Alix Earle is the host of a wildly popular podcast, is a Dancing With the Stars finalist, and has a net worth in the millions.
She also has an NFL player boyfriend named Braxton Berrios.
According to ESPN, Berrios is a wide receiver for the Houston Texans. He is 30 years old, went to college in Miami, and was drafted in 2018. According to People, Earle and Berrios have dated for two years as of November 2025. They met at a party in Miami.
She has discussed the challenges of a long-distance relationship, admitting that balancing DWTS with his football career has been "a little difficult."
"Communication is key if you're in long distance," she said to E! News. "It's hard. Cherish the moments you do get to talk and spend together."
Berrios also has a massive social media following, and he has used it to sing the praises of his girlfriend. "I hope everybody gets to feel as loved as I felt this weekend," he wrote in October alongside a photo showing him with Earle.
"There’s nothing better than being surrounded by the people you love that traveled across the country to be there for you. Alix I don’t know how you pulled this surprise off but I’m so thankful you did. What a way to start 30!" he added.
Earle responded in the comment thread, "Love you."
He's shared photos of the couple posing together at events before.
In 2024, Berrios gushed about Earle again. "Happy birthday to this amazing woman. Watching you take on the world in stride is a simple joy in my life. You’re loved by everybody you meet and that’s a testament to your heart and the person you are," he wrote.
"I’m honored to call that person mine. You’re my best friend, the person I can always lean on, and I feel lucky to walk into year 24 with you. There’s nothing I wouldn’t do for you sweetheart, I love you ♥️"
That same year, he declared, "The happiest year of my life belongs to you.
My best days are the ones I spend with you and my favorite memories are too. You’re my best friend and have made me feel a way I didn’t know existed."
He added: "I’m so in love with the woman you are and am in awe of the one you’re becoming, and I thank God every day that he brought you to me. Observing you has been inspiring, being with you has been fulfilling, and loving you is easier than it’s ever been. Happy 1 year and to many more my love ♥️"
Earle posted about Berrios on Instagram in October, when she wished him a happy birthday.
