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

Alix Earle and Braxton Berrios have broken up after more than two years together.

Multiple sources confirm to PEOPLE that the couple recently split and that the breakup was mutual.

Reps for the stars could not immediately be reached for comment.

The influencer, 24, and the professional athlete, 30, started dating after meeting at a party in February 2023. After a couple months of playing coy and vaguely referring to her relationship with an “NFL Man” in her TikTok videos, the two were spotted together in a TikTok video of a fan meeting Earle at a restaurant in Miami.

After continued swirling speculation, Earle and the wide receiver — who played for the Miami Dolphins at the time — seemingly confirmed their relationship when they made their red carpet debut at the 2023 ESPY Awards that July.

In September 2025, the content creator opened a new chapter in her career when she joined the season 34 cast of Dancing with the Stars. Earle and her pro partner Val Chmerkovskiy made it all the way to the finals, though they placed under winners Robert Irwin and Witney Carson.

Over the course of the 11-week competition, Berrios was not seen at the live episode tapings. Throughout, Earle continuously cited his NFL commitments to explain his absences. At a press event following the cast reveal on Sept. 3, she told PEOPLE that her then-boyfriend was unable to attend her first show due to being “stuck in football world.”

He did, however, take to social media to show his support for Earle’s dancing on occasion. As she competed on the third episode, Berrios posted a photo of announcers Julianne Hough and Alfonso Ribeiro during the show’s introduction to his Instagram Stories.

“Let’s gooo!” he wrote over the photo. Next to Earle’s face, which can be seen in the background of the clip on the TV, Berrios added a red heart.

As the DWTS and NFL seasons were ongoing, Earle made time to celebrate Berrios’ milestone 30th birthday on his first visit to L.A. since the start of the Dancing with the Stars season, as the Texans had their bye week.

In a TikTok video, Earle revealed that she had set up an elaborate surprise for him, including inviting many of his friends and family to L.A. to celebrate. In overlaying text, she explained that Berrios had be under the impression that they wouldn’t commemorate the occasion “until the off season.”

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

Despite Berrios’ absence from any DWTS events or tapings, the two supported each other at other times throughout their relationship. Earle showed up to Berrios’ NFL games on several occasions, and he did appear at promotional events for Earle’s other endeavors, like her SipMARGS beverage brand.

When Berrios tore his ACL during the Miami Dolphins vs. Indianapolis Colts game, the TikTok star took to her Instagram Stories to state her staunch commitment to cheering on her boyfriend.

“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. “I love you.”
