myself too seriously and to let go of hateful comments more easily. The power of connection has been a huge learning experience for me. 
 
Koaty: Being an influencer has changed me in many ways.  I've definitely become better at listening to others and being able to view situations from other's points of view.  By meeting other people and becoming more visible, it has opened me up to experiences I never would have experienced before and to people who I never would have had the opportunity to understand.  I also have grown a thicker skin since becoming an influencer.  Sometimes public scrutiny at this level can be detrimental to one's mental health, but over time I have been able to separate personal reality from the influencing world.
 
  
How do you keep the spark alive in the bedroom?
 
Sumner and Koaty: Surprise quickies, watching porn together, tying each other up, role reversal, and public play keep the spark alive for us. 
 
How are you the most different than what we see on camera and social media? 
 
Koaty: We’re a lot more laid back than people might think. Sometimes I just want to relax and stay in bed all weekend watching TV. 
 
Sumner: We also have a wonderful relationship with our families and love spending time with our nieces and nephews.
 
You both are in fantastic shape, what is your weekly workout routine? 
 
Sumner and Koaty: We work out five days a week, typically lifting weights for 1 to 1.5 hours and doing 30 minutes of cardio each session. Consistency and maintaining a routine are key. 
 
What can we expect from you next, more reality TV?
 
Koaty and Sumner: Possibly! We’re hoping for a season 2 of *House of Heat* and would love to be part of it. We’re also working on getting our molds produced and licensed, starting with a DP version for stores and online. Sumner continues to work with major studios in the gay porn industry, and we’re beginning to look at wedding venues! 
 
What is your message to your fans?
 
Koaty and Sumner: We want to thank our fans for their incredible support and love. We’re grateful for your continued encouragement and for being a part of our journey. Your support means the world to us!
