Alix Earle’s emotional public breakup with NFL wide receiver Braxton Berrios has sparked an outpouring of support from her devoted fandom, A-listers, and fellow influencers alike.

After more than two years together, the couple quietly parted ways – a move Alix tearfully confirmed in a heartfelt TikTok video over the weekend, explaining that long‑distance life and shifting personal goals made it increasingly difficult for her to be the partner she wanted to be.

She made clear that the decision was mutual and devoid of any drama, emphasizing that they remain on good terms and she still cares deeply for Braxton as a friend.

There hasn’t felt like a right time or way to speak on this but I just wanted to sit and talk from the heart the best I can right now

"I wanted to give you guys an update on my life," she began her video. "I know I'm going to be speaking for the both of us, and it's just been really hard to process in general, and I think why I've been scared to say something is because I feel it just makes it more real." 

TikTok's "It Girl" continued through tears, "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," she explained. "It's just been really difficult for me." 

When they decided to make this difficult decision, Braxton is playing for the Houston Texans, and Alix was competing on Season 34 of DWTS. While being on the show, Alix realized that she might want to move to Los Angeles, which meant she would be away from Braxton. 
 
"That was a scary thing for me to realize because it meant us not being in the same place," she said. Alix continued to explain that she wants to focus on herself and physically "can't be what Braxton needs" at the moment. 
 
"I want him to have someone with him 24/7 who can support him and be there for him," she uttered. "And he wasn't really expecting that of me. I think it was more of a me thing, but I constantly felt guilty. I love Braxton. He's my best friend, you know? So it's been really difficult to go forward with this." 

Fans on social media have rushed to send love to Alix, flooding comments with messages of encouragement, empathy, and admiration for her honesty and vulnerability. Many expressed pride in how she handled the breakup with maturity – applauding her for prioritizing her well‑being while still insisting others be kind to Braxton too.

"We're on good terns, and I don't want anyone to come for him or to be mean to him or say it's because he couldn't make it to 'Dancing With the Stars.' Because he couldn't come because of football," she stressed. It's not drama. It's not because he did anything wrong or I did anything wrong. It just didn't really feel like it was working out." 

Support hasn’t just come from her core followers – A‑listers and creators in her circle have publicly echoed those sentiments, creating a virtual safety net of positivity during a tough time.

"You're vulnerability is so powerful," said 'DWTS' co-star Alan Bersten. "I love you so much ❤️," shared influencer Jake Shane. "fully tears in bed, this is so authentic and beautiful 🥺🫶🏻," added Ezra Sosa

Interestingly, the online reaction hasn’t centered on disparaging Braxton. Instead, many of Alix’s fans are also expressing respect for him, reminding others that he was committed to his NFL obligations — including travel that kept him from supporting Alix in person during Dancing With the Stars.


Despite some criticism of his recent social posts by a portion of the fanbase, a larger trend has emerged of compassion and restraint, with followers stressing there’s "no bad blood" and encouraging kindness toward both parties as they navigate this new chapter.

As the dust settles, fans are also curious to see how Alix and Braxton’s friendship will evolve now that their romantic relationship has ended. Fans are watching closely, cheering them on and hoping the two can maintain a meaningful connection even after their split.
