Alix Earle and Braxton
Berrios are navigating the stormy sea of modern romance with remarkable buoyancy, despite
a rather tumultuous beginning.
Before the couple made their partnership official, Berrios was involved in a two-year relationship with
Sophia
Culpo, who rather pointedly alleged infidelity on Berriosâ part, suggesting that he had
strayed with Earle. Both parties, for their part, vehemently denied speculation.
Earle, for her part, candidly shared her initial outlook, expecting her liaison with Berrios to be a
mere dalliance, especially considering he was a member of the New York Jets at their first encounter.
However, fortunes shifted as he relocated to the Miami Dolphins just a month later, bringing them into
proximity.
In their budding romance, Earle has been a steadfast supporter of Berrios, cheering him on at NFL
games, enjoying intimate outings, and sharing the odd public spectacle.
So, buckle your seatbelt as we recount the relationship journey between Earle and Berrios.

The coupleâs paths first crossed at a Gatsby-themed soirĂ©e in Miami, where Earle, almost comically, left in a rush to catch a flightâsans farewell to Berrios.
During a podcast episode of âHot Messâ in September 2023, Earle recounted this fateful night, detailing her approach to Berrios: âOh, you should really go talk to my friend over there,â his pal urged, prompting her dismissive response. That is, until she decided to take charge by quite literally shoving her hand in his face and declaring âYou!â Much to his bewilderment.
Later, while in Wyoming, she received a text from Berrios lamenting, âSo youâre just gonna leave without saying bye to me?â The duo soon blew the proverbial roof off their initial meeting with a helicopter date over Miami. A cinematic twist, donât you agree?
