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.
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.
