It’s over for former Yankees player Tyler Wade and TikTok sensation Alix Earle. Per E! News, the social media star says their split was triggered by his lack of sharing his affection for her on social media. Their breakup comes after three months of dating. She revealed to her fans on the popular dance app, “We haven’t been together for a hot minute,” the 22-year-old influencer said in a post. “I’ve just been hiding it from you guys because I didn’t feel like dealing with it right now. Even stuff I posted of me and my boyfriendโ€”we were not even dating like a week or two ago.”

She added: “We have been fighting for a bit. I just was not happy with the way I was feeling. He wouldn’t post me,” she continued. “We went to a wedding and got all these good photos together and two selfies of him, and he was like, ‘Oh how many pictures should I post?’ and I was thinking, ‘Aw he’s going to post me.’”ย
