Lily Phillips, a 24‑year‑old British content creator who became a viral internet figure after claiming to have slept with more than 1,100 men in a 12‑hour period, has publicly shared that she has reconnected with Christianity and undergone baptism, sparking broad online discussion and mixed reactions.
Phillips first drew global attention through a series of provocative challenges and content on platforms like OnlyFans, including a much‑publicized attempt to break a record involving hundreds of partners in a single day.
In late December, Phillips posted a video of her baptism ceremony, which took place at a church and was shared on social media, where it quickly amassed millions of views. In the footage, she is shown wearing a white robe as she is immersed in water, an act she described as symbolic of renewing her faith and seeking a fresh start in 2026.
In statements following the ceremony, Phillips said she had drifted from her Christian upbringing and wanted to “reinstate” her relationship with God after facing personal challenges. She explained that reconnecting with faith has provided her with “strength” and clarity as she moves forward.
Phillips also shared that she grew up in a religious household and had been baptized as a baby, but her engagement with religion waned over time. Her rebaptism, she said, represents a deliberate effort to refocus on spiritual values while navigating life beyond the controversies that made her an internet sensation.
Reactions to the news have been sharply divided. Some supporters praised her decision as a positive personal transformation and an example of redemption, while critics questioned her sincerity and noted that she continues to maintain a public profile around adult content.
Religious commentators observing the story have pointed out that public conversions by high‑profile figures often generate debate and that personal faith journeys vary widely. Despite the controversy, Phillips said her focus is on her spiritual life and emotional wellbeing as she enters the new year.
