Eva Lovia was born Candice Clarke on May 29, 1989, in Wilmington, North Carolina. She spent her early years in South Carolina before moving with her family to upstate New York, where she grew up with two younger sisters. Her mother worked as a lingerie model, notably appearing in Playboy, which influenced Eva’s comfort with sexuality from a young age. Before entering the adult industry, she held jobs as a cashier at Target at age 15 and later worked at Hooters. She also attended college, earning a degree in psychology. Her ethnicity is a mix of Spanish and Japanese descent, contributing to her distinctive appearance. Professionally, she is known as Eva Lovia, a name inspired by her fiery Spanish roots and the concept of love, though she has occasionally been credited as Mia Marx early in her career. Her entry into adult content began in 2010 at age 21, starting as a webcam model after years of bikini and promotional modeling. Encouraged by her sexually open family and personal curiosity, she transitioned to hardcore scenes in 2012, debuting with a lesbian shoot alongside Molly Cavalli for Reality Kings which was also her first sexual experience with a woman. Eva has worked with numerous studios and websites, including Blacked, Vixen, Reality Kings, Digital Playground (where she was a contract star from 2015-2017), BangBros, Muffia, FM Concepts, Nubile Films, Digital Desire, Naughty America, Twistys, Tushy, and Brazzers. Her filmography exceeds 300 titles, with notable movies like Eva’s Adventures, Flesh, True Detective: A XXX Parody, Kill Bill: A XXX Parody, and Bulldogs.
