Alix Earle began dating Braxton Berrios after his split from Sophia Culpo

Alix Earle started dating Braxton Berrios after his split from model Sophia Culpo in 2023. The duo was spotted together on multiple occasions, but they denied any romantic relationship. At the same there were rumours of cheating as Earle revealed spending time with someone special shortly before Olivia Culpo and Braxton’s breakup. Earle was even called a homewrecker at that time. During her appearance on Call Her Daddy, Alix denied the allegations.

Alix Earle confirmed dating Braxton Berrios

The duo made their first appearance together at the ESPYs in July 2023. In December 2023, Alix admitted to dating Braxton and revealed that the two met in Miami back in February 2023 but were just friends until March 2023. Soon, Alix and Braxton were seen together at many red-carpet events and Super Bowl parties.

She regularly attended Miami Dolphins games and shared updates about their relationship on social media. She soon moved in with Braxton and started living with him in early 2025. Speaking about the same in one of the TikTok videos, Alix shared:

“So, I moved into my boyfriend Braxton’s house. Which is really, really weird for me to say. Technically Braxton moved to Houston."

Alix Earle and Braxton Berrios' breakup

In June 2025, Alix and Braxton’s breakup rumours started surfacing on social media, and Alix shut down the rumours by wearing a shirt that says "I love my boyfriend." During an episode of Dancing With the Stars Season 34, Braxton came to support Alix. After months of speculation, Alix confirmed her breakup from Braxton in December 2025. In an emotional video, she said:

“I think it was more of a me thing. However, I constantly felt guilty, and I love Braxton; he's my best friend, after all. It's been really difficult as we try to move forward with this. It just kind of feels like we're on two different paths right now."

What led to Alix Earle and Braxton Berrios’s split?

The relationship took a turn after Earle ventured to Los Angeles to compete on Dancing With the Stars. Long distance was one of the major reasons for their split. It was too much of a strain on the pair's relationship, as Berrios' football schedule kept him from attending any of her performances. In her video, Alix revealed that the decision was not caused by any drama or hatred, but rather fuelled by personal growth and shifting priorities for each of them. 

In her Instagram video, Alix Earle also clarified the exact reason for her breakup. She admitted that there was no external reason for their split, but their long-distance arrangement and personal growth ultimately led them down this path. Revealing her emotional phase, she said:

“I thought that, you know, maybe I wanted to stay (in LA), and I felt really motivated. And I think that was a scary thing for me to realise, because it meant us not being in the same place. A part of me just also really wants to be focusing on myself right now, and I just feel like I can't be what Braxton needs. I want him to have someone with him 24/7, who can support him and be there for him."
