Who Is Todd Galski From Earle Meets World? Meet Alisa Earle’s Boyfriend

Earle Meets World may revolve around Alix Earle, but Netflix spends enough time with her unusually close blended family that several relatives and partners become characters in their own right. Todd Galski enters the series as the longtime boyfriend of Alix and Ashtin Earle’s mother, Alisa Maniaci, but he occupies a somewhat unusual position inside the family.

Todd is neither an influencer nor someone pursuing reality TV fame as a career. He is an experienced medical-device sales executive from New Jersey and a father himself, and the Earle sisters describe him as one of the people capable of providing an outside perspective when their family’s normal level of chaos becomes difficult to recognize.

Todd Galski Is Alisa Maniaci’s Longtime Boyfriend

Todd is Alisa’s longtime partner, although their relationship has reportedly had on-and-off periods over the years. Alisa was previously married to Alix and Ashtin’s father, Thomas “TJ” Earle, before their marriage ended following TJ’s relationship with his future wife, Ashley Dupré.

By the time Earle Meets World begins, Todd is already well established in Alisa’s life and familiar with the wider Earle family. He also accompanied Alisa to the show’s Los Angeles premiere, where the couple appeared alongside Alix, Ashtin, TJ, Ashley and other family members.

What Does Todd Galski Do for Work?

Todd has spent much of his professional career in sales, particularly within the medical-device and healthcare industries. His current professional profile identifies him with Pulmonx Corporation, and other professional records list him as a Senior Regional Business Director with the company.

His career goes back considerably further than the Netflix show. Todd previously held sales positions with companies including Guerbet, Sonendo, AngioDynamics, ConMed Endoscopic Technologies and GlaxoSmithKline. He attended the University of Richmond before earning a bachelor’s degree in communication from Rutgers University in 1995.

That background makes Todd noticeably different from many of the younger personalities surrounding Alix. While Earle Meets World deals heavily with influencers, brand work and social media management, Todd has built his career largely outside that world.

Todd Asks Alix Before Moving in With Alisa

One of Todd’s more meaningful moments in the series concerns his future with Alisa. After the couple’s previous ups and downs, Todd wants to move in with her, but before doing so he speaks to Alix and asks for her blessing.

The conversation matters because Alix and Ashtin are extremely protective of their mother. Todd makes it clear that he wants Alisa to feel secure and cared for, and his decision to involve Alix demonstrates that moving in together is not simply a decision between two people in this particularly interconnected family.

How Do Alix and Ashtin Feel About Todd?

Netflix’s own introduction to the family suggests Todd has been accepted by both sisters. Ashtin describes him as a good partner for her mother, while Todd and Ashtin have apparently developed their own running habit of exchanging knowing looks when family conversations become especially chaotic.

That makes Todd something of the Earle family’s reality check. Because he entered the family from outside its complicated shared history, he can sometimes notice behavior that everyone else has simply accepted as normal. Netflix also notes his fondness for making martinis, giving him a comparatively relaxed role amid some of the heavier family discussions.

Does Todd Galski Have Children?

Todd is also a father of two from outside his relationship with Alisa. Public coverage of Earle Meets World has identified that part of his life, although he has maintained considerably more privacy around his children than the Earle family maintains around its own household.

That privacy is consistent with Todd’s overall presence. He appears in the Netflix series because of his relationship with Alisa and his place in her daughters’ lives, but his professional career and most of his personal life have remained separate from Alix’s influencer business.

For viewers meeting him through Earle Meets World, that may ultimately be what distinguishes Todd. He is not trying to become another Alix Earle. He functions more as the relatively grounded outsider who has slowly become part of one of reality television’s newest blended families.
