Social media star Alix Earle’s boyfriend, NFL wide receiver Braxton Berrios, has once again become a topic of conversation as they celebrate their 2nd anniversary this November.
Here’s a look at who he is and their relationship:
Who is Braxton Berrios?
Braxton Berrios was born in Raleigh, North Carolina and began his football career at Leesville Road High School and went on to play collegiate football at the University of Miami. He got selected in the 6th round of the 2018 NFL draft by the New England Patriots.
Berrios has played for the Patriots, then the New York Jets, and later the Miami Dolphins over the span of his professional years. He signed a one-year contract with the Houston Texans for the 2025 season. Berrios operates primarily as a slot-wide receiver and return specialist and stands at 5 ft 9 in and 185 lbs.
Braxton is known for his speed, agility and special-teams contributions as a receiver and in rushing plays, or in punt/kick returns. His diverse skill set makes him a valuable asset for any offense, and particularly important for the Texans as they look to rebuild and deepen their receiving corps.
Currently, Brrios 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.
