What is Maia’s story?
After her college graduation, Maia began dating her boyfriend. She was a few weeks pregnant when she told the news to her then-boyfriend who told her that she should get an abortion. Maia refused to do that, and her boyfriend completely abandoned her and their unborn babies.
During a regular check-up, Maia was diagnosed with preeclampsia. She was 34 weeks pregnant when the doctors discovered she has this life-threatening condition that causes high blood pressure and could lead to organ damage. Maia was alone and afraid for her babies and her own life.
Maia started having contractions soon afterwards, and had heart failure so she was taken to hospital. On 22 March 2021, Maia gave birth to her daughters, Violet and Scout, who had to spend three weeks in the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU) due to their premature birth. Today, the girls are healthy and doing well.
Many moms around the world find Maia’s story inspirational, and they support her decision to give birth to her girls despite the fact that she knew that she would be a single mom. After Maia shared her story on TikTok, they congratulated her on her strength for pulling through all things she experienced. They said that she should be proud to be such a strong individual.

Court case
In June 2022, rumors circulated that Maia was being sued by the twin’s father, who allegedly sought custody. People speculated that he had babies over the weekend because Maia stopped uploading videos of her and the babies traveling, as they did every weekend before. According to sources, the court documents stated that she was in court on 6 June 2022, but the true reason for this is unknown. Many people commented online that these were just rumors and speculations, and that Maia posted some videos knowing that people would speculate.
Maia hasn’t commented on these assumptions, although she stated in one of her videos that the baby’s father pays for their night diapers, so people assumed that he is a part of their lives. However, no reliable information about this alleged court case is available.
How rich is Maia Knight?
Maia began posting videos of her twin daughters when they were around nine months old. People enjoyed watching them grow and the number of Maia’s followers grew with them. Maia has collaborated with numerous brands, and her videos brought her a hefty sum of money. According to sources, as of March 2023, she has a net worth estimated at over $1 million.
