Alix Earle and Braxton Berrios have decided to end their relationship after being together for more than two years.
A source disclosed to Page Six on Saturday that the separation between the former “Dancing With the Stars” contestant and the NFL player was mutual. “The split was due to the challenges of maintaining a long-distance relationship,” the insider revealed.
According to an observer speaking to Page Six, Earle, who is also a podcast host, was spotted enjoying herself at the 1 Hotel in South Beach on Friday. She has also been seen attending Art Basel events in Miami recently.
Page Six has reached out to representatives for both Earle and Braxton Berrios, who currently plays as a wide receiver for the Houston Texans, for any further comments.
Speculation about their breakup began swirling when Berrios, 30, was notably absent from the Season 34 finale of “Dancing With the Stars” last month, fueling rumors about their relationship status.
Last weekend, however, Earle appeared to push back on the speculation when she took to TikTok with a “Get Ready With Me” video, where she gave fans a “post-‘DWTS’ debrief” on the competition show’s last episode — and an apparent explanation for his absence.
A fan wrote in the comments thread “Ugh I hope u and Braxton are still together,” to which she replied, “He couldn’t come bc of football :(.”
The three-hour finale of the iconic dancing competition — which aired live — was filmed in Los Angeles on Nov. 25.
Berrios had a game in Texas against the Buffalo Bills on Nov. 20, followed by an away game against the Indianapolis Colts on Nov. 309.
Berrios offered his support to Earle in an affectionate pre-taped video aired during the finale.
“I’ve watched you pour everything into this since the moment it has started, and I think it shows,” he said in the clip, adding, “Good luck. Have fun, babe.”
Despite the encouragement from the athlete, Earle and her partner Val Chmerkovskiy lost out on the iconic Mirrorball Trophy to Australian conservationist Robert Irwin and Witney Carson.
Earle and the football star were first romantically linked in May 2023, and the couple subsequently hard-launched their relationship that October with a steamy Instagram post.
In the pic, a bikini-clad Earle wrapped herself around the shirtless athlete while kissing him at sunset. “Hbd nfl man,” she captioned the sultry upload, acknowledging his 28th birthday.
