Alix Earle’s Blended Family Guide: Breaking Down the Controversy

Alix Earle has a large family — and there’s a lot to unpack.

The influencer went viral in December 2022 for her “Get Ready With Me” TikToks and has since gained millions of followers on the platform. Not to mention, a coveted spot on Dancing With the Stars season 34 in 2025.

However, Alix’s upbringing was embroiled in controversy. During a September 2023 interview on the “Call Her Daddy” podcast, Alix recalled her father, Thomas “TJ” Earle, having a public affair with former call-girl Ashley Earle (née Dupré).

“My dad had an affair with someone who was well-known for her job having sexual relations with high-class people and one of them was even the governor of New York,” Alix said at the time. “She was very well known from that and in turn, my dad’s affair became a very public situation.”

Alix said she knew the exact moment that her dad’s affair made headlines.

“I remember the day very clearly. Paparazzi had shown up at my house and my mom quickly got me and my sister out of the house [and] over to my cousins,” she said. “I didn’t know they were paparazzi.”

Once Alix found out what happened she “felt like my world crashed down in that moment.”

Alisa Earle

Alix’s mom, Alisa, was previously married to TJ. In December 2000, they welcomed Alix and the family grew with daughter Ashtin in April 2003. In 2008, news broke that TJ was cheating on Alisa and the pair divorced sometime while Alix was in 3rd grade.

Alisa has been seen in multiple of Alix’s TikToks, including dancing videos, mother-daughter sleepovers, vacations and nights out.

In the “Call Her Daddy” episode, Alisa gushed over her eldest daughter, “I believe Alix got her craziness, kindness and her energy for having fun form me … and all the other good stuff from her dad.”

TJ Earle

Alix’s dad, TJ, is the Vice President of two New Jersey companies in the construction and soil recycling industries.

After his divorce from Alisa, he married Ashey in 2013. Since then, the couple have welcomed three children together: Izabel, Penelope and Thomas.

Ashley Earle

After marrying TJ, Ashley became Alix’s stepmom and welcomed kids Izabel, Penelope and Thomas. During the same “Call Her Daddy” episode, Alix reflected on how her relationship with Ashley has evolved.

“When my stepmom started to hang around with my dad after he had moved out, we were introduced to her — which was super weird. I was told that I had to be respectful to this woman and we had to be nice to her and I wanted to rip her head off,” Alix said. “It was very weird because I felt like I was a 10-year-old having to be more mature than someone [who was] 20, 30 years older than me.”

They’re now “super close,” Alix told Elle in August 2023.

“One time, I was overwhelmed about something of mine and I called my dad,” she recalled. “He was like, ‘You should really talk to Ashley about this. She has dealt with this before, stuff in the media.’ It’s brought us closer because she’s able to guide me through it.”

Aside from being part of the Earle family, Ashley made headlines in 2008 during Eliot Spitzer’s prostitution scandal, which led to him resign as the governor of New York.

Ashtin Earle

Alisa and TJ also welcomed Alix’s eldest sister during their marriage. Ashtin graduated from Tulane University in 2025 and has since continued her social media career.

Izabel Earle

Izabel is the eldest daughter of TJ and Ashely. She has appeared in a number of Alix’s TikToks. She helps her sister pick out outfits, watches her do her makeup and shows her personality through sassy remarks.

“You guys might see the ‘Get Ready With Me’s,’ but I see behind the scenes,” she said in the “Call Her Daddy” episode while flipping her hair. “And it’s a hot mess!”

Penelope Earle

Penelope is TJ and Ashley’s second child. She occasionally does her makeup alongside Alix in TikTok videos. In a May 2023 social media video, she shared that she enjoys horse-back riding and wants to move to Miami with Alix. Alix gushed at the time, “In terms of personalities, I think I’m probably closest to Penelope.”

Thomas Earle

Thomas is the youngest child of TJ and Ashley. In the “Call Her Daddy” episode, he praised Alix for always playing games with him. “I really love her a lot and I appreciate that she plays dinosaurs with me,” he said.
