Why Alix Earle and Braxton Berrios Broke Up After DWTS

Social media’s favorite It-girl and the NFL’s rising star have officially gone their separate ways. Alix Earle and Braxton Berrios have broken up after nearly two years of dating, and fans are still processing the unexpected split.

The Hot Mess podcast host and viral TikTok sensation confirmed her relationship with Houston Texans wide receiver Braxton Berrios in October 2023. From game-day cheers to long-distance FaceTimes, the couple quickly became one of the most talked-about influencer–athlete pairings online. But now, their love story has quietly come to an end.

According to multiple reports, the breakup happened after Alix wrapped up her emotional and exhausting run on Dancing With the Stars. Throughout the season, fans had been speculating about trouble in paradise when Braxton wasn’t spotted in the audience supporting her in person. Still, Alix shut down rumors at the time, explaining that his NFL schedule kept him from attending.

Even from afar, Braxton showed his support. During the DWTS finale, a heartfelt video message from him aired, where he told Alix how proud he was of her dedication and growth on the show. It was a moment that reassured fans their relationship was still strong—or so it seemed.

Behind the scenes, Alix had openly shared how much Braxton meant to her during the stressful competition. She even revealed that she leaned on him during emotional breakdowns and constant self-doubt. Daily FaceTime calls and mutual encouragement kept their long-distance relationship alive while both pursued demanding careers.

But after Alix finished as the runner-up on Season 34, things reportedly began to change. Instead of flying out to support Braxton at his NFL games, she stayed back in Los Angeles for a while. Soon after, she was seen returning to Miami and enjoying time with friends at Art Basel, further fueling breakup rumors.

Now, with the split confirmed, fans are left surprised and heartbroken. Many had rooted for the influencer–athlete duo, believing they had what it took to go the distance despite their hectic lifestyles.

As of now, neither Alix nor Braxton has publicly addressed the reason behind their breakup. Sometimes, even the most supportive love stories can’t survive clashing schedules, constant travel, and life in the public eye.
