Austin Butler is 2 for 2 in the dating rumor department ... TikTok star Haleyybaylee is shutting down gossip she's hooking up with the actor, TMZ has learned.

ICYMI ... chatter started spreading about a possible connection between Austin and Haley -- real name Haley Kalil -- when a TikTok video appeared to catch the two enjoying a meal together this week.

However, a rep for Haley tells TMZ ... despite the online speculation, the woman in the now-viral video is NOT Haley ... it's obvious given the fact Haley has red hair, not brown, which the other woman sports in the footage.

Braxton Berrios has earned himself a decent-sized fanbase over his career in the NFL -- and his girlfriend, Alix Earle, has a pretty sizable following, too!

The Houston Texans wide receiver's been linked to the influencer since 2023, when eagle-eyed fans shared videos of them out together on TikTok ... and they went public with their romance the same year.

We're going to take a look at the personal and professional lives of the social media powerhouse and see how she ended up with the athlete.

Alix was born and raised in New Jersey to a pair of parents who both attended Lynn University in Florida.

The influencer's parents split up at an early age, and her father later married Ashley Dupré -- who had already become a household name about 20 years earlier when she was involved in a prostitution scandal centered around former New York governor Eliot Spitzer.

Alix's mother and her stepmother eventually grew close, and Alix told Elle she was happy to be a member of what she described as a "very modern" family in 2023.

The social media star followed in her parents' footsteps and headed to Florida for college, where she attended the University of Miami and graduated with a marketing degree in 2023.

Alix kicked off her social media career during her freshman year of college, when she began sharing videos on her TikTok account.

Her popularity on the platform received a serious boost in 2022, when she documented her struggle with acne in several videos shared on her account.

She later gained extra exposure for her widely followed "Get ready with me" videos, in which she shows off her outfits and makeup routines.

Alix currently has 7.5 million followers on her TikTok account, as well as 4.5 million on Instagram, and she was included on the Time100 Creators 2025 list, which ranks the most influential digital content creators in the world.

Social media isn't Alix's only focus ... she's embarked on a career as a podcast host over the past few years.

Alix started the "Hot Mess With Alix Earle" podcast in 2023, and she formerly worked with podcasting star Alex Cooper -- although the show was dropped by Cooper's Unwell Network in 2025.

The show exploded in popularity upon its debut, and it briefly beat "The Joe Rogan Experience" on Spotify's podcast chart.

Oh, and she's going to be heading to TV, too, because she's set to compete on the 34th season of ABC's "Dancing With The Stars."

Alix and Braxton were first spotted together back in 2023, when a video showing them meeting a fan at a restaurant in Miami began circulating on TikTok.

It's worth mentioning Braxton isn't the first athlete the influencer has dated in the past, as she was linked to professional baseball player Tyler Wade for a few months in 2022.

She eventually moved on with Berrios, and they made their red carpet debut at the 2023 ESPY Awards ceremony.

Carson Beck's earned lots of fans throughout his college football career ... although we don't think his ex-girlfriend Hanna Cavinder is on that list anymore.

The University of Miami quarterback and the social media star were linked throughout much of 2024 and the early part of 2025, but they ultimately went their separate ways ... and she had some choice words about him in an interview conducted after their split.

We're going to see how the TikTok personality rose to fame ... and why she decided to end things with the athlete.

Hanna's been playing basketball since her high school days, and she continued with the sport when she began attending California State University, Fresno in 2019.

And she wasn't alone when she started playing for the Bulldogs ... her twin sister Haley signed up to play alongside her the same year!

The twins remained with Fresno State until 2022, when they announced their intention to transfer schools, and they ended up at the University of Miami in Florida.

Hanna and her sister stayed with the Hurricanes all the way up to the end of the 2024-2025 season ... Hanna started in all of the team's 29 games.

Hanna's public profile began to rise after she started creating content for TikTok with Haley during the COVID-19 pandemic.

The pair's fame only grew after the NCAA started allowing student athletes to monetize their names, images, and likenesses in 2021, and they signed endorsement deals with companies like Boost Mobile and Under Armour, according to ESPN.

The sisters' popularity continued at Miami, and they ended up on the 2025 Forbes 30 Under 30 Sports list.

Speaking with ESPN, Hanna claimed her her sister's lives had "changed tremendously," and she described their newfound roles as influencers as "the most surreal job."

