Social media personalities Logan Paul and Alix Earle have appeared to reconcile, as they were observed interacting at a barbecue hosted by Fanatics CEO Michael Rubin at his Hamptons estate. The gathering took place on Tuesday evening, the night before Rubin's well-known annual White Party.
The event, held at Rubin's $50 million mansion, is a prelude to the highly anticipated White Party, which typically draws around 375 of the world's most prominent celebrities and athletes. This year's White Party was scheduled for July 1, with festivities expected to run from late afternoon into the early hours of the next morning.
Reports suggest Rubin adjusted the date of his event. Initially, speculation indicated the date was moved from July 3 or 4 to avoid overshadowing the wedding of Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce. However, other sources later indicated the July 1 date was chosen to prevent a conflict with a potential UFC event at the White House, which was initially slated for Independence Day.
Paul and Earle's apparent reconciliation follows an incident in February at a Fanatics Super Bowl Party in San Francisco. During an interview for Paul's podcast, he made an awkward remark to Earle, asking if she had won 'Dancing With The Stars.' Earle, who had competed on the show but did not win, responded with visible surprise. Paul later characterized the question as an honest mistake, stating he believed she had won and admitted he owed her an apology.
Among the other notable attendees at the pre-party barbecue were Paul's brother, Jake Paul, and his fiancée, Dutch Olympic speed skater Jutta Leerdam. Leerdam was seen with the couple's golden retriever, Thor. Jake Paul shared a video on Instagram Stories where he and his brother playfully asked Rubin if Thor could attend the main White Party. Rubin indicated he would put the decision to a vote.
Other guests at the Tuesday gathering included model Winnie Harlow and New York Knicks center Karl-Anthony Towns. Singer-songwriter Teyana Taylor was also present. Reports from previous years indicate that figures such as Patriots owner Robert Kraft and former NFL star Tom Brady have attended Rubin's White Party.
Staff were observed preparing the property for Wednesday's main event, with setups including a DJ deck and staging on the roof and rear of the mansion.
