Alix Earle and Braxton Berrios Break Up After Over 2 Years of Dating: Sources

Alix Earle and NFL player Braxton Berrios have gone their separate ways after more than two years together.

Multiple sources confirm that the pair recently split and describe the breakup as mutual.

Reps for both Earle and Berrios could not immediately be reached for comment.

The influencer, 24, and the 30-year-old wide receiver first connected at a party in February 2023. For a while, Earle kept things low-key, referring to her new partner only as “NFL Man” in her TikTok videos. Fans later spotted the couple together in a TikTok clip showing Earle meeting a fan at a Miami restaurant.

As speculation grew, the two appeared to confirm their relationship publicly when they walked the red carpet together at the 2023 ESPY Awards that July, marking their debut as a couple at a major event.

In September 2025, Earle added a new milestone to her career by joining the season 34 cast of Dancing with the Stars. Paired with pro dancer Val Chmerkovskiy, she made it all the way to the finals, ultimately finishing behind winners Robert Irwin and Witney Carson.

During the 11-week competition, Berrios was not seen at the live tapings. Earle repeatedly pointed to his NFL schedule as the reason for his absence. At a press event following the cast reveal on Sept. 3, she explained that her then-boyfriend couldn’t attend her first show because he was “stuck in football world.”

Even from afar, though, Berrios occasionally showed his support online. During the third episode of the season, he posted a photo of hosts Julianne Hough and Alfonso Ribeiro from the show’s intro to his Instagram Stories, adding “Let’s gooo!” over the image. He also added a red heart next to Earle’s face, visible in the background on the TV screen.

As Dancing with the Stars and the NFL season overlapped, Earle still carved out time to celebrate Berrios’ 30th birthday. Taking advantage of the Texans’ bye week and his first trip to Los Angeles since the show began, she organized an elaborate surprise party.

In a TikTok video, Earle revealed that she had secretly invited many of Berrios’ closest friends and family members to L.A. to mark the occasion. She noted in on-screen text that he had believed they wouldn’t celebrate “until the off season.”

“I wanted to plan something special for him,” she wrote, adding that “all of his best friends flew out to L.A. just to surprise him and be here for this night.”

Despite Berrios’ absence from DWTS tapings, the couple showed up for each other in other ways over the course of their relationship. Earle supported him at several of his NFL games, and he appeared at events tied to her various projects, including promotions for her SipMARGS beverage brand.

When Berrios tore his ACL during the Miami Dolphins vs. Indianapolis Colts game, Earle used her Instagram Stories to reaffirm her support and admiration for him.

“Day in and day out you inspire me and I have no doubt that you will be back and better in no time,” she wrote at the time. “I love you.”
