NFL star WR of Miami Dolphins Braxton Berrios is now dating Tiktok star Alix Earle. At the 2023 ESPY Awards on July 12, the couple was seen walking hand-in-hand, seemingly confirming their relationship. Although nobody has explicitly said it yet, there have been enough cues.

For months, Alix Earle has been dropping hints about the presence of a man in her life. The cues included clips, cheeky responses to fans’ comments, and stories on Instagram. However, this new relationship has not been one without some drama. Sophia Culpo probably has not taken this episode well due to her breakup with Braxton recently. 

Braxton Berrios is dating TikTok star Alix Earle

A “GRWM” video on Tiktok in March was what led to initial rumors of the two being a couple. “You’re probably wondering why I’m getting ready, I’m making it with someone I met the other night,” she said. In early May, a fan recognized Earle and Berrios at a restaurant in Miami. Later in the same month, Berrios attended Earle’s graduation ceremony. This was followed by a post from the celebrity gossip account DeuxMoi on Instagram Story about Berrios and Earle, but neither responded. 

Things started to heat up quickly after this. On June 8, Alix Earle posted a TikTok where she is getting ready for a date night. The next day, Earle and Braxton Berrios were spotted attending an NBA game together. She later confirmed the attendance. But on June 10th, Alix Earle denied being in a relationship with Braxton by commenting “I’m single” on TikTok. Other incidents involved them enjoying a vacation in the Hamptons and the Palm Tree Music Festival on June 24th. 

By this time fans had started speculating about her relationship, which she indirectly acknowledged by commenting “We’re not even ‘dating’ but just hard for me to not share stuff w u guys hahaha.” On July 12th, they were seen walking hand-in-hand on the red carpet of the 2023 ESPY Awards, implying that the two might be a couple.

Braxton Berrios’s relationship timeline with Culpo

Berrios got involved with Sophia Culpo around early 2021. The couple gave fans a glimpse into their relationship through their social media accounts. But eagle-eyed followers could suspect something was wrong. Berrios stopped appearing on her Instagram feed around November 2022. Fans speculated a breakup, and it was revealed to the case. 

On March 23, Sophia confirmed her breakup with Berrios, and then on June 27 and June 28, both shared their side of the story. While Berrios simplified it by saying “[things] weren’t working out”, Sophia added a few details. She stated (through Instagram stories) that she found Berrios cheating on her at the Drake show (Super Bowl LVII weekend). Berrios has denied the allegations. 

It will be hard to determine whose story is true, but it seems both Berrios and Culpo have moved on from their relationship in different ways.
