Alix Earle is addressing speculation that New York Giants rookie Jaxson Dart slid into her DMs following her split from Braxton Berrios.
“What is this fake photoshopped DM u guys are posting,” Earle, 24, wrote via TikTok on Sunday, December 7. “1. That never happened. 2. That wouldn’t be on my story.”
Hours after news broke of Earle’s separation from Berrios, 30, a screenshot from the influencer’s alleged close friend’s Instagram Story went viral. In the alleged message, the official Instagram account for Dart, 22, wrote, “Hey u single now ?”
“It hasn’t even been 12 hours,” the alleged text from Earle read over the screenshot.
Multiple sources exclusively confirmed to Us Weekly on Saturday, December 6, that Earle and the Houston Texans athlete called it quits after two years together.
“Majority of their relationship was long-distance and it was hard for them to navigate,” one insider told Us. “They mutually agreed on the split.”
Reps for Earle could not be reached for comment.
The influencer was first spotted with Berrios in May 2023 after his split from Sophia Culpo, who accused him of infidelity. Berrios denied the allegations.
Earle, for her part, alleged on the “Call Her Daddy” podcast later that year that Berrios and Culpo, 28, “were not together” when the pair began a casual romance. Earle also recalled “bawling” her “eyes out” to her friends when reading comments about the cheating rumors.
In November 2023, Earle confirmed that she and Berrios had made their relationship official when she joined Alex Cooper for a live taping of the “Call Her Daddy” podcast in Chicago. When Cooper, 31, asked Earle whether she had a boyfriend, Earle replied, “I mean, yes.”
While Earle had been spotted at several NFL games cheering on Berrios, he was absent from the Dancing With the Stars ballroom as she competed with partner Val Chmerkovskiy for the Len Goodman Mirrorball Trophy. Earle, however, gushed that Berrios had been her rock from afar.
“Braxton has been so supportive, but I didn’t show him the routine or anything,” Earle told Us after the premiere in September. “I wanted to keep it a surprise. I told him he was gonna have to tune in and see. I haven’t gotten the chance to talk to him yet just because we’ve been running around after the show. I’m excited to call him and see what he thinks.”
While he couldn’t be at DWTS in-person because of his football commitments, Berrios asked his followers to vote for Earle ahead of the season 34 finale. (Earle and Chmerkovskiy, 39, ultimately finished in second place behind winners Robert Irwin and Witney Carson.)
“Finale tonight!! So proud of you and the way you’ve worked for this the last 3 months,” he wrote via his Instagram Story. “Go have fun and bring that Mirrorball Trophy home!”
Berrios also sent a pre-recorded message to Earle during the broadcast, saying, “I’ve watched you pour everything into this since the moment it has started, and I think it shows. Good luck. Have fun, babe.”
