In the latest on the Alix Earle-Braxton Berrios breakup, the influencer shared an emotional Instagram video detailing the split after two years, blaming long-distance strains and her desire for self-focus. She urged fans to ease up on Berrios amid backlash to his recent post.
Social media influencer Alix Earle, 24, confirmed her breakup with Houston Texans wide receiver Braxton Berrios, 30, in a tearful Instagram video posted over the weekend, following reports and his own social media post that sparked fan backlash.
Earle explained the couple had been long-distance since June, exacerbated by her time in Los Angeles for 'Dancing with the Stars,' where she felt motivated to stay. Berrios remained in Houston for football, leading to their paths diverging. 'I want him to have someone with him 24/7 who can support him,' she said, noting it was her decision driven by guilt, not pressure from him.
Despite the split, Earle stressed their amicable terms: 'I love Braxton… he’s my best friend.' She addressed online criticism of Berrios' 'What did I miss?' post, calling for kindness and debunking rumors, like his absence from her DWTS finale due to football commitments. Earle was spotted at LAX focusing on herself and later partying at Art Basel.
This follows backlash to Berrios' lighthearted post days after breakup rumors, where fans accused him of insensitivity. The internet remains divided on their split.
