Alix Earle shut down rumors that she and Braxton Berrios split after he missed the “Dancing With the Stars” Season 34 finale last week.
Over the weekend, the influencer took to TikTok to share a “Get Ready With Me” video where she gave a “post-‘DWTS’ debrief” on the dancing competition’s final episode.
In the comments section of the post, a fan wrote, “Ugh I hope u and Braxton are still together,” to which Earle, 24, replied, “He couldn’t come bc of football :(.”
Berrios, who plays for the Houston Texans, had a home game against the Buffalo Bills on Nov. 20 and then an away game versus the Indianapolis Colts on Sunday.
The live three-hour finale of “DWTS” was filmed on Nov. 25 in Los Angeles.
Though the wide receiver, 30, could not attend, he did offer his girlfriend words of encouragement in a pre-recorded video aired during the Nov. 25 season finale.
“I’ve watched you pour everything into this since the moment it has started, and I think it shows,” Berrios said in the clip.
“Good luck. Have fun, babe,” he added.
Earle ultimately lost the Len Goodman Mirrorball Trophy to Robert Irwin and his partner, Witney Carson.
However, the podcaster was thankful for the close bond she and her dancing partner, Val Chmerkovskiy, formed over the course of the season.
“Being able to dance every day has been so amazing, so fulfilling and therapeutic, and then having such a good best friend along the way, who constantly uplifts me and supports me every day, is just so nice,” she told E! News after the live finale.
Berrios and Earle were first romantically linked in May 2023 after he called it quits with ex Sophia Culpo a few months before.
The pair hard-launched their romance in October 2023, in honor of the NFL star’s 28th birthday.
In a PDA-packed Instagram post, a bikini-clad construction company heiress and the shirtless ex-Miami Dolphins player made out on the beach.
Berrios showed off his muscular arms as he held up Earle, whose legs and arms were wrapped around his body.
“hbd nfl man 🥳,” she captioned the post.
