Alix Earle was caught in a surge of emotions after running into her ex, Braxton Berrios.

The social media influencer did not hold back, detailing the emotional moment as she spoke to her fans on TikTok. Giving viewers a glimpse into the full experience as she did her nighttime routine on screen, she tried to reenact some of the scenes while putting her thoughts and emotions into words.

Alix Earle and the NFL wide receiver broke up last December after dating for over two years. Over the years of their relationship, they were spotted together on simple outings and at public events, showing support for each other.

Earle gave her fans the tea of a recent run-in with her ex-boyfriend, Berrios, saying it was a “cry-maxing” emotionally heavy scene for her. She explained the sequence of events as she cleaned off her makeup and dressed in her comfy pajama set.

She said that her eyes were “a tad bit puffy” as she applied her cleansing balm before narrating the encounter with Berrios.

Earl shared that she saw her ex that night, immediately noting that they were on good terms, following their recent breakup. “It was normal and fine, and we were joking around with each other,” she said of their meetup.

The influencer then explained in the TikTok how a solo picture led her to reflect on their romantic days. “Someone that we both are friends with was taking photos of us together, and then it was like, ‘Oh, Alix, get a solo shot,’” she said, adding that she pushed him out of the way to get her solo photo.

“It was funny and fun, and then it wasn’t,” she said, explaining that from that moment, she spent the rest of the night with her eyes wandering around the room looking for Berrios. “I think that really sucked, catching myself doing that,” the podcaster declared.

The Influencer Opened Up On The Aftermath Of Their Meeting

 “It’s hard when you see someone for a second, and it’s fun and normal, but that’s just a dose of it – that’s done. That started to hit me,” Earle continued before sharing that she tried to dance and sing the feelings off.

According to Earl, some of her friends noticed and asked if she was crying, which she later admitted to because sometimes feelings spiral out of control.

“Sometimes you’re just a girl, and sometimes water just falls out of your eyes,” she added, reassuring herself and viewers that it is okay to let tears roll when things like these happen.

The social media personality then shared that she went home and let her emotions loose by crying to her dog, after which she felt better. Earle concluded her video, telling fans that she was sharing her experience for others in similar situations to relate to the ordeal.

Some fans in the comments praised her for being vulnerable and speaking out, while others urged Berrios to reach out to her and rekindle their romance.

Inside The Former Lovebirds’ Relationship

Earle, who rose to fame from posting TikTok videos in 2020, majorly documenting her life as a student at the University of Miami, was linked to the NFL wide receiver in 2023.

She recalled meeting Berrios at a party in February 2023, and two weeks after they met, he invited her to the Super Bowl.

At that time, Earle insisted that they were “nothing but friends,” especially due to her uncertainty about his relationship status.

Rumors started circulating the following month after she hinted on TikTok that she might be dating someone. She said she was making sushi for dinner for someone special in the video but did not disclose a name.

In May, a fan posted that she met the influencer and Berrios together at a restaurant in Miami, and later that month, the athlete reportedly attended her graduation. They were spotted at other events, and in one of Earle’s videos, a man’s hand was featured.

In another video, a clip of her hugging a man whose face was hidden from the camera, fuelled fans’ speculations. Through all the call-outs, the podcaster insisted that they were not dating.

BRIDES reports that the former couple had their red carpet debut in July at the 2023 ESPY Awards but were still keeping things casual at the time.

It was not until November, after several outings, including attending Berrios’ NFL games, that she confirmed on the “Call Her Daddy” podcast that she was officially in a relationship.

The ‘Dancing With The Stars’ Alum Admitted To A Slip-Up Post Breakup

One thing Earle will not do is hold back on the juicy details. In March, she appeared on “The Drew Barrymore Show” to promote her skincare line, where she admitted to making a late-night drunk decision she now regrets.

The influencer was asked to share the last bad idea she had, to which she replied with a laugh, “Oh, my gosh. Probably texting my ex at, like, five in the morning after going out.” She admitted that it was not the best idea at the time before explaining how the moment went down.

The Blast reported that although Earle did not disclose the ex she was talking about, she told viewers without hesitation that she had just had a few drinks on a night out before sending the text.

Her sister entered the picture, helping her to proofread the text. In her words, “If you’re gonna send this, at least send it with it all spelled correctly.” 

The podcaster noted that she felt a swell of confidence shortly after sending the message, which did not last long, as she felt “terrible” when she came to.

Alix Earle Says She Is All In For Age Gap Relationships

The media personality has been recently linked to 48-year-old football legend Tom Brady. In addressing the rumors, Earle made a revelation about the dating regulations she sticks to. She shared that she does not get involved romantically with people in the same age bracket as her.

Earl disclosed that she went on a date with a guy who was a year older than her but regretted it, saying, “I can’t do it again.” This may not come as a huge surprise, as there is a five-year age gap between the podcaster and her most recent ex, Berrios.

She defended her notion, stating that when she spent time with someone close to her age, she simply didn’t feel like she was with a true man. Earle further explained that she piques interest in older partners because she wants someone who can take care of her.

As reported by The Blast, the TikToker admitted to having gone overboard sometimes with the gap. “Sometimes then I’ve gone too far the other end, and I’m like, ‘Grandpa!’” she joked.

Earle and Brady sparked rumors after they were spotted together at a yacht party in St. Barts during the New Year’s Eve celebrations, more so because they appeared at the exact same high-profile event in Las Vegas.
