Early Life
Mike Majlak attended Fordham University, but never graduated.
Career
Mike Majlak started his career in September 2010 as a freelance contributor to Patch.com, an American local news and information platform, at Milford, Connecticut. He then served in the social media promotions wing at Nice Guy Promotions from December 2011 to November 2014. He worked as an event photographer between 2012 and 2015, while also serving as a blogger for The Essential Foodie in 2013-14. In 2015, he joined as a marketing specialist at a company called Lovesac, becoming its marketing manager two years later. Since October 2018, he has been serving as the marketing director at Maverick by Logan Paul, for which he moved to Los Angeles, California.
Credited with helping Paul in “maturing”, he joined Paul as the co-host of the Impaulsive podcast in 2018 and quickly became a fan favorite. He continues to co-host the show alongside Paul and YouTube star George Janko. He also uploads on his personal YouTube channel, Mike Majlak Vlogs, on which he started vlogging in late 2017. He recounted his journey as an addict in his memoir, The Fifth Vital, co-written with Riley J. Ford and published in April 2020.
Family Life
Mike Majlak has two sisters named Abby and Jill. He has featured his dogs, Finney Henry and Brannie, in his videos. For his 35th birthday on January 13, 2020, Paul arranged for him to meet former adult film star Lana Rhoades. The two connected immediately and began dating shortly after, and even often flaunted their relationship on social media. Following an on-again-off-again relationship for about a year, they broke up in February 2021. But he became part of a media controversy after she gave birth to a baby boy named Milo. Denying the child is his, he revealed on Impaulsive that she had the child "with a big-time NBA player", which Rhoades subsequently admitted to through a TikTok video.
Controversy
Shortly after Mike Majlak started his whirlwind relationship with Lana Rhoades, he was accused of cheating in February 2020 following a Twitter exchange between Rhoades and Instagram model Ava Louise, who is known for her controversial appearances on Dr. Phil. On his next appearance on Impaulsive, Majlak claimed that he did not consider it cheating because he and Rhoades had not solidified the terms of their relationship yet, but was sorry that she was hurt. He also had a brief falling out with Logan Paul after they disagreed about famous singer Harry Styles appearing on the cover of Vogue wearing a dress, for which he later apologized to Paul.
