Alisa Earle is best known as the mother of social media personality Alix Earle, but she has increasingly attracted attention in her own right. After years of keeping a relatively private life, she became more familiar to audiences through family appearances and Netflix’s reality series Earle Meets World. Her story centres on raising two daughters, supporting charitable causes and navigating the public attention that comes with having a famous child. More recently, she has also shared a personal health journey with viewers.
Early Life and Education
Alisa has kept details of her childhood, birthplace and wider family background largely out of the public eye. One documented part of her history is her education at Lynn University in Boca Raton, Florida. Information published on her personal blog states that she graduated in 1995 with a Bachelor of Science degree in Fashion Marketing.
During her university years, she also developed an interest in charitable work. Rather than building a public career in fashion, she chose to focus on raising a family after graduation. Her educational background nevertheless provides an interesting connection to her daughter Alix, who later studied marketing at the University of Miami.
Family Life and Marriage to TJ Earle
Alisa married Thomas “TJ” Earle, and the couple had two daughters, Alix and Ashtin. Their family lived in New Jersey, where the girls spent much of their childhood. The marriage ended in divorce in 2013, following a period of considerable public attention surrounding TJ’s relationship with Ashley Dupré, whom he later married.
After the separation, Alisa focused on raising her daughters. Alix has spoken publicly about growing up in a household with her mother and sister, describing the close relationship they developed. Despite the difficulties surrounding the family’s separation, the wider Earle family has since built a blended arrangement that includes both parents and their respective partners.
Charity Work and Personal Interests
Alongside family responsibilities, Alisa has been associated with the C.H.A.S.E. for Life Foundation, an organisation focused on promoting lifesaving skills and safety education. Her personal account of this involvement highlights subjects such as CPR, choking prevention and drowning awareness. This work offers a clearer picture of her interests beyond her connection to social media fame.
Alisa has generally preferred a quieter public profile than her daughter. However, she has appeared in family photographs, social media content and public events as interest in Alix’s life has grown.
Earle Meets World and Recent Life
In 2026, Alisa became part of the cast of Earle Meets World, Netflix’s reality series following Alix and their wider blended family. The programme gives viewers a closer look at family relationships and introduces Alisa alongside her partner, Todd Galski.
The series also addressed Alisa’s breast cancer diagnosis, which became public in 2025. By allowing parts of that experience to be shown, she helped bring a difficult family chapter into the programme. Her daughters also discussed genetic testing after learning about their mother’s BRCA2 status.
Alisa Earle remains best known as Alix and Ashtin’s mother, but her television appearances and charitable interests have given audiences a broader understanding of her life. She continues to maintain a public presence while keeping many personal details private.
