Who is Steven Spielberg’s daughter Mikaela? (2024)

HOLLYWOOD legend Steven Spielberg's adopted daughter has announced her plans to break into the world of adult entertainment - as a performer.

Mikaela Spielberg, 23, says she is reclaiming her body - here's everything we know about the famous film director's daughter's new career move.

Who is Mikaela Spielberg?

Born in February 1996, Mikaela was adopted as a baby by Steven Spielberg and his wife Kate Capshaw.

Mikaela lives in Nashville, Tennesee with her 47-year-old fiancee.

Her parents live in Los Angeles.

In her exclusive interview with The Sun US, Mikaela talks about suffering PTSD from abuse as a child.

She says she is now in a "good place" after suffering emotional issues including anorexia, borderline personality disorder and struggling with alcohol dependency.

Mikaela adds the abuse, which she says traumatised her, wasn't at the hands of her family or anyone "notable".

But now Mikaela is feeling good and ready to become financially independent.

Is Steven Spielberg's daughter a p*rn star?

In an exclusive interview with The Sun, Mikaela revealed how she's started self producing solo p*rn videos.

And she said she would love to become a dancer in a strip club as she launches a new career as an adult entertainer.

Describing herself as a "sexual creature" she told The Sun: "I got really tired of not being able to capitalize on my body and frankly, I got really tired of being told to hate my body.

"And I also just got tired of working day to day in a way that wasn't satisfying my soul.

"I feel like doing this kind of work, I'm able to 'satisfy' other people, but that feels good because it's not in a way that makes me feel violated."

Mikaela said her parents were "intrigued" rather than upset when she broke the news to them via Face Time.

During the interview, Mikaela said she'd also be happy to make fetish videos - although she draws the line at having sex with another person on camera, out of respect for her supportive fiancé Chuck Pankow, 47.

"I think I would be great at fetish work," she said.

Is she on Instagram?

Although little is known about the 23-year-old, she is quite active on Instagram, where she goes by the name vandal princess.

She has roughly 1,900 followers.

Referring to herself as a "plus sized pixie", she also notes that she enjoys the action role-playing video game, The Elder Scrolls V:Skyrim.

She shares selfies with her 1,900 followers as well as snaps of food, arts and crafts she's made, and messages about "honouring my body more".

Posting a topless picture of herself in a provocative pose on February 18, 2020, Mikaela wrote: "Throwback to one of my first and only photo sets. This was the only insta safe one and it’s also my fav. Also I’m super proud of the necklace because it was the first piece of jewelry I bought with my own finances."

How many brothers and sisters does she have?

Mikaela has five siblings, including actress sister Jessica Capshaw, 43, who became Steven's stepdaughter when he married her mother.

Jessica has appeared in several TV shows and movies, most notably as Jamie Stringer in The Practice and as Dr. Arizona Robbins in medical drama Grey’s Anatomy.

Mikaela's other siblings are:

• Theo, 31 - he was adopted by Kate before she married Steven, who also adopted him. Theo is a musician and has also worked for Saturday Night Live and behind the camera on his father's film Munich
• Sasha, 29 - an actress and a musician, who has appeared in many of her father’s films, including Indiana Jones And The Kingdom Of The Crystal Skull, Munich, and The Post
• Sawyer, 27 - Steven and Kate's youngest son who had a brief appearance in The Post
• Destry, 23 - the youngest of the family, Destry is an actress, photographer and former model
• Max, 34 - Steven’s first son with ex-wife Amy, Max designs video games

Mikaela also revealed how she had a privileged childhood where A listers would be in and out of their mansion in Pacific Palisades, a home she describes as a “work of art”.

She would also attend events such as the Oscars with her father - although protective Spielberg always shielded his kids from doing red carpets.

And Mikaela remembers visiting movie sets and sitting in editing rooms with her dad, as the director’s cult classic films were being created.

“I was on the set of Artificial Intelligence at a really young age and I remember the lighting being so beautiful yet eerie," Mikaela said.
