LOS ANGELES—Award-winning performer Aubrey Kate makes her return to Grooby to cut the ribbon on the studio's 30th anniversary with a new hardcore scene opposite Chris Epic for GroobyGirls.com.
“It’s a true honor to be Grooby’s first Model of the Year for their 30th anniversary,” Kate said. “Grooby has always been close to my heart, a company that not only believed in me but knew how to bring out my most sensual, intimate side on camera. This shoot was deeply exciting and so much fun, and I’m already looking forward to the next time we get to play together on set.”
“I told you we had big plans for our 30th Anniversary Year—but I didn't tell you Aubrey Kate would be starting the year for us, for her first time back in a Grooby studio since her VR scenes in 2017,” revealed Grooby owner Steven Grooby. “We were lucky and I'm so excited to bring back this absolute icon, who I see every year and have followed her career from model/performer, multiple award winner, company owner, and now director. She's undoubtedly one of the most recognizable faces and names of the past 12-plus years in trans porn, and she just gets better and better.”
Grooby is celebrating its 30th anniversary in 2026, with special content planned throughout the year ahead.
“Founded in 1996, Grooby is widely recognized as the leading producer of trans erotica, with nearly three decades of experience pioneering inclusive and affirming adult content. The company has built a global reputation for its commitment to diversity, authenticity and ethical production practices—centering trans performers and pushing the industry toward greater representation,” a spokesperson said.
Grooby’s expansive catalog includes over 30 unique websites, multiple movie lines and digital streaming platforms, offering fans a wide range of high-quality content featuring both rising stars and established trans performers.
“As the first company where many of the industry’s most prominent trans performers make their adult debuts, Grooby has long served as a launching pad for a long history of beloved trans performers,” the spokesperson said.
The company is also the host of the annual Transgender Erotica Awards (TEAs), an industry-wide celebration spotlighting trans excellence in adult entertainment.
