Alix Earle isn't dating Fernando Mendoza: All signs now point to an ex of Madison Beer

A lix Earle 's latest social media activity has once again sent fans into detective mode, but the influencer's rumored connection to Las Vegas Raiders rookie quarterback Fernando Mendoza may have already taken a back seat to another unexpected name. Earle has become one of the biggest personalities to emerge from TikTok, building a massive following while turning her personal life and high-profile relationships into a constant source of online attention.

Her dating history has included several athletes. She previously dated baseball player Tyler Almeida during college before beginning a relationship with wide receiver Braxton Berrios in early 2023. The pair eventually moved into a Miami home together in 2025 before splitting later that year. Earle was subsequently linked to Tom Brady after being spotted together around the Super Bowl at the start of 2026 but neither confirmed a romantic relationship. More recently, Earle appeared to fuel speculation involving Mendoza after posting a video from Las Vegas as fans immediately focused on her choice of ABBA 's classic song " Fernando ”. Interpreting the track as a possible reference to the rookie quarterback, that theory, however, now faces competition from another potential connection as latest speculation comes after photographs link her to Zack Bia , Madison Beer 's ex. The two were spotted out with Earle and friends in Beverly Hills. Beer dated Bia for roughly two years. He is a DJ and record executive.

Mendoza still waiting for NFL debut as Raiders prepare for Chiefs clash

The Mendoza rumors emerged at an interesting moment for the quarterback as the Raiders have opened the season 3-0, setting up an important early-season test against the Kansas City Chiefs without needing to turn to him yet. Las Vegas has made an unexpectedly strong start, but the schedule has also prompted questions about how much can be learned from the opening three games as they and the Chiefs enters the matchup unbeaten. Patrick Mahomes will be as tough a test as any else and the rivalry could offer a clearer indication of where the Raiders stand within the AFC West as Las Vegas does not necessarily need to win to demonstrate progress. A competitive performance would be a good reference for their quality, whilst Chiefs and Raiders have also produced close games - offering more intrigue before the teams will meet again in Week 18, potentially with the AFC West on the line. Until then, Mendoza remains waiting for his debut and the chance to throw to Brock Bowers or hand-off to Ashton Jeanty , sitting behind the veteran Kirk Cousins .
