Alix Earle and Braxton Berrios just marked two years together with loving tributes and a signature roses tradition, showing why they’re social media’s most relatable celebrity couple as they balance fame, distance, and commitment.
From Miami Meet-Cute to Anniversary Rituals: A Timeline of Young Love
Alix Earle, the beauty and lifestyle influencer with millions of devoted social media followers, and Braxton Berrios, Houston Texans wide receiver, first met at a Miami party in February 2023. This unexpected pairing of influencer and athlete quickly captured the internet’s attention, with fans invested from the first clues of their romance.
After months of rumors, Earle and Berrios made things official on the red carpet at the July 2023 ESPY Awards. Their willingness to share their relationship journey, including both high-wattage events and private moments, set the tone for a refreshingly open celebrity romance.[People]
Why Their Anniversary Tradition Resonates: Roses, Laughter, and Meaningful Gestures
On November 11, both Earle and Berrios commemorated their two-year anniversary with touching social media tributes. Earle’s Instagram story showed the couple on a boat, radiating simple happiness, captioned “2 years ❤️ @braxtonberrios.” Berrios responded with his own collection of images: candid selfies, shared laughter, and the phrase, “2 years of laughter, happiness & loving every piece of you ♥️.”
Perhaps most significant is their tradition of an anniversary bouquet. This year, Berrios posted a photo with a bouquet of roses from Earle, writing, “Flowers are dope. Thank you cheeky ❤️.” The ritual began in 2024, when Earle gifted Berrios a massive bouquet for their one-year mark—a gesture Berrios publicly called a “cool surprise.” These heartfelt, personal touches resonate with fans who crave authenticity and recognize the ritual as a grounded counterpoint to flashy celebrity grandstanding.[People]
Real-Life Challenges: Maintaining Connection Through Long-Distance and Ambition
Their anniversary posts come after months of juggling busy schedules and bicoastal careers. Berrios’s NFL duties have kept him in Texas, while Earle has spent the past eight weeks in Los Angeles, competing in season 34 of Dancing with the Stars. Celebrity relationships often falter under public scrutiny and conflicting careers, but Earle and Berrios have consistently prioritized connection—with surprise reunions and celebrations that remind followers real love requires effort.
The couple’s public reunion in L.A. for Berrios’s 30th birthday, orchestrated by Earle and captured in a TikTok video, showcased her surprising Berrios with friends and family—a move that generated viral fan appreciation for her thoughtfulness. “Braxton thought we weren’t going to celebrate his birthday until the off season,” Earle captioned, as fans shared the couple’s elation and gratitude.
Why Fans Are Invested: Relatability, Vulnerability, and the ‘Call Her Daddy’ Factor
Much of the fan fervor surrounding Earle and Berrios is grounded in how they’ve balanced influencer transparency with the realities of adulthood and celebrity. Earle has spoken candidly about the highs and lows of their relationship, further endearing her to audiences craving authenticity. Her confirmation of the romance on the Call Her Daddy podcast in November 2023 was a key moment that invited public support and illuminated how today’s celebrity relationships are shaped by, and shape, fan communities.[People]
