I met my husband while working as a stripper – I had a boyfriend but he tipped me thousands and swept me off my feet
FROM the pole to the playground, a former exotic dancer has revealed how she was spoiled and swept off her feet by her husband.
What started as a series of good tips turned into a nontraditional romance that produced two children and a loving marriage.
Stay-at-home mom Dallas Miranda Klein, 27, met her husband, Kyle, 32, in a very intimate and unconventional way — while sexy dancing at a strip club.
The Texas residents are now parents to two children, a three-year-old son named Kyle Jr. and a one-year-old son named Ignacio.
NOT LIKE THE OTHER GUYS
Before meeting rich and successful avionics professional Kyle, Dallas was used to men behaving badly at strip clubs, where she started working when she was a legal teen.
“When people come into the strip club, they get drunk,” she told the U.S. Sun.
“It doesn’t matter if they’re a doctor, a lawyer, a Mormon, or a priest. They show the worst sides of themselves.
“I remember the first day I started dancing. This man goes, ‘I can suck my own d**k,’ and I was like, ‘Good for you.'”
At the age of 22, the love of her life stepped into the establishment and changed her life — and he wasn’t on his best behavior, either.
“My husband just came in one day with his friends and he was really drunk,” she said.
“I actually kicked him out of my VIP because I was like, ‘You’re too drunk.’ I thought he was gonna throw up.”
A month later, a bartender got her attention to tell her he returned.
Dallas said that her then 27-year-old future spouse told her he couldn’t stop thinking about her and had to come back.
“He just kept coming in a lot and gave me a lot of money,” she recalled.
“Probably $1,000 a day just to sit with me in my VIP rooms. I danced somewhat, but we talked a lot.”
It wasn’t terribly unusual to get a lot of attention from a customer.
“Guys always want to date a stripper. They always wish they could be with the stripper. You’re their fantasy girl,” she said.
CHARMED AT THE CLUB
At the time, Dallas had been working there for four years and even had a long-term boyfriend of three years.
“Whenever [Kyle] went in there, he had no filter, but even with him having no filter, he was still really respectful. I felt like no one else was really as respectful as him,” Dallas said.
“I was like, ‘Why the hell are you even here? You’re too nice to be in here.’ But it worked out.”
From the moment they met, Dallas gave off a self-assured and confident manner that captivated Kyle.
Me and my husband just believe we’re soulmates and that’s just the way it’s been.

She had just gotten off stage and walked up to him with her top in hand and asked him if he wanted a dance.
“Even now I dress very sexy still and I still wear my heels. I just like looking good because this is what I like to do. It makes me happy and makes me feel good,” she admitted.
“He’s a little more of a quiet person. He loves how outgoing I am.”
GIRL’S GOTTA BE SPOILED
It may not have been love at first sight on her part, but she knew exactly what she wanted in a partner.
Dallas was the one who took the initiative and asked him if he wanted to take her on a “serious date.”
“On our first date, I literally asked him, ‘How many kids do you want?’ I want a big family, and I’m not here to date just anybody. I still had a boyfriend,” she divulged.
From the beginning of their relationship, the mom of two said that he always spoiled her, paid for everything, and always bought her “really good gifts.”
Although he still buys her luxury items once a week, their first date was anything but.
Dallas revealed that one of her favorite places to dine is at The Cheesecake Factory because “it’s always connected to the mall” and simultaneously satiates her shopping habit.
“We went there and now we still go there and we always get drinks and then he takes me shopping and that’s my thing,” she said.
PLANNING A LIFE TOGETHER
By their first date, Dallas admitted that she could see a future with Kyle, but it wasn’t until after their third date when she met his family that she cut officially off her ex.
As a Mexican, she was worried that his parents were going to be “white, stiff, boring people.”
“He kept telling me, ‘My family’s going to love you,’ and I thought that was crazy because my husband’s a quiet, stoic man,” she explained.
Kyle’s father makes tequila and regularly hosts tequila parties at their family’s house, so he took her to one on their third date because it was her choice of liquor.
“I met his family and I thought, ‘This is a family I can see myself with. These are my people,'” Dallas said.
After she became Kyle’s first and only girlfriend, he stopped going to the club because he no longer needed to try extra hard to get her attention.
I said, ‘I’m not going to move unless I can be a stay-at-home mom, and I want to get married.’

He told her the reason he never dated anyone before Dallas was because “no one was ever interesting enough.”
“Me and my husband just believe we’re soulmates and that’s just the way it’s been,” she said.
POP THE QUESTION
Six months into dating, Kyle got a work promotion, which would cause him to relocate to Texas, but Dallas had an ultimatum.
“I said, ‘I’m not going to move unless I can be a stay-at-home mom, and I want to get married,'” she added.
In February 2020, the duo settled in Texas, and in December of that same year, she gave birth to their first son.
They were officially married in 2021.
IN HER PAST
Though she’s no longer stripping, it’s not a secret.
“My little brother’s 15, and he gets so embarrassed whenever I pick him up from school,” she said.
Many of his friends have pointed out how hot his older sister is, and she doesn’t hide her former life as a stripper.
“I never got any backlash. Both my parents knew that I dance. Both my parents accepted me the way I was,” she said.
Not everyone was as accepting of her past and online trolls made their disapproval known on her blossoming TikTok account with over 150,000 followers.
People think that strippers are people who have no families, but both my parents passed away recently.

Critics have said that she “doesn’t deserve” her affluent and comfortable lifestyle, but she disagrees.
“I think a lot of people don’t understand that a lot of servers are normal people,” she said.
“People think that strippers are people who have no families, but both my parents passed away recently.
Her husband helps raise her little brother now and takes care of her special needs sister with cerebral palsy and epilepsy.
“That speaks to his character he stepped up right away and was like, ‘This is our family,'” she said.
If it came down to it, Dallas would happily go back to stripping because she loved the job but now loves being a mom more.
“If I needed to I would, the only reason why I haven’t gone back in is just because I don’t need the money. I feel like my time is better spent at home, which is why I quit,” she said.
“Kyle didn’t even want me to stop [stripping]. He was like, ‘It’s your choice.'”
Dallas admitted that she feels having kids has made their relationship stronger.
He really wanted to be a dad and have a wife. I wanted to be a mom and a wife. I just hadn’t found that person either, but we found each other.

“Family is so fun, but whenever it’s just me and him, we still talk and laugh a lot,” she said.
To keep the romance alive, Kyle brings her flowers every single week, and they regularly revisit their first date location.
One of Dallas’ favorite qualities about him is his dedication to his family and his active involvement.
“When he comes in the house, he’s straight into dad mode,” she said.
The proud parent added that he puts the kids to bed at night, even on the weekends, and also takes them out of the house whenever she needs alone time.
“He really wanted to be a dad and have a wife. I wanted to be a mom and a wife. I just hadn’t found that person either, but we found each other,” she said.
