Alix Earle and Braxton Berrios attend Kentucky Derby 151 at Churchill Downs
The real reason behind the breakup of influencer Alix Earle and NFL player Braxton Berrios has finally been revealed. On Tuesday, an insider spoke to Us Weekly, shedding light on why the couple’s relationship didn’t work out. According to the source, the long-distance nature of their romance proved difficult for the two. “Distance was a huge factor,” the insider shared.
“She really wants to spend more time in LA, while Braxton lives in Florida.” The distance between the two was further highlighted by the source, who said, “The more they spent apart, the more they realized they were growing apart as a couple.” As their time apart increased, the challenges of maintaining a relationship became more apparent.
Now, Alix is shifting her focus to herself. “Alix is now focused on her new chapter,” the insider added. “She’s been in great spirits and having fun with her friends.” The social media star appears to be embracing her next phase in life, remaining positive and surrounded by loved ones.

On December 6, Us Weekly first reported that Alix and Braxton had ended their two-year relationship. The insider further explained that the majority of their time together had been spent apart due to their respective locations. “Majority of their relationship was long-distance and it was hard for them to navigate,” the source said. Despite the struggles, the couple reportedly “mutually agreed on the split.”
However, Alix and Braxton have not publicly confirmed or denied the breakup, leaving some uncertainty around the details of their separation.
For those unfamiliar with their relationship, Alix, the popular influencer, and Braxton, a professional NFL player for the Miami Dolphins, began dating in 2023. Their connection seemed promising, but the pressures of long-distance and their busy schedules ultimately led them to part ways.
