Joe Burrow and Alix Earle spotted leaving Oscars after-party together, sending NFL fans into a frenzy

If there’s one thing Joe Burrow is better at than football, it’s accidentally breaking the internet during the NFL off-season. The Cincinnati Bengals quarterback is currently the talk of social media after being spotted leaving a high-profile Vanity Fair Oscars after-party in Los Angeles alongside TikTok royalty Alix Earle.

While the sight of the NFL’s favorite "Golden Boy" and the internet’s most famous "Hot Mess" together sent fans into a frenzy, here is the full context of what actually went down.

Joe Burrow’s Oscars after-party exit with Alix Earle sparks wild dating speculation online

The buzz started when paparazzi caught Burrow leaving the party on the night of March 15, 2026. However, this wasn't exactly a romantic dinner for two. Joe was seen in the front seat of a car, while the backseat was packed with a powerhouse squad including Alix Earle, influencer Stassie Karanikolaou, and pop star Tate McRae.



In the world of celebrity sightings, this was less of a "date" and more of a "very expensive Uber ride." The group had spent the night rubbing elbows with Hollywood’s elite before heading off to the next destination together.



Why did this set the internet on fire? Because Burrow’s personal life is a frequent topic of debate. Just last week, he was trending for a brief interaction with Jessica Alba in Las Vegas, leading to wild (and false) dating theories.


Adding to the drama is Alix Earle’s own headline-grabbing 2026. She has recently been the subject of massive speculation regarding a potential connection with Tom Brady, though Alix has consistently told her millions of followers that she is currently embracing her "single era." Seeing her in a car with another legendary quarterback was, naturally, fuel for the fire.

Despite the TikTok edits and the "Shipping" comments, sources close to the group suggest there’s no secret romance here. Burrow has been famously private about his long-term relationship with Olivia Holzmacher for years, and while he’s been more active on the Hollywood social scene this spring, it seems he’s simply enjoying his time off before training camp begins.

Joe Burrow is currently the undisputed king of the "off-season cameo." Whether he’s at Paris Fashion Week, a UFC fight, or leaving an Oscars party with a group of influencers, he manages to stay the coolest person in the room without saying a word.

For now, Alix and Joe are just two superstars sharing a ride through the Hollywood Hills. But in the world of NFL gossip, that’s more than enough to keep everyone talking until kickoff.
