Alix Earle and Logan Paul seem to have moved past their earlier awkwardness, with the pair seen chatting at a small celebrity get-together in the Hamptons only months after a public misunderstanding between them, the Daily Mail can reveal.
The 25-year-old social media star and the 31-year-old WWE performer were spotted deep in conversation Tuesday night at a low-key barbecue hosted at Fanatics chief Michael Rubin’s lavish Hamptons estate, ahead of his celebrated annual White Party.
Rubin’s all-white celebration brings together roughly 375 major names from entertainment, sports and business at the expansive property he shares with his model partner, Camille Fischel, and their two young daughters.
Long regarded as one of the summer’s most sought-after invitations, the star-packed gathering returned after a brief pause last year and has previously welcomed A-listers including Beyoncé and Jay-Z, Kim Kardashian and Justin Bieber.
The annual bash is typically held around July 3 or July 4, but this year it was scheduled for July 1, with guests expected to arrive around 5pm and celebrations set to continue until about 6am.
The Daily Mail learned that Rubin, 53, moved the date to avoid competing with the highly anticipated wedding of Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce, which appears to be taking shape at Manhattan’s Madison Square Garden on Friday.
However, sources later told TMZ that the sports merchandise billionaire selected July 1 to steer clear of a potential conflict with the UFC’s White House event, which had originally been planned for Independence Day.
Earle and Paul’s apparent truce follows a contrite apology from the WWE star after he appeared to make fun of her at a Fanatics Super Bowl Party in San Francisco in February.

The pair’s détente came after the WWE star issued a groveling apology for appearing to mock her during a Fanatics Super Bowl Party in San Francisco back in February
Paul had been interviewing the TikTokker for his podcast when he awkwardly asked her if she had won Dancing With The Stars before.
Visibly taken aback, Earle replied: ‘No, I haven’t. Thank you so much for rubbing it in.’
The social media sensation had competed on the ABC show with dance partner Val Chmerkobskiy, but was pipped to the winner’s crown by Robert Irwin, the Australian wildlife conservationist.
After Earle’s sour reaction, Paul insisted his question was a genuine ‘mistake’ and that he had not meant to mock Earle.
‘I made such a mistake. I thought she won,’ he later told Barstool star Brianna LaPaglia on his Impaulsive podcast.
‘I was like trapped. I was like, ‘Oh f***.’ Here I am thinking I’m complimenting her, like laying her up to be like, ‘Yeah, I won!’ And then, I was like, ‘F***, she didn’t win.’
‘I owe her an apology,’ Paul admitted.
‘[…] Look, I’m not a perfect human being, far from it.’

By Tuesday, it appeared to be all water under the bridge on an outside terrace of Rubin’s home, exclusive Daily Mail pictures show.
The pair were joined by Paul’s boxer and influencer brother Jake Paul, 29, and his fiancee Jutta Leerdam, a 27-year-old Dutch Olympic speed skater.
It is unclear if Logan’s Danish model wife Nina Agdal, 34, attended the BBQ.
Leerdam, wearing a flowing white flowered dress, was also spotted on the balcony of Rubin’s $50million oceanfront mansion, attending to their golden retriever, Thor.
Jake Paul later shared a video on his Instagram stories in which he and his brother playfully begged Rubin to allow Thor, sporting a smart blue tie, to attend the main White Party event later on Wednesday.
Rubin, seen wearing a white Christian Dior top and dark shorts, said he would put it to a vote and decide.
In an amusing scene earlier in the evening, black-clad event staff were seen walking a long-haired dachshund and two golden Labradors down the street – but it is unclear who the dogs belonged to.
