Braxton Berrios Returns To Spotlight After Alix Earle Split

Braxton Berrios is stepping back into the spotlight as questions swirl around his breakup with Alix Earle and her increasingly public next chapter.

After months of speculation, viral moments, and whispered rumors, the NFL wide receiver is finally addressing where he stands.

His comments arrive just as Earle prepares to open her life to cameras, ensuring the story is far from over.

Braxton Berrios made his first public appearance since his very public breakup while attending the 2026 Pegasus World Cup in Miami.

The Houston Texans wide receiver, 30, walked the red carpet with ease, offering a brief but telling update when asked how he was doing in the wake of the split.

“I’m doing great,” Berrios told the Daily Mail, marking his first acknowledgment of the breakup since it was confirmed late last year.

The appearance was notable not just for what he said, but for the timing.

It came after weeks of renewed attention following viral footage involving his ex and one of the most famous athletes in the world.

For Berrios, the event symbolized a return to public life after navigating a highly scrutinized personal chapter.

The end of the relationship became public in December when Alix Earle confirmed the split in an emotional TikTok video.

Fighting back tears, the 25-year-old influencer explained that the decision was rooted in logistics and long-term compatibility rather than bitterness.

“I want him to have someone with him 24-7 who can support him and be there for him,” she said in the video. “I love Braxton, he’s my best friend, so it has been very difficult as we’re trying to just go forward with this.”

At the time, the breakup appeared amicable. The former couple continued following each other online, and there were no immediate signs of tension.

Their public handling of the split earned sympathy from fans who had followed their two-year relationship closely.

Despite the public confirmation, sources suggested the story was not entirely settled.

An insider previously told the Daily Mail that Braxton Berrios was still processing the loss and had not fully closed the door on reconciliation.

“He misses her, and the most perfect scenario would be to be back with her, but along with the distance, they would have to figure a few things out before entertaining any type of reconciliation,” the source said.

That sense of unfinished business lingered until events at the end of the year shifted the narrative dramatically.

While Berrios stayed largely silent, Earle’s New Year’s trip quickly became the focal point of renewed speculation.

The footage showed her rubbing the retired quarterback’s back and whispering in his ear, instantly igniting dating rumors.

The moment carried extra weight given Berrios’ history with Brady. The two were teammates on the New England Patriots in 2018, and Braxton Berrios had previously spoken highly of the legendary quarterback.

Following the viral clip, Berrios unfollowed Earle on social media, a move that did not go unnoticed.

When asked at the Pegasus World Cup whether the situation meant he no longer supported the Patriots, Berrios laughed and replied: “Stop.”

Although insiders later clarified that Earle and Brady are not officially dating, speculation has continued. One source told the Daily Mail that it “isn’t far-fetched that this could develop into something,” keeping the rumor mill firmly spinning.

Earlier this month, both attended the College Football National Championship between the Miami Hurricanes and Indiana Hoosiers.

While Brady was on the sidelines, the two were seated separately.

Earle still managed to draw attention by taking a selfie with Jordon Hudson, the girlfriend of former Patriots coach Bill Belichick, who remains close to Brady.

As personal drama unfolds, Earle is preparing to share even more of her life with the public.

The influencer, who boasts 8.3 million TikTok followers and 5.4 million on Instagram, announced last week that she has landed a new unscripted reality series on Netflix.

Hospitality mogul David Grutman, executive producing the series through DGN Studios alongside Evan Rosenfeld, offered insight into what viewers can expect.

“We all know Alix and Ash [her sister Ashton Earle], but the rest of the family is on another level, you’re going to love the dynamic with everybody,” he said.

Grutman acknowledged that the project took time to come together, explaining that it “took a lot of convincing” for the family to agree and had been “years in the making.”

Still, he emphasized the timing felt right, adding, “I think now’s a great time and we’re so excited about this one.”

Earle herself addressed her family’s hesitation with humor in the show’s teaser, joking, “Dad. It’s gonna be fun. It’s gonna be fine. I mean, what’s the worst that could happen?”

According to Grutman, filming is already underway. He revealed that the family has “started filming” and is sharing everything from the very “first episode.” When asked whether Earle’s breakup with Braxton Berrios would be included, he candidly noted, “It’s a show about her life and their lives, so I think it’s all going to be there.”
