Influencer Alix Earle wasted no time hitting the party scene following her mutual breakup with NFL player Braxton Berrios after more than two years together. The split, confirmed by PEOPLE, stemmed from busy long-distance schedules as Earle wrapped Dancing With the Stars and Berrios focused on his career with the Houston Texans. Earle made her first post-breakup appearance at NYLON House during Art Basel in Miami.
Oh, the tea is piping hot, darlings! Alix Earle, the 24-year-old TikTok queen and Dancing With the Stars finalist, is out here living her best single life just days after calling it quits with 30-year-old NFL wide receiver Braxton Berrios. Sources confirmed to PEOPLE that the breakup was mutual, chalked up to their jam-packed, long-distance vibes—think Earle slaying on the dance floor while Berrios geared up for gridiron glory with the Houston Texans. The couple, who first sparked dating rumors in March 2023 right after Earle's split from MLB's Tyler Wade, went public that July at the 2023 ESPY Awards. Fans ate up their romance, with Earle dishing glimpses via vlogs, like that swoon-worthy Bahamas birthday bash where she dubbed him her 'NFL man.' Braxton even posted throwback pics from the trip, captioning it 'Worth the wait.' But after more than two years of jersey cheers, game-day support, and navigating his team hops—from Dolphins in March 2023 (with that cute childhood Dolphins gear IG post: 'Some things are just meant to be') to a heartbreaking ACL tear in 2024 and now Texans in 2025—it just fizzled.
Before Earle, Berrios was linked to Sophia Culpo from late 2020 to early 2023. Things got messy post-split when Sophia spilled on TikTok (later deleted) that they broke up after he was spotted making out with another girl at the Drake concert during Super Bowl weekend in February. Braxton clapped back on Instagram Story: 'I was in a relationship for two years… It had nothing to do with anybody else, for that matter. And we just didn’t work out, and that’s OK.' Cheating rumors swirled, but he denied them hard.
Fast-forward to December 7, 2025: Earle hit NYLON House at Art Basel Miami, smiling, dancing, and mingling like heartbreak? What heartbreak? She posed for pics and soaked up the spotlight amid Miami's A-list crowd, including Tyga, Lori Harvey, Ice Spice, Sofi Tukker's Tucker Halpern, and manager Myles Shear. Berrios? Nowhere in sight, leaving his ex to own the night. Single and serving looks—Earle's not crying over spilled milk; she's toasting to the next chapter. So, is this the end of an era, or just the plot twist we didn't see coming? 🔥
