On the evening of Sunday, January 11, Alix Earle made the heartbreaking announcement that her mother, Alisa Earle, has been diagnosed with cancer. Alix says she got the news halfway through her “Dancing With the Stars” journey.
Alix Earle’s Mom Was Hospitalized 3 Days Before Cancer News
Three days earlier, the reigning “DWTS” runner-up told fans that her mom was in the hospital for a procedure. Now, she’s revealing more information about the reason for that hospitalization. Earle revealed her mom’s cancer diagnosis in Sunday’s TikTok post and wrote in the caption, “Go momma! So proud and inspired by you. No challenge you can’t face and come back stronger. She then tagged her mom’s TikTok handle before writing, “Love you.”
The video shows Alix and her 21-year-old sister, Ashton, at their mother’s side as she lays in a hospital bed. In one clip, Alix grabs a carton of ice cream for her mom and in another, she lovingly helps style her mother’s hair, who is seen leaning back with her eyes closed while dressed in a hospital gown. In another clip, the social media star clutches her mother’s hand while the three women watch football in the hospital room.
Alix chose an inspiring audio for the video which says, “Strong women never give up. We might need a coffee, we might need a good cry, we might need a day in bed. But we will always come back stronger.”
Alix Earle Says Her Mom Attended Every “Dancing With the Stars” Show Despite Cancer
Alix Earle opened up to a fan in the comments of her post about how her mom didn’t let the cancer diagnosis get in the way of supporting the 25-year-old during “Dancing With the Stars.” The fan wrote, “This is what she was struggling with during ‘DWTS'” and Alix replied, “We found about halfway through the season and she still showed up every week.”
Earle, who was partnered with Val Chmerkovskiy, was cheered on each week from the audience by many other members of her support system as well. She told People how she worked to accommodate all the family and freinds who wanted to come and watch, saying, “It’s a big family. They’re all coming out for the first show. And then I had to make an Excel doc for my friends, cause like, I can’t have you all here at the same time.” Ashtin was frequently seen in the audience as well as her dad, her little brother Thomas, and her stepmom, Ashley.
