Alix Earle Details “Tough” Reunion With Braxton Berrios After Breakup

Nevertheless, “it was a really fun weekend overall,” she confirmed, “just being with my friends and my family.”

The 25-year-old also shared going to the gym is one way she’s been keeping herself busy throughout her breakup and in the downtime since wrapping up Dancing With the Stars in the fall (Alix placed second with partner Val Chmerkovskiy).

“I have just been obsessed with moving my body,” she said. “I feel like it’s really helping me just feel like I have control of one thing. I just feel a lot healthier when I do it—like my mind feels better, my body feels better.”

While Alix and Braxton stayed quiet about their breakup initially, the influencer eventually shed light on why she and the Houston Texans wide receiver parted ways. 

“We have been doing long distance since, basically, June and we haven’t gotten to see each other that often,” she said in a Dec. 13 TikTok. “It’s just been really difficult for me.”

Plus, she added, "A part of me also really wants to be focusing on myself right now. I just feel like I can’t be what Braxton needs.”

After all, she and the athlete both lead their own busy lives.

“I want him to have someone with him 24/7 who can support him and be there for him," she explained. "And he wasn’t really expecting that of me. I think it was more a me thing, but I constantly felt guilty.”

But despite deciding they’d be better off on their own, Alix explained the parting was on good terms. 

“I love Braxton,” she said. “He’s my best friend, you know? So it’s been really difficult as we’re trying to go forward with this.” 

“It just kinda feels like we’re on two different paths right now and it sucks,” she said. “We’re on good terms and I don’t want anyone to come for him or to be mean to him.”
