Influencer Alix Earle and NFL wide receiver Braxton Berrios have officially gone their separate ways, marking the end of their more than two-year romance, sources confirmed to PEOPLE. The split, which was reportedly mutual, comes after the couple first met in early 2023 and made their relationship public with a red carpet appearance at the 2023 ESPY Awards.
Here is everything you need to know about Braxton and his past relationship with Alix.
Braxton is an American professional football wide receiver and return specialist currently with the Houston Texans of the NFL. He was born in Raleigh, North Carolina and starred at Leesville Road High School before playing college football at the University of Miami, where he became one of the team’s top offensive weapons and punt returners.
He was selected in the sixth round of the 2018 NFL Draft by the New England Patriots and earned a Super Bowl LIII ring as a rookie, though he didn’t see game action that season. He went on to spend four years with the New York Jets, where he developed his role as a versatile receiver and return man.
In March 2023, he signed with the Miami Dolphins. To mark the move, he shared childhood throwback photos of himself in Dolphins gear on Instagram, captioning the post, “Some things are just meant to be.” He later re-signed in 2024, though his season was cut short by a torn ACL that landed him on injured reserve.
In 2025, Braxton joined the Houston Texans.
Braxton was in a relationship with Sophia Culpo, sister of Miss Universe 2012 Olivia Culpo, from late 2020 to early 2023. Sophia, 26, confirmed her split from Braxton in March, after which rumors began floating around that Braxton cheated on Sophia with Alix, which the athlete denied on his Instagram Story in June 2023.
