Did Alix Earle and Braxton Berrios Break Up?
People have been constantly whispering about Alix Earle and Braxton Berrios breaking up. Every time Alix pops up solo at a Miami party, or Braxton is spotted at a Texans practice alone, the internet just kind of runs with the idea they’ve split. But seriously, that’s just noise—loud, persistent, sometimes messy noise. Less than 48 hours ago, Alix actually addressed those rumors head-on in her Hot Mess podcast and then doubled down in a 20-minute Instagram video, just shutting it all down. She basically said point-blank that she and Braxton are still together, and that none of this party gossip is even based in reality.
She summed it up best herself: “When we go out without each other, everyone’s like, ‘You and Braxton are broken up because Alix is out at a party without him.’” It’s just people projecting, maybe because they can’t imagine trusting someone enough to live separate lives, even for maybe a week at a time. “Honestly, it’s just trust,” she shrugged, “You just gotta let go of the drama.” Even E! News and Fox ran the headlines: They’re not split, they’re not broken up. For now, Alix is in Miami, and Berrios is with his new Houston Texans squad, so yeah—it’s long distance, but it’s definitely not over by a long shot.

Who is Alix Earle Boyfriend Braxton Berrios?
For some, Braxton Berrios might just be a name you’ve seen on ESPN’s bottom ticker, but there’s way more to the guy than being “Alix Earle’s NFL boyfriend.” Berrios, 29, was drafted by the Patriots back in 2018, won a Super Bowl his rookie year (even though he was injured), then got picked up by the Jets, and eventually made a mark with the Dolphins—now he’s doing his thing in Houston with the Texans. His versatility, work ethic, and off-field style gave him a bit of a cult following before TikTok ever cared who he was.

But as for his personality, everyone who knows him says the same thing—super low-key, funny, not much for the drama. Which is probably why his vibe matches with Alix’s. She said on her podcast: “When I met Braxton, I literally was like, ‘The last thing on earth that I want is a boyfriend,’...and yet here we are”.
He’s also all over Alix’s TikTok and Instagram—sometimes in the back of Miami Heat games, sometimes sunburned in the Bahamas, and once, he even posted a shirtless sauna selfie this spring with “We are so back.” Not sure if that’s confidence or just good heat recovery, but fans ate it up.
Alix Earle and Braxton Berrios Relationship History
Their relationship didn’t exactly start smooth. Both met at a Miami party in February 2023, and from there things kind of snowballed—mostly in public, a little bit in secret. For months, Alix kept calling Berrios just her “NFL man” on TikTok, swearing she wasn’t looking for a boyfriend. But after Berrios split with Sophia Culpo, and a mess of TikTok speculators tried to piece together a “timeline” between Alix and Sophia, everyone watched to see if Alix and Braxton would make it official.
By July 2023, they did their first red carpet together at the ESPYS. Late summer and fall saw more public support: Alix in Dolphins colors at games, Braxton showing up in dance TikToks, even hitting Coachella as a (sort of) couple.
There’s been drama, of course. Early 2024, Sophia Culpo hinted at accusations of cheating, and for months after, fans tried to uncover some kind of “betrayal plot.” But Alix addressed all of it, saying, “I was probably more psycho than she was…” and explained, with receipts, that her relationship with Braxton started after his previous ended. Since then, they moved in together—Alix moved officially into Braxton’s Miami place in spring 2025 even though he was packing up for Houston.
They balance it all as a long-distance couple now, Braxton in Texas with the NFL, Alix doing podcast work, dancing, and keeping her own career in Miami and LA. Both say it works because “we’re just busy, and we support each other.” Nothing is sugarcoated, and honestly, that seems to work for them.
