Ashtin Earle is kicking off her hot girl summer with a new love interest: DJ John Summit.
The content creator and musician were first spotted in early July 2024, packing on the PDA during one of his sets. Earle addressed the rumors that the two were together on her sister Alix Earle’s podcast, Hot Mess with Alix Earle, sharing that the two were just “having fun.”
Earle, who turned 21 in April, has been building her own career on TikTok after making appearances on Alix’s page. Her content often includes “get ready with me” videos as well as sneak peeks of her life as a student at Tulane University.
Summit has had a busy summer with the release of his debut album, Comfort in Chaos, years after he quit his job as a CPA. Though he’s skyrocketed to fame, he admitted to PEOPLE in July 2024 that he wasn’t sure if he was ready for a relationship.
"The week I left my accounting job, I also found out my girlfriend was cheating on me, so I quit that and I quit the girlfriend in the same week," he said. "I've been single ever since, so then I'm kind of scared of, if I do get a relationship, it's going to ruin my career, because everything's going so good. I feel like a lot of people can relate to that maybe, too."
From their PDA moments to spending time together in Las Vegas, here’s a complete timeline of Ashtin Earle and John Summit’s rumored relationship.
