Lily Phillips BAPTIZED For Fresh Start with Faith
In late December 2025, Lily Phillips, the 24-year-old British OnlyFans creator known for her controversial viral stunts—including the widely publicized challenge of sleeping with 1,113 men in 12 hours—shared a deeply personal moment: her rebaptism into the Christian faith. The event, which took place on December 28, marked what she described as a conscious decision to “reinstate” her relationship with God after a period of drifting away from religion.
Phillips, who was originally baptized as a baby and raised in a religious family (with a close relative serving as a vicar), explained in an exclusive interview with US Weekly that recent personal hardships prompted her to turn back to faith. “Quite a big thing happened more in my personal life, where I kind of felt the need to start speaking to God again,” she said. “I hadn’t really practiced faith for a while.” She emphasized that the rebaptism was not about conforming to traditional Christian values—she openly identifies as non-traditional, supporting gay marriage and being pro-choice—but about rebuilding a personal connection with God that had “deviated” amid her high-profile career in adult content.
The rebaptism ceremony was captured in a video Phillips posted on Instagram, showing her in a white robe being fully immersed in a shallow baptismal pool by a minister. Set to the song “God Is” by Kanye West and captioned “A Day To Remember Forever,” the clip quickly went viral, amassing millions of views and sparking widespread discussion as it coincided with the New Year.
Public Reactions: Celebration, Skepticism, and Debate
The announcement divided opinions online and in Christian communities. Supporters, including some high-profile figures like actor and recent convert Russell Brand, celebrated it as a genuine step toward redemption. Many expressed hope that no one is “too far gone” for faith, viewing the moment as inspiring and a reminder of grace.
Critics, however, questioned its sincerity. Some pointed to her continued presence in the adult industry and lingering provocative content on social media, suggesting it might be a publicity stunt rather than true repentance. Christian commentators debated whether the act reflected “fruit of saving faith,” with one noting that former adult stars like Brittni De La Mora and Jenna Jameson had fully left the industry after their conversions.
Phillips has acknowledged the skepticism, stating she understands why some might doubt her as a “good Christian” given her lifestyle. She expressed a desire to connect with other Christian women in the adult industry who may feel judged, and hinted that her career has “taken a back seat” as she prioritizes faith in 2026. “I’m really looking forward to strengthening and growing my relationship with God,” she said, while advocating for more nuanced conversations about multifaceted identities.
A Symbolic Fresh Start
Whether seen as a profound spiritual turning point or a performative moment, Phillips’ rebaptism highlights themes of renewal, grace, and the complexity of faith in the modern world. As she enters the new year, many watch to see how this chapter unfolds—praying for authentic growth while recognizing that journeys of faith are rarely linear or simple.
In Christianity, baptism symbolizes death to the old self and rising to new life. For Lily Phillips, it represents a public declaration of hope for a fresh start, even amid ongoing questions and challenges. Only time will reveal the full story, but the event has undeniably sparked reflection on redemption for many.
