Amid mounting speculation and growing distance, social media star Alix Earle and NFL wide receiver Braxton Berrios have quietly ended their relationship after more than two years together, according to multiple sources.

Their bond had begun in early 2023 after a chance meeting at a social gathering. For months they kept things vague, Earle referring to him only as her “NFL man” in casual social-media posts. The two publicly acknowledged their relationship that fall, debuting together at a star-studded red carpet event that cemented their status as one of sports and influencer-culture’s most talked-about couples.

In 2025 Earle’s profile surged further when she competed on Season 34 of Dancing with the Stars (DWTS). She made it to the finals with dance partner Val Chmerkovskiy. Amid the whirlwind of rehearsals and red-carpet appearances, however, Berrios was often absent, his football commitments with his NFL team took priority. On the night of the DWTS finale, he sent a supportive video message instead of attending in person, sparking public whispers that something had shifted between them.

For a time, Earle attempted to quell the rumors. She told fans via a “Get Ready With Me” social-media post that Berrios was away because of the league schedule. But those explanations did little to stem growing speculation as Earle was soon photographed socializing in Miami and attending events solo.

Sources close to the couple say the split was mutual, driven largely by the difficulty of sustaining a long-distance relationship amid hectic careers and conflicting schedules. While tension had reportedly been simmering for months, neither side has publicly confirmed the separation.

To many fans, their breakup highlights the challenge of balancing love and ambition in the spotlight. Earle’s fast-escalating influencer brand, bolstered by TikTok fame and reality-TV exposure, often pulled her in one direction. Berrios’s commitments on the football field moved him in another. The constant travel, pressure and public scrutiny left little room for them to grow together.

From red-carpet appearances and romantic posts to birthday celebrations and sideline visits, the couple once personified the modern celebrity pairing bold, visible, aspirational. Earle cheered on Berrios at games. He publicly praised her dance journey in social-media shout-outs. Their shared moments offered fans a fairy-tale narrative of fame, sport, and young love.

But as their lives evolved, so did the cracks in that fairy-tale. Insiders suggest that long periods apart, conflicting career pressures, and diverging ambitions made it harder for them to envision a shared future. The split, while perhaps inevitable, has still caught attention, a reminder that behind public images are real people wrestling with real choices.

For Earle, who once said she believed in committing to a partner despite public scrutiny, this may mark a turning point in both her personal life and her public persona. For Berrios, the focus likely returns to football, career growth, and moving forward. For fans who followed their every post, it is another chapter closing, one that underscores how love and lifestyle, when lived under constant glare, can be as fragile as they are celebrated.
