Mikaela Testa, better known online as MIKA or @mikaelatesta, is an Australian fashion model, social media influencer, and podcast host. Her mix of fashion content, travel adventures, and honest personal stories has helped her build a strong digital presence on Instagram, TikTok, X, YouTube, and OnlyFans.
Childhood and Family
Mikaela was born on March 16, 2000, in Mackay, Queensland, Australia. She is 26 years old of Australian nationality and Caucasian ethnicity.
Although she shares many aspects of her life online, she rarely talks about her parents or siblings.
Dating / Husband / Relationship
In October 2024, Mikaela announced her engagement to bodybuilder Maxwell Krause. The couple first met online in 2022 and eventually met in person during her birthday trip to Japan in March 2024.
Maxwell proposed during that trip, a moment she described humorously, saying her nails were not done—something she called her “worst fear.” Their relationship continues to attract attention from fans who follow their journey closely.
Career
Mikaela’s online career began around 2019, when her emotional reaction to Instagram hiding like counts unexpectedly went viral.
This moment pushed her into the spotlight, earning her rapid growth across platforms. Standing 5’3″ (160 cm), she began modeling outfits ranging from swimwear to street fashion, gaining brand partnerships and a loyal audience.
Her content blends lifestyle, fitness, fashion, and travel. She shares her workout routines, vacation clips, and life updates, keeping her followers engaged through visually appealing and relatable posts. She loves to travel & visit different countries, such as South Africa, Egypt, the Maldives, Bali, and the Netherlands.
Her podcast, Unsaid, launched in 2023 and gained significant traction in 2025, largely due to episodes discussing her past relationship with Atis Paul, as well as online conflicts involving well-known influencers.
She earns through sponsored posts, fashion collaborations, her podcast, and subscription-based content. Her Instagram highlights stylish photos and travel reels, while TikTok remains her most active platform.