Hanna and Carson were first linked in July 2024, when she shared a now-deleted photo of him wearing his Georgia Bulldogs uniform on her Instagram account.

The quarterback confirmed he was dating the social media personality in an interview with ESPN the following month.

Carson wasn't camera-shy when he was dating Hanna, showing up in several of her social media posts over the length of their relationship.

The two had their cars stolen in February 2025 -- Beck's Mercedes and Lamborghini and Cavinder's Range Rover were taken as they slept ... two of the vehicles were eventually found, according to ESPN.

The thing is, Hanna and Carson's love story eventually came to an end -- and it wasn't a pretty breakup.

The influencer talked with Kai Trump -- Donald's granddaughter -- in April 2025, and when she was asked about the quarterback's personality, Hanna claimed her ex had "an ego" and said she was often "embarrassed" by his conduct, according to Fox Sports.

Hanna said she was aware of rumors of "cheating" on her ex's part, she didn't know about any infidelity.

She did, however, hint at her ex's identity ... noting the manipulator was "charismatic" and "wealthy" ... and she's now repairing her life after he "burned it to the ground."

TikTok star Natasha Allen has died following a lengthy battle with cancer ... an announcement on her social media accounts confirmed.

Word of the internet star's death broke Friday, when a photo of Natasha, who was known for documenting her battle with stage 4 synovial sarcoma -- an aggressive soft tissue cancer -- was uploaded alongside a tribute.

According to the upload, Natasha died on Friday, and the post honored the TikToker as a "beautiful soul full of love, kindness, and joy."

Julian Brown made a name for himself on social media by claiming to have come up with a process to convert plastic waste into usable fuels, which he's promoted on his Instagram account over the past few years.

However, he became the subject of concern when he shared a video in July 2025, in which he claimed he was "under attack" from unknown sources, after which he vanished from the internet.

We're going to take a look at the background of the internet star ... and see what he had to say prior to his sudden disappearance from social media.

Brown is a self-taught inventor whose videos regarding his usage of microwave pyrolysis have gone viral on platforms like Instagram and TikTok.

The process involves using microwave radiation to heat up and break down raw materials into usable products, and the inventor's been focused on creating forms of gasoline and diesel alternatives from plastics.

He's even built a homemade microwave pyrolysis reactor, which he's featured in several of his Instagram and TikTok posts.

In addition to his work as an inventor, Brown founded a natural products company called Jabroma in March 2025, which he's promoted on social media.

Brown's set off alarms with his 1.7 million Instagram followers in July 2025 after he shared a video in which he claimed he was "certainly under attack."

While he didn't specify who or what had been coming after him, he claimed he'd been experiencing "very, very odd stuff" in recent weeks.

He then asked his fans to keep him in their prayers, as well as to screen-record the video for future reference.

Brown shared another troubling video the month prior, in which he claimed his workshop in Alabama had been circled by a helicopter multiple times.

Many of Brown's fans and followers became concerned for his safety after he shared the video, and some voiced their opinions about his supposed disappearance in the post's comments section.

The inventor stayed quiet on social media for nearly a month before his mother, Nia, reached out to Daily Mail and provided an update on her son's well-being.

While Nia claimed her son was "safe," she wasn't willing to give out any more information about the inventor or his whereabouts.

TikTok influencer Emilie Kiser's husband, Brady, just dodged criminal charges in the tragic drowning of their 3-year-old son, Trigg Kiser.

The child was found lifeless in the family's Arizona pool back in May, and cops recommended a felony child abuse charge against Brady ... but prosecutors declined to pursue any charges.

In a Friday afternoon news dump, Maricopa County Attorney Rachel Mitchell announced Brady will not be charged because "there is no reasonable likelihood of conviction."

The Los Angeles FBI branch declined to comment. TMZ reached out to the U.S. Attorney's Office ... so far, no word back.

Before this cutie pie with blue eyes turned into an American model and social media personality, she was just rockin' her red dress ... and growing up in New Jersey with her younger sister -- until graduating from high school in 2019.

She sure loves Miami -- even grabbing her marketing degree from the U of M. Her "Get Ready With Me" TikTok videos propelled her into the spotlight, but now she's got a plethora of business ventures that bring in the big bucs; ie: her "Hot Mess" podcast.

Need one more clue? Her boyfriend plays football!
