It's over for Alix Earle and her NFL beau! Alix Earle and Braxton Berrios, the NFL star, have reportedly ended their two-year romance, leaving fans shocked and curious about the reasons behind the split.
The news, first reported by US Weekly, comes just weeks after the couple celebrated their second anniversary. Braxton Berrios, a wide receiver for the Houston Texans, shared a romantic gesture on November 11, posting a photo with a bouquet of roses sent by Earle. But the relationship has since taken a turn, and they have decided to go their separate ways.
But here's where it gets intriguing... Fans had already begun to speculate about a potential breakup after the couple didn't reunite following the finale of Dancing With The Stars. And it seems like the long-distance nature of their relationship may have played a significant role.
A source revealed to US Weekly, 'The majority of their relationship was long-distance, which presented challenges.' This statement echoes Alix Earle's own words from earlier this year when she opened up about the difficulties of their long-distance romance on her vlog. She admitted that communication was harder than usual, marking a new obstacle in their relationship.
The timing of the split is noteworthy, as it comes just after Earle's impressive second-place finish on Dancing With The Stars with partner Val Chmerkovskiy. Braxton Berrios, due to his NFL commitments, couldn't attend any of her live shows but showed his support through a heartfelt video message.
And this is the part that might spark some debate... A source close to the situation shared with the Daily Mail that Alix has been unhappy with the relationship's trajectory, citing their frequent time apart, including spending Thanksgiving separately. The source added, 'They're trying to make it work, but their busy schedules are getting in the way.'
Despite the challenges, the couple managed to celebrate Berrios' 30th birthday together in October, with Earle throwing a lavish party during the Texans' bye week. Berrios expressed his gratitude on social media, thanking Earle for making him feel loved and surrounded by his favorite people.
The relationship's beginning was not without its own controversies, as rumors swirled about Earle and Berrios potentially being involved while he was still dating Olivia Culpo's younger sister, Sophia. Both Earle and Berrios denied these claims.
