Kayden Kross (born September 15, 1985) is an American pornographic actress. Kross has also modeled under the alias of Jenna Nikol.

Kross was born and raised in Sacramento, California. She has described herself in high school as "the book nerd". She began stripping at the age of eighteen at Rick's Showgirls in Rancho Cordova, California to earn extra money to purchase a pony that was going to be slaughtered. She was later contacted by an agent and started modeling in adult magazines.

Kross was a senior at California State University, Sacramento when she signed an exclusive performing contract with Vivid Video in November 2006. Her movies with Vivid included Kayden's First Time, Hard Time and Be Here Now. Unhappy with the company, she became a free-agent one year later when she did not renew her contract. After one month of being a free-agent, she signed an exclusive contract with Adam & Eve.

Kross has appeared in several episodes of The Block, a reality snowboarding show that aired on G4TV, in which the Vivid Girls went to The Block hotel for a photo shoot. She also appeared on the Gene Simmons reality show, Family Jewels.

Kross writes regular updates and opinion columns for MikeSouth.com, an adult industry gossip blog. Kross' official web site, ClubKayden.com, launched on September 2, 2008. She was named Penthouse Pet of the Month for September 2008.

In September 2008, Kross was charged with grand theft and violations of the California Civil Code involving contracts for purchases of home equity.

Kayden Kross can also be found writing a frequent blog for Penthouse Magazine in which she frequently writes from the road and on set.
