A year after Alix Earle and Tyler Wade broke up, the famous TikToker fully explained what led to their relationship’s demise. On an episode of her “Hot Mess” podcast dated December 2023, Earle said that Wade’s refusal to post pics of her on his socials was only part of the issue. According to Earle, the former Los Angeles Angels player did not handle her newfound fame well. “We started dating, and at the same time I started to gain a following on social media … that just sent him spiraling,” she said during the podcast. “He would literally be so toxic … Everything I did he s*** on.”
She further clarified why Wade not posting her on social media was a point of contention. “The problem was that he would lie straight to my face about this reasoning,” Earle explained.
Despite her misgivings about the relationship, Earle was still spending time with Wade after they had broken up. “I did see my ex-boyfriend yesterday, we had lunch,” she said in a TikTok posted January 2023. “So, we were just catching up.”
Later that year, Earle revealed that she and Wade were still finalizing their split during those meetups to “get closure” with each other. “And my ex did not want to let go of the relationship,” she said on a “Hot Mess” episode in September 2023 (via Us Weekly). That coincided with the start of her relationship with her next boyfriend.
