Alix Earle may be the internet's most famous "Hot Mess," but her timing in the celebrity gossip cycle is expertly coordinated.
While attending the 2026 Vanity Fair Oscars Party on Sunday night, the 25-year-old influencer took a direct swipe at months of dating rumors by declaring herself a free agent.
When asked by Entertainment Tonight about her plans for the evening, Earle leaned into her newly minted single status.
"Honestly, no one. I'm just, like, Maybe I'll get someone's number or something?" she remarked with a shrug. "Maybe I could meet someone."
The comments served as a sharp pivot from the narrative that has dominated her 2026 headlines: a rumored connection with seven-time Super Bowl champion Tom Brady.
The pair had been a fixture of the tabloid circuit since New Year's Eve, with subsequent sightings at a private Super Bowl party in February fueling talk of a 23-year age gap romance.
However, insiders recently clarified that the "vibe" was never serious, describing their bond as a casual "I'll see you when I see you" arrangement.
With Brady recently spotted leaving a birthday bash for Tony Gonzalez with Yael Cohen Braun, Earle's red-carpet declaration seems to confirm that the "Brady-Earle" chapter has officially closed.
A star-studded SUV and the "Burrow" buzz
Despite her claims of wanting to "meet someone," Earle's exit from the Dolby Theatre-adjacent festivities suggests she might have already found a high-profile carpool.
Paparazzi captured Earle leaving the Vanity Fair gala in a crowded SUV alongside Cincinnati Bengals quarterback Joe Burrow, influencer Stassie Karanikolaou, and singer Tate McRae.
While Burrow appeared to shield his face from the cameras while riding shotgun, the group's shared departure immediately set social media ablaze with "shipping" theories.
The sighting is particularly notable given the current flux in Burrow's own personal life.
The "Golden Boy" of the NFL has been famously private about his long-term relationship with Olivia Holzmacher, but his active presence on the Hollywood social scene this spring, including a recently debunked rumor involving Jessica Alba, has fans questioning if he is also navigating a "single era."
For Earle, this is familiar territory within the professional football world. She famously dated Houston Texans wide receiver Braxton Berrios for two years before their highly publicized split in 2025.
