Alix Earle tells about an emotional argument with her ex, Braxton Berrios.
The influencer posted an “UNGRWM” (un-get ready with me) video via TikTok on Monday, May 25, in which she documented getting ready for bed the night before when she talked about running into Berrios on a night out.
“Crymaxxing,” said Earle, 25, admitting that her “eyes were a little puffy from crying.”
“Of course I saw my ex tonight, but we get along well, so it was normal and okay and we joked around with each other,” the podcaster explained.
At the Grand Prix in Miami, speed is required – and surprising reunions between ex-partners. After a TikTok video circulated online of Alix Earle and Braxton Berrios randomly running into each other at Sports Illustrated’s fifth annual Race Weekend Kickoff at Thomas Keller’s Surf Club Restaurant at the Four Seasons in Miami on Thursday, April 2nd (…)
Earle continued, “It was fun and funny and then it wasn’t. I kept finding myself looking around the house all night saying, ‘Hmm, where is he?’ I really hate being caught doing this. I think it’s hard when you see someone for a second and it’s funny and normal, but that’s just a dose of that and then that’s it. That started to hit me.”
The “Hot Mess With Alix Earle” host admitted she became emotional when she saw Berrios, 30, trying to put on a brave face.
“Sometimes you just can’t help it. Sometimes you’re just a girl and sometimes your eyes just water. Sometimes that happens and that’s okay,” she said. “I did the responsible thing and called a car home for myself and cried to my dog.”
Us weekly broke the news in December 2025 that Earle and the Houston Texans wide receiver had split after nearly two years together.
Earle later confirmed the news in an emotional TikTok video.
“Braxton and I are no longer together,” she tearfully told fans at the time. “Basically, we’ve been traveling long-haul since June and haven’t seen each other that much. It’s just been really difficult for me.”
Earle said she was considering a permanent move to Los Angeles after living there while competing Dancing with the stars. Berrios now lives in Houston.
“I think that was scary for me because it meant we weren’t in the same place. Part of me really wants to focus on myself now too,” she said. “I just feel like I can’t be what Braxton needs.”
Social media is officially on fire. What started as a quiet business breakup between “Call Her Daddy” host Alex Cooper and influencer Alix Earle has turned into a full-blown public feud, involving Barstool’s Dave Portnoy, podcaster Brianna “Chickenfry” LaPaglia and even a fast food chain. Cooper and Earle once stood on solid foundations. (…)
“I want him to have someone who is there for him 24/7 and supports him. He didn’t really expect that from me… I felt guilty all the time,” Earle continued.
“It just feels like we’re on two different paths right now, and that sucks,” she admitted, describing Berrios as her “best friend.”
Earle added: “We get along well and I don’t want anyone to come to him or be mean to him.”
“I think ultimately I just wanted to trust my feelings,” she said. “That was just really hard. … It’s not a drama. It’s not that he did anything wrong or I did anything wrong. It just didn’t really feel like it was working out in the moment.”
