Who is Kristin Konefal?
@alixearle Well this should be fun. @kristin konefal #roomies #newapartment #miami #moving ♬ original sound - lizaKristin Konefal is Alix Earle's best friend, and after graduating from the University of Miami in May 2023, Earle moved in with her in Miami. While many of Earle's former roommates from the Casa Amor gang chose to move to New York City for job opportunities, Earle and Konefal decided to stay in the Sunshine State and share an apartment together. Konefal has her own TikTok and Instagram accounts and also has an online shop selling her work as an artist, from art prints to merchandise like hoodies and phone cases featuring her artwork.
Despite her post-college adventures and travels all over the world, Earle has chosen Miami as her current home base, "adulting" with Konefal by her side. So we can expect Konefal to pop up in Earle's future videos. Throughout the summer, Earle has been jet-setting to various destinations, partying in Ibiza, Italy, and Greece with her college friends, and attending red-carpet events in Los Angeles, like the 'Barbie' premiere. Additionally, she has made time to visit her family in New Jersey, making her summer a whirlwind of exciting experiences.
In July, Earle and her college besties enjoyed a delightful two-week vacation in the beautiful Hamptons. The trip, filled with fun and memorable moments, was naturally well-documented on Earle's TikTok channel. As an avid content creator, she shared snippets of their reunion and the joyous times they spent together, giving her followers an inside look at their Hamptons getaway. The vacation served as a special opportunity for Earle and her friends to reconnect and create lasting memories after their college journey came to an end.
