"Dancing with the Stars" Season 34 is adding yet another big Gen Z name to the cast list: social media influencer Alix Earle.
Earle, who is based in Miami, Florida, blew up on TikTok in 2022. Her account featured popular "Get ready with me" videos and showcased her life as an University of Miami student. She graduated in 2023, and now has her own scholarship providing financial aid to college juniors and seniors pursuing a business degree at the university.
She announced her new 'celebrity' role on the dance competition show May 22 on "Good Morning America," along with her first Wall Street Journal cover.
"I've always been a fan of 'Dancing with the Stars,' I used to watch it when I was so young with my grandma and she'd always say, 'Maybe one day you could be on there,'" Earle said on "GMA."
Alix Earle is a social media influencer with over 7 million TikTok followers.
She went viral on the app the summer of 2022 and posts lifestyle content such as "Get ready with me" and storytime videos and content with her family and boyfriend, Houston Texans wide receiver Braxton Berrios.
Earle has been on the cover of Sports Illustrated Swimsuit and now the Wall Street Journal, was featured in Super Bowl ads for brands like Poppi and hosts her own podcast, "Hot Mess with Alix Earle."
Since her time in the spotlight, she has also been involved in several controversies. Last year, she posted a video apologizing for using racial slurs in resurfaced posts.
Alix Earle is 24 years old.
The beauty influencer was born December 16, 2000 in Monmouth County, New Jersey.
Earle is currently in a relationship with former Miami Dolphin and current Houston Texans wide receiver Braxton Berrios. Berrios also attended the University of Miami.
In an April 7 video, the TikTok sensation revealed that she left her Miami apartment and moved into the home of her Houston Texans wide receiver boyfriend Braxton Berrios, in the city.
Berrios, who previously played for the Miami Dolphins, signed a one-year deal with the Houston Texans in March. In the video, Earle mentioned she'd likely be traveling a lot and chose not to keep her Miami apartment.
Robert Irwin, son of Australian zookeeper and conservationist Steve Irwin, was the first star announced to join the 2025 season of "Dancing with the Stars."
