Alix Earle heads out on first date since Braxton Berrios split
The influencer reveals her mystery man slid into her DMs with a skincare line and caught her attention
Alix Earle is stepping back into dating life just four months after her breakup from NFL star Braxton Berrios.
On Monday, the 25-year-old influencer and TikTok star shared with fans that she was going on a first date with a new man.
“Not sure how to feel,” she admitted. “I don't know what I'm scared for — but just [have] a nervous feeling in my stomach.”
Earle revealed in a TikTok that the mystery man had slid into her DMs, catching her attention with a line about skincare — a nod to her recently launched brand, Reale Actives.
Though she did not disclose his identity, she shared that their date plans include a drive to Malibu, a walk on the beach, and grabbing a bite to eat. She also quipped that she had “the perfect pair of sandal heels” for the occasion.
“I’m a nervous girl right now. It’s been, like, four months since my breakup. But you know what? It just feels weird still,” Earle said, admitting the emotional challenge of dating again after a long-term relationship.
Earle and Berrios, 30, ended their relationship in December after over two years together.
The influencer later described the split as necessary, explaining in a tearful TikTok that she couldn’t “be what Braxton needs” while balancing her own busy schedule, which included filming the 34th season of Dancing with the Stars.
The pair briefly reunited at the Palm Tree Music Festival in Aspen in February, with Earle calling the encounter “terrible” as she came to terms with the shift from best friend to stranger.
Since her split, Earle was also briefly linked to retired NFL quarterback Tom Brady, 48.
They were first spotted together at a New Year’s Eve party in St. Barths and later appeared at a San Francisco party during Super Bowl weekend.
Sources told People in February that the duo was “hooking up,” though neither party commented publicly.
