Lexi Watts is a Utah-based influencer who’s garnered considerable attention for her running and fitness TikToks and some pretty controversial relationships.
Initially, she was a high school teacher and cheer coach at Lone Peak High School in Utah.
Lexi Watts, 28, is now in a relationship with 24-year-old, Tyler Sarkisian, a fitness coach.
The couple shares a strong bond, not just personally but also professionally, as they’re both passionate about health and fitness.
When Tyler completed the Mesa Marathon with an impressive time of 2:54:57, Lexi was right there to capture the special moment and cheer him on.
Since early 2025, the two have been posting content together on social media, training, running, and sharing their fitness journey as a team.
Whether it’s prepping for a race or just motivating others to stay active, they make a great pair both on and off the track.
But people online, especially on Reddit, have been bringing up her past, suggesting questionable or “shady” moments that some believe have been overlooked or forgotten.

But the marriage didn’t last long. According to Reddit posts, they were married for less than two years and split up around late 2020 or early 2021.
Some say the divorce was finalized in 2022 or 2023, but Lexi has scrubbed most traces of Joey from her social media, so it’s hard to pinpoint exact dates.
The Reddit threads paint a messy picture of the breakup.
One user, claiming to be friends with Joey, said Lexi was sneaking around behind his back, having an affair with a high school boy while they were still married.
When Joey found out and confronted her, it led to their divorce.
She was married to Joey, and then they got divorced less than 2 years of being married. After her divorce she first started dating a former student that graduated in 2019. After that ended she then started dating a boy who was still in high school, and they made it official one day after graduation. He graduated in 2021. I’m one of her former cheerleaders and watched her flirt with all the boys in my class. My parents even filled a complaint to the school district. She dated 3 former students Sam C graduated 2019 Eli C** graduated 2020 Chip B graduated 2021
Efficient Dream
Reddit users claim Lexi dated at least three former students after her divorce.
One story claims Lexi started dating Tanner, a student who graduated in 2019, right before he left for a mission.
Another guy, Carson, who graduated in 2021, reportedly became Lexi’s boyfriend the day after his high school graduation.
Some users even say they kissed that night, which raised eyebrows. Carson’s parents were not happy about the relationship, probably because Lexi was his former teacher and a lot older.
The relationship lasted about a year, until Carson left for his mission. Like Tanner, he came back early, and they broke up.
The third student mentioned is Jake, who graduated in 2020. The threads don’t give as many details about this relationship, but users claim Lexi dated him after her divorce, too.
According to some users, the school found out about Lexi’s behavior but wanted to keep things quiet.
She was allegedly given an ultimatum- resign or get fired. Lexi chose to resign and continued hanging out with former students, which added fuel to the rumors.
