Alix Earle moved on from Tom Brady fast and straight into Benson Boone's arms

Alix Earle has had a wild six months on the dating front, and it looks like she might finally be landing somewhere good. After a tearful breakup from NFL star Braxton Berrios in December, a very public flirtation with Tom Brady, and months of visible ups and downs in between, she was just spotted having dinner with singer Benson Boone, and this one might actually mean something.

Alix Earle's rockstar dream comes true as she steps out with Benson Boone

She said in a YouTube video in April that dating a rock star was "literally my dream," and weeks later she went viral lip-syncing one of Benson Boone's unreleased songs 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 said "Uh, no," calling it "just hanging out." But the timing is hard to read as nothing. 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 real time together off-camera too

Earle and Berrios split in December after roughly two years together, and she didn't try to hide how hard it hit her. She posted a teary TikTok explaining the breakup came down to long distance and the two of them being on "different paths," carefully noting that neither of them 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 doesn't mean the breakup was the wrong call.

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 set off months of speculation about whether something serious was actually brewing there.That speculation never fully landed anywhere, 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's 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's actually moving forward, not just moving on.
