Alix Earle Prefers Older Men, But Admits She’s ‘Gone Too Far’: It’s Like Dating a ‘Grandpa’
Alix Earle recently opened up about her dating life, and the influencer admitted she’s picky about the age of the men she dates.
During the Thursday, May 21, episode of Earle’s Get Real With Me YouTube show, she asked guest Quenlin Blackwell if an ex-boyfriend of hers had been older.
Blackwell, 25, replied that she doesn’t “date guys [her] age,” something she had in common with Earle, also 25.
“I went on a date with a guy who was a year older than me,” the Dancing with the Stars alum said. “I can’t do it again. That’s never happening.”
Earle added that throughout that particular relationship it “didn’t feel like [she] was with a man.” However, she does have her limits when it comes to dating older men, too.
“Sometimes then I’ve gone too far the other end and I’m like, ‘Grandpa!'” Earle continued.
The TikTok star previously dated Miami Dolphins wide receiver Braxton Berrios. Earle and Braxton, 30, began dating in 2023 and stayed together for two years before she tearfully admitted they had gone their separate ways in December 2025.
“Braxton and I are no longer together,” she explained in a TikTok video at the time. “We have been doing long-distance since basically June, and we haven’t gotten to see each other that often. It’s just been really difficult for me.”
However, it wasn’t long before Earle appeared to have moved on with Tom Brady.
The two were spotted vacationing in St. Barts over New Years and they hit the dance floor together in a video obtained by In Touch. The former NFL star, 48, and Earle were later seen dancing together once again at a pre-Super Bowl party in San Francisco on February 7.
But doesn’t appear as though the two were exclusive in their rumored romance because in March, Earle and a few of her friends, along with Cincinnati Bengals quarterback Joe Burrow, left the Vanity Fair Oscars after party together.
Brady also sparked dating rumors with Scooter Braun‘s ex-wife, Yael Cohen, in March, after the two were seen getting cozy at Tony Gonzalez‘s birthday party. However, Braun has seen been linked to Sydney Sweeney.
