Alix Earle got candid about an emotional encounter with ex-boyfriend Braxton Berrios months after their breakup, revealing the unexpected reunion left her in tears.
The influencer shared in a TikTok video that she recently crossed paths with the NFL wide receiver at a Miami event ahead of the 2026 Miami Grand Prix. Although the former couple initially appeared comfortable joking around together, Earle admitted the interaction later stirred up difficult emotions about their split.
According to Earle, the mood shifted after a mutual friend asked her to pose for a solo photo, prompting her to jokingly push Berrios aside. While the moment started off lighthearted, she said the reality of their breakup quickly hit her afterward.
The social media star explained that seeing her ex “for a second” felt normal and familiar, but realizing that chapter of their relationship was over became overwhelming. She later left the event early, saying she cried on the way home before comforting herself with her dog.
Earle and Berrios ended their relationship in December after more than two years together but have publicly maintained they remain on good terms. The former couple were reportedly seen sharing a friendly hug and conversation at the Miami party, which was also attended by celebrities including Kevin Hart and Shaun White.
The TikTok star previously described Berrios as her “best friend” while opening up about the breakup, explaining that the pair ultimately found themselves on different life paths despite still caring deeply for each other.#newsafro_
