Who Is Alix Earle's Dad?

Thomas "TJ" Earle, a construction company executive, is Alix Earle's father. While attending Lynn University in Florida, TJ crossed paths with the woman who would become his future wife and the mother of his children, including Alix.

Although TJ is not seen in Alix's videos, his presence is felt through occasional references made by the TikTok star.

Alissa was dating a soccer player at the time, but TJ was determined to win her heart. According to a friend, TJ's "wild" days ended when he met Alissa, and he was instantly infatuated with her.

The couple eventually got married and welcomed two daughters, with Alix being the older and Ashtin the younger. Alissa took on the role of a stay-at-home mom while TJ managed the family's construction business.

TJ is currently the president of the Earle Asphalt Company, a family-owned construction firm that has operated for over 50 years. The company, which specializes in highway civil contracting and construction materials, was founded by Alix's grandfather, Walter R. Earle.

Alix's father is also a former three-term president and current treasurer of the New Jersey Asphalt Pavement Association. He has also previously served on the National Asphalt Pavement Association Board of Directors and Executive Committee from 2002 to 2010.

Alix Earle's Dad Is Now Married to Ashley Dupre

Alix's family history is not without its share of drama. In 2008, the family was thrown into chaos when news broke of TJ's affair with Ashley Dupre. Ashley, a former escort, had been involved in the scandal that led to the resignation of New York Governor Eliot Spitzer from public office.

TJ's affair with Ashley reportedly began with a flirtation at a Jersey Shore eatery, and things quickly escalated from there. The affair reached its peak at the Gramercy Park Hotel, where TJ and Ashley met secretly.

The revelation of the affair put the Earle family in the spotlight of public scrutiny, followed by the breakdown of TJ's marriage to Alissa. Amid the pain and turmoil the affair caused, TJ took full responsibility for his actions and publicly apologized to his wife for his "grave mistake."

In 2011, TJ and Alissa divorced amicably, according to his lawyer. TJ was determined to move on and start a new life with Ashley. The couple tied the knot in a private and intimate ceremony in Paris in October 2013. They welcomed three children, Izabel, Penelope, and Thomas James II.

In addition to being loving parents, TJ and Ashley are also proud pet owners, doting on their furry friends, including a cat and a dog. TJ also appears to be living his best life, pursuing his passion for motorcycle riding.
