Alix Earle and her boyfriend, Houston Texans athlete Braxton Berrios, have split after two years together, multiple sources exclusively confirm to Us Weekly.
“Majority of their relationship was long-distance and it was hard for them to navigate,” one insider tells Us. “They mutually agreed on the split.”
Reps for Earle, 24, could not be reached for comment.
Earle and her Dancing With the Stars partner, Val Chmerkovskiy, recently finished in second place during the November 25 finale. While Berrios, 30, was not in attendance due to his NFL schedule, he sent a video message in support of his now-ex.
“I’ve watched you pour everything into this since the moment it has started, and I think it shows,” Berrios said in a prerecorded video. “Good luck. Have fun, babe.”
Earle and Berrios were first spotted in public together in May 2023 soon after his split from Sophia Culpo, who accused him of cheating. Berrios refuted his ex’s allegations, claiming on his Instagram Story in June 2023 that things “weren’t working out” with them and their breakup “had nothing to do with anybody else.”
That September, Earle alleged on the “Call Her Daddy” podcast that Berrios and Culpo, 28, “were not together” when she struck up a casual romance with the NFL player, recalling that she was “bawling her eyes out to my friends” while reading comments about the infidelity rumors.
Earle denied that Berrios was her boyfriend on several occasions before ultimately confirming their relationship in November 2023.
“To the person who taught me to love wholeheartedly .. happy 1 year ❣️ You have become so much more than my best friend and partner,” she wrote via Instagram for their November 2024 anniversary. “I didn’t know I was capable of this type of love and I feel like I have truly found my other half! I love you.”

Nearly three months later, Earle opened up exclusively to Us about the serious nature of her relationship with Berrios.
“We always talk about our future,” she told Us in February. “Right now, we’re so focused on our careers that we live in the moment and don’t rush into anything. I think that’s the cool thing about being with Braxton, [he] is not scared of any type of future.”
While Earle joked about a potential engagement in January, she insisted she and Berrios didn’t have a certain timeline for taking that step.
“I think we are just kind of letting each other live right now, and we’ll see where we end up,” she explained.

When Earle made her Dancing With the Stars debut in September, Berrios was missing from the audience due to his schedule as a wide receiver for the Houston Texans. However, Earle noted that he was cheering her on from afar.
“Braxton has been so supportive, but I didn’t show him the routine or anything,” she exclusively told Us after the season 34 premiere. “I wanted to keep it a surprise.”
According to Earle, Berrios “kept asking” her to reveal her dance, but she opted not to clue him in ahead of time.
