Alix Earle has had a tumultuous six months in her love life, and it appears she may finally be heading toward something promising. Following an emotional breakup with NFL star Braxton Berrios in December, a highly publicized flirtation with Tom Brady, and months of visible ups and downs, she was recently spotted having dinner with singer Benson Boone. This encounter might carry more weight than previous ones.
Alix Earle's Rockstar Dream Comes True as She Steps Out with Benson Boone
In a YouTube video from April, Earle admitted that dating a rock star was "literally my dream." Weeks later, she went viral lip-syncing one of Benson Boone's unreleased songs while on a yacht. Boone recreated the clip himself and tagged her. Then came the real-life version: this week, Earle and Boone were seen leaving Craig's restaurant in West Hollywood together, with Boone walking her to his truck and opening the passenger door for her. When TMZ asked Boone point-blank if they were dating, he replied, "Uh, no," calling it "just hanging out." However, the timing is hard to dismiss as insignificant. Earle is set to star in Boone's new music video, "The Time of My Life," dropping June 26, and the two have been spending genuine time together off-camera as well.

Earle and Berrios split in December after roughly two years together, and she did not try to hide how difficult it was. She posted a tearful TikTok explaining that the breakup was due to long distance and them being on "different paths," carefully noting that neither party had done anything wrong. The months that followed played out almost entirely in public. There was a late-night crying video where she talked to the camera "like you're my boyfriend," and posts in February about learning that being sad does not mean the breakup was the wrong decision. Then came Tom Brady. Earle rang in the New Year partying with him on a yacht in St. Barths, and the two were spotted together again in Vegas in March at The Wynn. Nothing about that ever turned into anything official. Still, it was the first real sign she was stepping back into the dating pool, and it sparked months of speculation about whether something serious was actually brewing.
That speculation never fully materialized, and by spring, Earle had shifted her focus.
So Where Does That Leave Tom Brady in All This?
Probably exactly where it always was: a fun, high-profile rebound moment that never had real legs, rather than the start of anything lasting. Boone, on the other hand, checks every box Earle said she wanted: young, a musician, and someone she has already built a real connection with through work. Whether or not he ever confirms it, this is the first time since Berrios that Earle looks like she is actually moving forward, not just moving on.
