Ashtin Earle Responds to PDA Photos with DJ John Summit That Sparked Dating Buzz: 'I'm Just Having Fun'
The duo appeared to soft launch their relationship over the July 4th weekend
Ashtin Earle has finally addressed all the chatter around her recent getaway in the Hamptons, which included PDA-packed hangouts with DJ John Summit.
On a July 11 episode of her sister Alix Earle's podcast, Hot Mess with Alix Earle, the influencer, 21, said she's "just having fun" after sparking dating buzz with the music producer, 29, during Fourth of July weekend.
At the time, TikToker Hannah Kosh was just one of the fans posting videos and photos showing Earle and Summit publicly cozying up to each other at multiple parties. A video shared by another user even captured the two locking lips as Summit performed a set onstage.
"This is just a new experience for me to be recorded every time I'm out," Ashtin said of how she feels about being filmed in public, agreeing with her famous sister that "it is a little creepy."
Earle went on to explain that she "doesn't realize" she's being filmed in the moment as it's not something she thinks about.
"I feel for you right now," sympathized Alix, who's relationship with NFL star Braxton Berrios has been in the public eye since 2023. But, she noted, "I don't feel bad though because you're having fun."

The “Where You Are” artist also alluded to the TikToker on Instagram, including a picture of him onstage with Earle at his side with her back facing towards the camera.
A rep for Summit did not return PEOPLE's request for comment. However, he seemed to indirectly address the rumors on X (formerly known as Twitter) on July 3. "Never going out in public again," he wrote.
