Alix Earle Emotionally Explains Breakup with Braxton Berrios in Instagram Video

After rumors about a break up between social media star Alix Earle and NFL wide receiver Braxton Berrios began to swirl online, Earle has shared a video explaining her side of the story.

On Saturday, December 13, Earle took to Instagram to confirm the rumors that she and Berrios, 30, have officially ended their relationship. The young couple began dating in early 2023.

In the video, an emotional Earle, 24, admitted that the break up has been “really hard to process.” She continued saying that she has shied away from speaking publicly about the break up "because I feel like it just makes it more real."

“Braxton and I are no longer together. We have been doing long distance since basically June, and we haven’t gotten to see each other that often,” Earle continued.

Admitting that the distance had been difficult, Earle explained that she began second guessing herself after moving out to Los Angeles while competing on Dancing With the Stars, revealing she really enjoying herself while living on the West Coast.

“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 realize, because it meant us not being in the same place,” Earle explained, adding that “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.”

Earle continued saying that she can’t be there for Berrios “24/7.” And although Berrios wasn’t expecting that from Earle, she said, “I want him to have someone with him 24/7, who can support him and be there for him.”

“I think it was more a me thing,” Earle admitted, “but I constantly felt like guilty, and I love Braxton, he’s my best friend, you know. So it’s been really difficult as we’re trying to just go forward with this. It just kind of feels like we’re on two different paths right now.”

Earle noted that she and Berrios remain on good terms before cautioning her fans, saying, “I don’t want anyone to come for him, or to be mean to him, or to say it’s because he couldn’t make it to Dancing with the Stars because he couldn’t come because of football.”

The influencer then shared more details about her fears, admitting that part of her “doesn’t know if how I feel even makes sense. Like I think I question myself a lot of, why do I feel this way? Or are these feelings correct? But I feel like I just ultimately wanted to go with trusting my feelings, and this has just been really hard,” she said, through tears.

After taking some time for themselves to “just process everything,” Earle is calling this moment in her like “a new chapter, and just thank you guys for being a part of all the amazing memories,” she said to her fans.
