Alix Earle is waltzing forward.
Weeks after she and Braxton Berrios called it quits after two years of dating, the former Dancing with the Stars contestant proved they’re still on good terms.
On Dec. 23, Alix, 25, liked the NFL player’s Instagram post about his partnership with nonprofit organization PetSet, where he helped them move “over 30 dogs from Houston to Minnesota that were likely to end up on the euthanasia list.”
The former couple—who started dating in 2023—fostered several dogs together, including their Pitbull mix Asia that Alix is currently caring for.
Though many fans applauded Braxton, 30, for his heartwarming gesture, others couldn’t help but notice Alix’s reaction to the post. In fact, one commenter pointed out the TikToker “liked this within three minutes of it being posted.”
Another user also noticed the interaction and wrote, “I hope they get back together.”
Despite fans’ hopes for a romantic reunion, Alix confirmed she and the Houston Texas wide receiver amicably decided to end their relationship earlier this month.
“Braxton and I are no longer together,” she tearfully told fans in a Dec. 13 TikTok video. “We have been doing long distance since, basically, June and we haven’t gotten to see each other that often. It’s just been really difficult for me.”
Leading up to their split, Alix relocated to Los Angeles to compete on DWTS’ 34th season while Braxton traveled to complete his NFL season. And while these opportunities allowed them to hit new milestones in their careers, they couldn’t ignore how their time apart put a strain on their communication.
“I think that was a scary thing for me to realize because it meant us not being in the same place,” she reflected. “A part of me also really wants to be focusing on myself right now. 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.”
Even though the former couple decided to part ways, Alix will always have a soft spot for Braxton.
“I love Braxton. He’s my best friend, you know?” she admitted. “So it’s been really difficult as we’re trying to go forward with this. It just kinda feels like we’re on two different paths right now and it sucks. We’re on good terms and I don’t want anyone to come for him or to be mean to him.”
