The German-born performer earns recognition for her leading role in Vixen Media Group’s psychological thriller Pull, her chemistry with Troy Francisco and the streaming career that made her a 2025 winner.
Hope Heaven’s breakout year is showing no sign of cooling off. The German-born performer has received three 2026 XMA Europe nominations spanning acting, an on-screen collaboration and the livestreaming work that helped turn an independent creator into an international fan favorite.
The most significant recognition may be her Best Acting nomination for Pull, Vixen Media Group’s five-part crossover thriller. The project placed Heaven at the center of a story driven by attraction, deception, manipulation and redemption, giving her room to do more than carry a scene—she had to carry a character across a sustained dramatic arc.
That matters because Pull arrives at a useful moment in Heaven’s career. Glamour, travel and direct-to-fan accessibility helped establish her public identity, but a leading dramatic role offers another lane entirely. The nomination suggests that her next chapter may be built as much around performance and storytelling as the creator connection that first grew her audience.
“I’m incredibly honored to receive these three XMA Europe nominations,” Heaven said. “To be recognized for my acting in Pull is especially meaningful because I truly fell in love with the storytelling and emotional journey of the character. Acting challenged me in the best possible way, and it inspired me to keep growing as a performer. Sharing a nomination with Troy Francisco makes it even more special, and being recognized again for my streaming reminds me how grateful I am for the amazing community that has supported me every step of the way.”
Heaven and co-star Troy Francisco are also nominated for Best Sex Scene — Feature for Pull, recognition tied to a pairing that became one of the production’s central relationships. The third nomination, Female Streamer of the Year, returns her to a category she won in 2025 and acknowledges the global livestreams and candid fan interaction that remain central to her brand.
Born and raised in Hamburg, Heaven began as an independent creator before signing an exclusive agreement with Vixen Media Group. Her work has since appeared across the company’s Vixen, Blacked and Tushy brands, while Pull gave her the most visible dramatic showcase of her career to date.
Industry voting is scheduled to continue through August 18 on XBIZ.net. The 2026 XMA Europe Awards will be held September 13 in Amsterdam, closing a week that also includes the XBIZ Amsterdam conference and the inaugural X3 Amsterdam.
That combination—prestige production, direct audience connection and a willingness to build a career across both—helps explain why Heaven’s three nominations feel less like a single-project spike than a snapshot of where her career is headed.
