Alix Earle Confronts DM Rumors After Reported Breakup with Braxton Berrios

Alix Earle is setting the record straight amid online speculation tying her alleged split to a rumored message from an NFL newcomer. Soon after reports surfaced claiming her relationship with Houston Texans’ Braxton Berrios had ended, fans began circulating a screenshot. The speculation suggested that another athlete wasted no time sliding into the 24-year-old’ influencer’s DM.

The conversation erupted over the weekend when a viral screenshot appeared to show New York Giants rookie Jaxson Dart reaching out to Alix Earle shortly after reports of the breakup spread. The supposed message read, “Hey u single now?” and was allegedly pulled from Earle’s close friend’s Instagram story. Within hours, TikTok users and fan accounts were sharing the image as proof that Dart had made a move.

Earle, however, quickly responded, and she didn’t mince words. In a TikTok posted on Sunday, the social media personality called the screenshot “fake” and claimed the message never happened. “What is this fake photoshopped DM u guys are posting.” She added that she wouldn’t share that kind of exchange publicly even if it were real.

The rumor came just one day after Us Weekly reported that multiple sources claimed Alix Earle and Braxton Berrios had ended their relationship after nearly two years together. One insider suggested distance and scheduling made the relationship difficult, and that the decision to part ways was “mutual.” 

The pair’s relationship had already been the subject of online scrutiny. When Earle and Berrios were first linked in 2023, some fans accused him of cheating on his ex-girlfriend, Sophia Culpo—an allegation the NFL player denied. Earle later said on the “Call Her Daddy” podcast that, to her understanding, Berrios and Culpo were no longer together when things began between them.

Despite the noise surrounding their relationship, Earle often spoke positively about Berrios, especially during their time competing on “Dancing With the Stars.” Berrios encouraged fans to vote for her and even recorded a message for the finale, calling her dedication inspiring.
