Influencer Alix Earle and NFL Player Braxton Berrios Break Up After Two Years
Social media personality Alix Earle and NFL wide receiver Braxton Berrios have ended their relationship after dating for over two years, according to multiple reports confirmed on Saturday, December 6, 2025. Sources close to the former couple have indicated that the split was mutual, primarily due to the intense challenges of maintaining a long-distance relationship amid their demanding professional schedules.
The popular TikTok star, who recently finished as a runner-up on Dancing With the Stars (DWTS), and the Houston Texans player had been a prominent public couple since they first sparked romance rumors in early 2023. Ms. Earle initially kept her partner’s identity private, referring to him as “NFL Man,” before the relationship was confirmed in November 2023. They often shared moments of support for each other’s careers, including attending the 2024 NFL Honors and Ms. Earle appearing at his football games.
However, the strain of distance reportedly intensified recently. Ms. Earle was based in Los Angeles for her appearance on DWTS, while Mr. Berrios was committed to the Texans’ season in Houston. Mr. Berrios was notably absent from the DWTS live shows, which Ms. Earle had publicly attributed to his NFL commitments, and he did support her via a video message during the finale. Reports suggest that the difficulty of navigating these separate, high-demand careers ultimately led the couple to mutually agree to part ways. Neither Ms. Earle nor Mr. Berrios has issued an official public statement regarding the separation as of Sunday morning.
