Romance speculation surrounding TikTok star Alix Earle and Formula 1 champion Lando Norris has reached a new level after the pair were reportedly spotted spending hours together at an exclusive private members’ club in London. While neither has confirmed a relationship, a string of public appearances over the past month has fueled intense discussion among fans across the UK and the United States.

The latest sighting follows previous encounters in France during the Monaco Grand Prix period, adding to growing speculation that the influencer and the McLaren driver may be more than just acquaintances. However, despite widespread tabloid coverage and viral social media discussions, there has been no official confirmation from either side.

Here’s everything known so far about the reported London meeting, the earlier sightings that sparked speculation, and the dating histories that have fans watching closely.

The latest round of speculation centers around an evening at The Twenty Two, a trendy private members’ club in London, on the night of Wednesday, July 8, into the early hours of Thursday, July 9, 2026.

According to eyewitness reports, the pair spent several hours inside the club and were described by onlookers as “inseparable” while talking extensively, including conversations about Norris’s Formula 1 career.

One of the biggest talking points from the evening came after reports claimed the venue, which was scheduled to close at 3 a.m., remained open for an additional hour after Norris allegedly asked staff to extend operations so he could continue spending time with Earle. The two reportedly stayed until around 4:15 a.m., while other celebrities, including Mick Jagger and Ronnie Wood, had already departed at approximately 2:30 a.m. Reports also suggested security was not pleased with the late extension.

The departures also attracted attention. Norris, dressed in a black outfit with a white ball cap and white sneakers, was photographed sprinting toward a waiting vehicle. Earle exited separately alongside her friend Anastasia Karanikolaou (StassieBaby), wearing a golden-hued ruched dress paired with strappy gold heels. Notably, the pair did not leave together publicly.

Photos and footage from the evening were shared exclusively by gossip account DeuxMoi before being picked up by multiple outlets, including Page Six, TMZ, Just Jared, and the Daily Mail.

Earlier Monaco and Cannes appearances had already fueled speculation

The London outing was not the first time the pair had been seen together in 2026.

During the Monaco Grand Prix period in June 2026, Earle attended the race weekend before she and Norris were photographed together at La Guérite restaurant in Cannes on or around June 8. They also reportedly attended an Alo yacht gathering alongside Stassie during the event.

TMZ additionally captured video showing Earle dancing near Norris while they were in France.

The timing of those appearances attracted even more attention because Norris had recently completed another race weekend. The McLaren driver, who is the 2026 Formula 1 World Champion, most recently finished fourth at the British Grand Prix at Silverstone.

Recent dating history keeps fans guessing

Alix Earle, now 25, is one of social media’s biggest influencers. Along with her TikTok success, she is the founder of Reale Actives, a skincare and beauty brand, and is also an SI Swimsuit model.

Her most recent public relationship ended in December 2025, when she split from NFL player Braxton Berrios after more than two years together. She also sparked dating rumors involving Tom Brady between late 2025 and early 2026 after they were seen together during a St. Barts yacht party on New Year’s Eve and later at a Super Bowl party. Insiders described it as a “fun” but “not-that-serious” fling, while Earle has publicly joked about preferring older men.

Norris, 26, has also experienced a high-profile dating life. Before the recent rumors, he was in an on-and-off relationship with Portuguese model and actress Margarida “Magui” Corceiro, with their relationship publicly spanning from around 2023 through breaks and reconciliations into early 2026. Reports indicated the pair split around February 2026, with Norris referring to himself as a “single man” during pre-season interviews. Although rumors suggested possible reconciliation attempts, the relationship appeared to be over by mid-2026. He was also previously linked to model Luisinha Oliveira.

Fan reactions continue as neither star addresses the rumors

Social media platforms including X (formerly Twitter), Instagram, and Reddit’s r/f1wagssnark are buzzing with “speculation, memes, support, and jokes.” Some users have pointed to shared connections, including musician Kygo, while others have referenced previous relationship drama or questioned whether the pairing is genuine.

Despite the mounting attention, neither Alix Earle nor Lando Norris—and neither of their representatives—has commented publicly on the reports or confirmed a relationship.
