WATCH: Houston WR Braxton Berrios' GF Alix Earle lights up TikTok with behind-the-scenes DWTS dance routine

Alix Earle has added a very newsworthy accomplishment to her ever-growing profile soon: Dancing with the Stars contestant. And she has given her fans a look behind what she is doing.

On Friday, the social media influencer and girlfriend of Houston Texans wide receiver/return specialist Braxton Berrios uploaded on TikTok a video of herself rehearsing a routine with professional dancer Valentin Chmerkovskiy, her partner on Season 34 of the ABC competition show:

Speaking about Berrios' support in her new endeavor, Earle recently told PEOPLE:

"I called him on the way, just feeling nervous and unsure and uncertain. He assured me that feeling nervous is a privilege, and it's OK to be outside of your comfort zone. He always says this before every game."

In a separate exclusive interview with E!, she revealed how she has been struggling to handle the entire experience - not just the dancing itself, but even the intros as well - especially hers:

"I hate hearing myself talk. I didn't want to freak myself out. I plugged my ears right before, which probably made me look like a lunatic."

Even then, she vows to be the most competitive version of herself:

"It's been really fun and really different for me. Just starting from zero, it's been really cool to learn and challenge myself and go through all the emotions, good and bad."

Earle also revealed that Berrios would be returning to the field from "a little hamstring injury" when the Texans visit the Jacksonville Jaguars on Sunday. That game kicks off at 1 pm on CBS.

Alix Earle wanted first DWTS routine to be a "surprise" for Braxton Berrios

While many of Alex Earls's fans were understandably excited when she was announced as a DWTS contestant, she tried to keep one particular person in the dark about it: none other than Braxton Berrios. She recalled to Us Weekly that he "kept asking" her what her first routine would be, but she insisted that she wanted it to "surprise" him:

"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."

That routine turned out to be a performance of Britney Spears' 2008 hit "Circus". It garnered a score of 13/20, which "exceeded my expectations":

“I’m really, really happy. I’m just happy I didn’t go out there and completely blank on the dance and forget everything.”

New episodes of DWTS air every Tuesday at 8 pm ET. They can also be streamed on Disney+.
