LOS ANGELES, CA (January 29, 2025) – Maitland Ward continues to dominate the adult film industry, securing two major wins at the 2025 XMA Awards for her performance in MILFY’s American MILF. The talented actress took home awards for Best Acting – Lead and Best Sex Scene – Comedy Movie, further solidifying her reputation as a powerhouse performer in both dramatic and comedic roles.
A Fresh Take on the MILF Genre
Directed by acclaimed filmmaker Kayden Kross, American MILF offers a unique, character-driven approach to the MILF genre. The film follows five suburban soccer moms—Maitland Ward, Brandi Love, Christy Canyon, Phoenix Marie, and Serenity Cox—as they form an unexpected bond while navigating the complexities of their personal and sexual lives. The film’s success lies in its blend of humor, authenticity, and exploration of desire, making it a standout in adult cinema.
“I’m incredibly grateful to XBIZ for recognizing American MILF and my work this past year with these awards,” said Ward. “This film was such a fun, wild ride to make, and I’m honored to share these wins with the amazing cast, crew, and the incomparable Kayden Kross. Thank you to MILFY for bringing this project to life, and, of course, to my fans for always supporting me.”
