Alix Earle and Braxton Berrios are still together after two years, navigating intense public scrutiny, swirling breakup rumors, and the demands of NFL and ‘Dancing With the Stars’ schedules—here’s what fans should really know about their relationship right now.
Alix Earle has taken TikTok and the entertainment world by storm with her authentic “get ready with me” videos and unfiltered personal stories. Her meteoric rise hasn’t just captured followers—it helped propel her into the spotlight as a standout on Dancing With the Stars (DWTS) Season 34. Yet, as the season’s finale closes in, the burning question for fans everywhere is: Are Alix and her NFL boyfriend, Braxton Berrios, still a power couple?
The spotlight on their romance grew even sharper as Earle advanced in DWTS, with viewers glued to social media for clues—and plenty of speculation—about the status of their relationship. Let’s break down the big events, the fan-driven theories, and what all this means for one of the internet’s most-watched young couples.
How Alix Earle and Braxton Berrios Became Social Media’s Favorite Couple
Their story began almost like a social media fairytale. Alix Earle and Braxton Berrios met by chance at a Miami party in February 2023, but didn’t go on their first date until March of that year—marked by an iconic helicopter ride. Official couple status followed in November, with their anniversary set as November 11th [Parade].
Earle, then still a college senior, and Berrios, a standout wide receiver who has played for multiple NFL teams, quickly found themselves under an intense media microscope. Their journey has included whispered drama from Berrios’ ex, accusations of cheating (which both strongly denied), and an ongoing push-pull between fame, sport, and authenticity [New York Post], [People].
Relationship Milestones—and the Fuel Behind the Rumors
Even as Earle’s star rose on DWTS, Berrios was navigating a new chapter in his NFL career. He signed a one-year contract with the Houston Texans and suffered a season-ending ACL injury with the Miami Dolphins in October 2023. Earle addressed this directly, sharing on her “Hot Mess” podcast how adversity brought them closer. Berrios voiced his appreciation for her unwavering support as he rehabilitated [YouTube].
Despite their steady affection—on full display during the surprise party Earle threw for Berrios’ 30th birthday—their demanding, bi-coastal schedules and rare public sightings have fueled breakup rumors among fans. Earle, splitting her time between Miami and LA, and Berrios, entrenched in a grueling NFL season, spent much of 2025 apart physically—yet continued to celebrate personal milestones, including their two-year anniversary with loving Instagram posts [AOL].
Public Appearances: Why Fans Are Reading So Much Into Absences
Body language and presence (or the absence) at public events are key for social media sleuths. Berrios has yet to appear live at Earle’s DWTS tapings, which some take as a sign of tension. Earle clarified that conflicting work schedules—especially Berrios’ NFL obligations—were behind his physical absence, echoing the realities faced by many celebrity couples. Meanwhile, both continue to support each other virtually, with Berrios regularly posting support for Earle online [People].
Earle herself hasn’t attended NFL games in recent months due to her DWTS commitments. Their mutual understanding and trust point to a committed partnership, not a faltering one.
Fan Community Theories: Trust, Distance, and Social Buzz
No couple is immune from internet speculation, but Earle and Berrios often use their platforms to address rumors directly. Earle called out the narrative that time spent apart equals a breakup, highlighting how trust—not just proximity—is the foundation of their relationship. She summed it up in a now-viral GRWM video: “I am allowed to go out without my boyfriend and I think we just trust each other. It’s not a crazy concept to us.”
This transparency, paired with authentic, often humorous content, has cemented their popularity—and fueled a fan base that roots for their relationship as much as for their individual careers.
Clearing the Air: The Cheating Allegations
Their early days were mired by allegations from Berrios’ ex, Sophia Culpo, who accused him of infidelity. Berrios repeatedly stated their breakup was due to incompatibility, not cheating. Earle denied being a “homewrecker” on her podcast and explained that she would not date someone who was still attached. Both have maintained this stance, projecting a united front despite external noise [People].
What’s Next: Engagement, DWTS Finale, and Long-Term Outlook
The couple is not engaged, though Earle has hinted at marriage-minded seriousness on her podcast. “I don’t think I would be with someone that I couldn’t see myself marrying—then why are you dating?” she reflected. Upcoming, fans are eager to see if Berrios will appear for the DWTS finale, which NFL scheduling technically allows. The anticipation only heightens the public’s investment in their story.
What sets Alix Earle and Braxton Berrios apart is their willingness to address the reality of modern relationships: fame, long distance, online scrutiny, and the commitment to both personal ambition and shared life. Their handling of the spotlight and each other reveals a deep trust—and a model for authentic celebrity romance in the social era.
