Alix Earle Opens Up About Emotional Reunion with Ex-Boyfriend Braxton Berrios
Social media influencer Alix Earle has provided a candid account of her emotional reunion with former NFL boyfriend Braxton Berrios, while ongoing speculation continues to swirl about her potential romantic involvement with football legend Tom Brady. The 25-year-old content creator, who ended her relationship with the Houston Texans wide receiver in late 2025 after more than two years together, unexpectedly encountered Berrios at the Palm Tree Music Festival in Aspen, Colorado last weekend.
Difficult Festival Encounter
In a revealing TikTok video captioned 'Wednesday chat', Earle addressed the encounter that has captivated her millions of followers. 'I know a lot of you guys keep asking me, but yes, I did see my ex this weekend for the first time since October,' she confirmed to her audience. The influencer described the experience as profoundly challenging, explaining: 'It was honestly just really hard for me - really weird, really hard. I was really emotional.'
Earle detailed how the first night of the festival saw them in the same venue without direct interaction. 'The first night we were like in the same place but we didn't say hi to each other, just because I didn't want to go up and annoy him, I don't know, but I could see him out [of] the corner of my eye,' she revealed. The second night brought a brief greeting, but the experience remained difficult for the social media star.
From Best Friend to Stranger
The influencer poignantly described the emotional complexity of seeing someone who was once central to her life. 'It's weird when you go from someone being like your best friend to being a stranger in the corner of the room. So that was tough, and by tough I mean terrible,' Earle confessed. This emotional disclosure comes just months after her tearful announcement of the breakup in late 2025, where she stated: 'I can't be what Braxton needs. He wasn't really expecting that of me. I think it was more of me, I constantly felt guilty.'
Tom Brady Speculation Intensifies
Meanwhile, speculation about Earle's potential romance with seven-time Super Bowl champion Tom Brady has reached new heights following multiple public appearances together. The pair were first spotted enjoying a flirty New Year's Eve celebration in St. Barts, and were subsequently seen dancing together at a Super Bowl LX party in San Francisco earlier this month. Brady, 47, has remained single since his 2022 divorce from supermodel Gisele Bündchen after thirteen years of marriage.
Earle's recent social media activity has further fueled the rumours. Following the Super Bowl weekend, she told followers: 'Let's get ready for the Super Bowl. I didn't go to bed until 6 last night, but we are up and ready. Benito day!' Many fans interpreted this as a possible reference to spending late hours with the NFL legend. The influencer has embraced a more carefree social approach recently, stating: 'It has been so much better being a little bit more carefree, going up and talking to people.'
Fashion Statement Sparks Interpretation
Earlier this month, Earle sparked particular interest when she was photographed in New York City's Tribeca neighborhood wearing a grey sweatshirt emblazoned with the phrase 'ON TO BETTER' in bold black lettering. Many followers interpreted this fashion choice as a subtle message directed at Berrios as Earle appears to be moving forward with her life. The influencer was returning from San Francisco where she watched the Seattle Seahawks defeat the New England Patriots at Super Bowl LX.
Despite the swirling rumours and emotional reunion revelations, Earle has maintained her characteristic openness with followers while navigating the complexities of public relationships and personal healing in the spotlight.
