Alix Earle and Braxton Berrios have parted ways after over two years together.
A source confirmed to Page Six on Saturday that the “Dancing With the Stars” alum and NFL star have split and that it was mutual. “It was distance induced,” they told us.
A Page Six spy tells us the podcast host was seen “having fun” at the 1 Hotel in South Beach on Friday, and has recently attended Art Basel parties in Miami.
Page Six has reached out to reps for Earle and the Houston Texans wide receiver.
The pro athlete, 30, and influencer, 24, became the focus of split rumors after Berrios missed the “Dancing With the Stars” Season 34 finale last month.
Last weekend, however, Earle appeared to push back on the speculation when she took to TikTok with a “Get Ready With Me” video, where she gave fans a “post-‘DWTS’ debrief” on the competition show’s last episode — and an apparent explanation for his absence.
A fan wrote in the comments thread “Ugh I hope u and Braxton are still together,” to which she replied, “He couldn’t come bc of football :(.”
The three-hour finale of the iconic dancing competition — which aired live — was filmed in Los Angeles on Nov. 25.
Berrios had a game in Texas against the Buffalo Bills on Nov. 20, followed by an away game against the Indianapolis Colts on Nov. 309.
Berrios offered his support to Earle in an affectionate pre-taped video aired during the finale.
“I’ve watched you pour everything into this since the moment it has started, and I think it shows,” he said in the clip, adding, “Good luck. Have fun, babe.”
Despite the encouragement from the athlete, Earle and her partner Val Chmerkovskiy lost out on the iconic Mirrorball Trophy to Australian conservationist Robert Irwin and Witney Carson.
Earle and the football star were first romantically linked in May 2023, and the couple subsequently hard-launched their relationship that October with a steamy Instagram post.
In the pic, a bikini-clad Earle wrapped herself around the shirtless athlete while kissing him at sunset. “Hbd nfl man,” she captioned the sultry upload, acknowledging his 28th birthday.
