Alex Lee, also known as "Alex from Target," became famous in 2014 when a photo of him at work went viral on Twitter. He was 16 years old and working at a Target store in Texas at the time. The photo led to a surge of online fame, and Alex appeared on The Ellen DeGeneres Show to talk about his experience. However, the sudden fame also brought negative attention, including death threats and harassment towards him and his family.

Since then, Alex has largely stepped out of the public eye. He briefly returned to social media in 2018 with a since-deleted fitness page on Instagram, but its unclear what hes doing now. He has largely retreated from the spotlight and has no active social media accounts.

According to some sources, Alex moved to Los Angeles and built a new life for himself. He has a girlfriend named Kelsey, who has appeared with him on YouNow, a live streaming chat site. Alex has also uploaded videos to YouTube and has continued to upload new videos for his thousands of subscribers.
