Alix Earle Teases Potential Move After Braxton Berrios Signs with Houston Texans

Alix Earle is in full "yee-haw" mode.

The 24-year-old social media influencer's boyfriend Braxton Berrios, 29, agreed to a one-year deal with the Houston Texans on Monday, March 10 after two seasons with the Miami Dolphins.

Earle, who's Miami-based, shared her candid reaction to the NFL player's team change and teased whether or not she'd be relocating to Texas in support of her boyfriend in two separate videos posted on TikTok.

The first TikTok was uploaded the day Braxton's career switch-up was announced, featuring a video backed to "Texas Hold 'Em" by Beyoncé. The clip was titled, "Let's go Texans," alongside a football and heart emoji.

The video started with Earle smiling and gesturing a lasso motion while the song played its catchy chorus. It then cut to a FaceTime screen recording of her and Braxton, who was seemingly telling her the news in the clip.

"Braxton got the call today he will be playing for the Houston Texans this year!! So incredibly proud & CANT WAIT to see what this next year brings," Earle wrote in the text that overlayed the video, complete with a red heart emoji.

In a second TikTok posted later that night, the Hot Mess podcast host expanded on Berrios' deal and shared her thoughts on the move.

"So we just found out that Braxton is going to be on the Houston Texans. We knew it was going to happen this week or next. I honestly, I thought I'd be with him for it," she says in her "Get Ready With Me" clip posted from Paris, noting that he called her when she was away.

"I have been saying all year round, not saying I'm psychic, but I was just having the itch for Texas," she says. "I was like, 'Why do I want to have a Texas moment'? So basically starting next month for OTAs, Braxton will be there until June."

Earle guesses her boyfriend will then be living in Houston from August until January of next year. "So I don't know, you're going to be seeing a lot of me there and I'm so excited to be there with him because his family's also in Dallas," she explained.

"And I'm just so excited for him, so proud of him. He's had a tough year with the injury," Earle says. "It's just scary going into a free agency year coming off of tearing your ACL."

She concluded, "So Dolphins, it was a fun run, but I'm switching teams."

Braxton first joined the Miami Dolphins as an unrestricted free agent in 2023, signing a one-year deal at the time. He then re-signed another one-year contract in 2024.

According to ESPN's Adam Schefter, the wide receiver's latest deal with the Houston Texans is believed to be with $2 million. The deal cannot become official until the start of the league year on Wednesday, March 12 at 4 p.m. ET.

Braxton's 2024-2025 season with the Dolphins was cut short after tearing his ACL during a game against the Indianapolis Colts on Oct. 20. At the time, he wrote on Instagram that he was "heartbroken" his "season is over."

Earle and Braxton made their red carpet debut at the 2023 ESPY Awards and maintained that they were "not exclusive" at the time. The TikTok star finally confirmed her relationship with Berrios in November 2023.

Earle has been by his side throughout his recovery process, and he's been supporting her throughout her various media endeavors at the same time.

Most recently, the content creator announced her involvement in a brand campaign from SipMARGS, a $3 million investment led by Palm Tree Crew and Earle as the largest single investor. Berrios is among the notable names of backers.

Braxton's move to Houston and Earle's new business venture are just a few significant updates in their respective careers, the latter of which happened shortly after news the media personality's Hot Mess podcast was dropped by Alex Cooper's Unwell Network.

On Feb. 25, Variety reported the company has renounced all rights to Hot Mess and said SiriusXM will no longer sell ads for the show.

In a TikTok posted on Feb. 28, Earle revealed that her week had been “meh.” She then seemingly addressed the news about her podcast, saying, "Obviously, there's been a lot of chatter online this week about me and work. And I also have no idea what's going on."

No further comment has been made by Earle on the matter since.
