Alix and MLB Viral Breakup

 

Alix Earle is known for being open and authentic with her followers, and she certainly didn’t hold back when it came to her breakup with MLB player Tyler Wade.

The split shook the internet, especially when Alix revealed that her ex-boyfriend never posted about her on social media, a detail that caught everyone’s attention.

True to her savvy marketing skills, Alix Earle strategically shared just enough about the situation to keep her audience engaged, without revealing everything. In a recent TikTok Live, Alix Earle teased that she would "spill the beans" and discuss the details of her breakup in depth on the Call Her Daddy podcast with host Alex Cooper.

Her breakup went so viral that it even made it to ESPN. Stated in a Santa segment, “Santa, the big guy was everywhere. The only human or large elf or otherwise getting more recognition this week than Alix Earle.” 

Then the two hosts went on to say, “Did you hear she broke up with her boyfriend cause he wouldn’t post her on Insta?”

Funny enough, they didn’t bring up the fact her ex-boyfriend is a MLB player or even say his name!
