Social media star Alix Earle’s boyfriend, NFL wide receiver Braxton Berrios, has once again become the topic of discussion as they celebrate their second anniversary this November.
Here’s who he is and what his relationship is:
Who is Braxton Berrios?
Braxton Berrios was born in Raleigh, North Carolina and began his football career at Leesville Road High School and played collegiate football at the University of Miami. He was selected by the New England Patriots in the sixth round of the 2018 NFL Draft.
Berrios has played for the Patriots, then the New York Jets, and later the Miami Dolphins during his professional years. He signed a one-year contract with the Houston Texans for the 2025 season. Berrios serves primarily as a slot-wide receiver and return specialist and stands at 5 feet 9 inches and 185 pounds.
Braxton is known for his speed, agility, and special-teams contributions as a receiver and on rushing plays or punt/kick returns. His diverse skill set makes him a valuable asset to any offense, and is especially important for the Texans as they look to rebuild and deepen their receiving corps.
Currently, Brios has played in 87 games with 6 starts with the Jets (2019-22) and Dolphins (2023-24) and has recorded 134 receptions for 1,323 yards (9.9 avg.) and six touchdowns.
