Alix Earle and Braxton Berrios are officially calling it quits. In a tearful video shared on her TikTok and Instagram accounts on December 13, Alix opened up about their decision to part ways. "Braxton and I are no longer together," she confessed to her followers, with raw emotion. "We've been doing long distance since June, and it hasn't been easy."
Their romance began in November 2023 when Braxton was with the Miami Dolphins, a team located in Alix's hometown. However, things changed when Braxton signed a new contract with the Texans, which took him further away. As Alix candidly admitted, "I think that was a scary thing for me to realize because it meant us not being in the same place. A part of me also really wants to be focusing on myself right now. I just feel like I can’t be what Braxton needs."
Despite the challenges of distance, Alix defended Braxton against criticism for not being there during her stint on Dancing With The Stars. "He couldn't fly to Los Angeles due to his NFL commitments, but he supported me through social media and was always in touch," she explained. "I want him to have someone with him 24/7 who can support him and be there for him," she continued, emphasizing that it was more her own feelings of guilt rather than any demands from Braxton.

Fans quickly flooded the comments section with theories and support. One fan speculated, "Braxton is 30, he’s probably ready for marriage and kids. Alix is barely 25 and blowing up with work right now, so she’s probably not ready for that right now. That’s hard to navigate, especially with distance."
Braxton, meanwhile, has remained largely silent, only posting a cryptic Instagram photo with the caption, "What did I miss?" This sparked a mix of reactions, with some fans defending him against the backlash. "D**n this comment section needs to chill," one supporter wrote.
As the dust settles on their relationship, both Alix and Braxton seem focused on their individual paths, with Alix's stepmom expressing continued affection for Braxton and acknowledging his ongoing connection with the family.
