Tearful Alix Earle Breaks Silence on Braxton Berrios Breakup
Alix Earle had a new dance partner at this party.
Nearly one month after the former Dancing With the Stars contestant and Houston Texans wide receiver Braxton Berrios broke up, she celebrated New Year's Eve in Tom Brady's company.
Indeed, Alix grooved to music with the New England Patriots quarterback at an event in St. Barths Dec. 31, as seen in videos published by obtained by TMZ and People.
In one clip, the 25-year-old leaned in and whispered to Tom, 48—who split from ex-wife Gisele Bündchen in 2022 after 13 years of marriage—while rubbing his back. In another, the duo were all smiles as they bopped to the beat.
E! News has reached out to reps for Tom and Alix for comment, but has not yet heard back.
Ahead of the party, Alix shared insight into her New Year's plans while doing a bombshell blowout for the evening.
"I'm foreseeing really good vibes for tonight," she teased in her TikTok video. "We've been staying on a boat with a bunch of friends, but we're going to a party tonight that's gonna be on land. Calvin Harris is playing."
"The place we're going is on the beach," she continued. "I think my dress is a little too formal for what we're doing, and I think other people are wearing flats or platforms and I have literally eight-inch heels."
The influencer showed off her outfit on Instagram, which consisted of a form-fitting deep-plunge gown alongside her pals. She captioned the post, "2026 we have arrived."
While Alix is focusing on her future, she hasn't danced around her breakup from Braxton, either. In fact, she's been candid about why they ended things.
"Braxton and I are no longer together," she tearfully told fans in a 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."

And as Alix was in Los Angeles filming DWTS season 34—during which she placed second behind winner Robert Irwin—and Braxton was traveling for his NFL career, they couldn't ignore the ongoing strain on their relationship.
"A part of me also really wants to be focusing on myself right now," she explained. "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."
But she also emphasized that there's only love between the exes.
"I love Braxton. He's my best friend," she added. "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."
