Alix Earle has broken her silence on her split from Braxton Berrios as she reveals why they broke up.
The 24-year-old Dancing with the Stars alum and NFL star Braxton, 30, first got together in 2023.
However, it's clear the pair have gone their separate ways after Alix took to TikTok to share with her 8.2 million followers the latest update in her love life.
"It’s just been really hard to process in general, and I think why I’ve been scared to say something is because I feel like it just makes it more real," she began in the three-minute clip posted yesterday (14 December).

"Braxton and I are no longer together. We have been doing long distance since basically June, and we haven't gotten to see each other that often."
Alix went on to explain that she started really liking Los Angeles while filming Dancing With the Stars - something which helped her realise that she wanted to stay.
However, such a move put even more distance between her and Braxton, who plays for the Houston Texans.
"I think that was a scary thing for me to realise because it meant us not being in the same place," she continued. "A part of me just also really wants to be focusing on myself right now, and I just feel like I can’t be what Braxton needs.
"I want him to have someone with him 24/7 who can support him and be there for him - and he wasn't really expecting that of me, I think it was more of a me thing - but I constantly felt guilty."
The social media star then confirmed that while she and Braxton are on 'different paths', they are still on 'good terms', explaining: "I don’t want anyone to come for him or be mean to him or to say it's because he couldn't make it to Dancing with the Stars... because he couldn't come because of football.
"I think the scary part is, part of me doesn't know if how I feel even makes sense. I think I question myself a lot of, 'Why do I feel this way?' or 'Are these feelings correct?'"
Alix captioned the TikTok video: "There hasn’t felt like a right time or way to speak on this, but I just wanted to sit and talk from the heart, the best I can right now."
Earlier this month, a source told Us Weekly that Alix and Braxton called it quits because they were 'growing apart as a couple'.
Alix 'really wants to spend more time in LA, while Braxton lives in Florida,' the insider shared.
A source also confirmed to Page Six that the breakup was 'distance-induced'.
