The TikTok star often shares glimpses of how her parents — dad Thomas Earle, mom Alisa Earle and stepmom Ashley Dupré — work together to raise her and her younger siblings.

Thomas and Alisa welcomed Alix and her younger sister Ashtin before splitting when Alix was in second grade. In 2008, Thomas was revealed to be having an affair with Dupré, who famously also had a sex scandal with the former governor of New York, Eliot Spitzer.

Alix shared that while her father’s affair was difficult for her when she was a child, her family has since moved on and remained close. Thomas and Dupré got married in 2013 and have welcomed three children together.

“We definitely have a very modern family,” Alix toldELLEin August 2023. “It’s normal for me to have my dad, my mom and my stepmom all going on the same trips.” She noted that she and Dupré are “super close, and we’ve gotten to such a good point."

“Whatever’s happened in the past, we’ve all gotten past it as a family,” the social media star added.

From starring in TikToks together to their family history, here’s everything to know about Alix Earle’s parents.

When Alix was in elementary school, she came home to find paparazzi at her house after news broke that Dupré and Thomas were having an affair, as she recalled on a September 2023 episode ofCall Her Daddy. The influencer described how her mother quickly ushered her and Ashtin out of the house, and they stayed at their cousin’s home for the next few days.

A year later, her parents told her that they were separating. However, in fourth grade, Alix saw on her iPad that the media were talking about her family — leading her to realize she had been living a “lie.”

“The past two years of my life had been a lie,” she said. “I had been reading articles about what had happened, about the times my dad has taken me to go get ice cream and it’s really because there’s paparazzi outside my house and he’s hiding us from them. I felt like my world crashed down in that moment.”

She added that her mom was “super mature” about it, so they hadn’t spoken about the situation. However, the affair made school difficult for her as she entered middle school and her peers started bullying her — and some parents would even ban their children from spending time with Alix at her house, she said.

Despite the struggles the family faced when Alix was a child, they are now close and often go out to dinner and celebrate holidays together. During her interview onCall Her Daddy, Alix shared how after her parents’ divorce, she felt like she didn’t have a “core” family, so she’s grateful for their closeness now.

“Now that my family is so well blended and they get along so well I get to do all these events in my life where it’s my mom, my dad, my little siblings and my stepmom,” she explained. “It’s a new feeling because it’s a different type of family to me but having my mom around with my dad, it’s just that feeling is the best feeling in the entire world.”

In September 2023, Alixshared a TikTokof her whole family getting together for a night out in New York City, where she posed with all three parents and her three youngest siblings. In the video, Alix shared behind-the-scenes footage of her mom pretending to take a shot and the whole family dancing together.

“Never a dull moment #earlegirls,” she captioned the video.

In addition to Alix and Ashtin, Thomas has three children with Dupré: Izabel Earle, Penelope Earle and Thomas James Earle II.

Alix is close with her younger siblings, and they often make cameos in her TikToks. She also regularly shares content from their family time together, which includes group vacations andoutings to fairs.

However, Alix is still wary of sharing too much about her family online. “I mean, I share a lot,” she toldELLE. “Obviously, conversations with my friends and in relationships, and with my family, all of that’s private.”

“One time I was overwhelmed about something of mine and I called my dad,” she toldELLE. “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.”

As for the advice she received from Dupré? “Life goes on. Not everything is as crazy as it feels in the moment. People get past things.”

Alix and Ashtin pranked Dupré when they were little

During an episode of Alix’s podcast,Hot Mess, the Earle sisters opened up about their dad’s affair with Dupré — and how much they disliked her in the beginning.

“We were little kids, and we didn’t wanna meet anyone. Like, Ididn’t want my dad to ever be with anyoneelse ever,” Alix said, admitting to pulling pranks on Dupré like filling her shoes with toothpaste and serving her a chocolate-covered garlic clove disguised as a chocolate-covered strawberry.

“These are things we laugh about now. Ashley’s like our sister,” the TikTok star added.
