Alix Earle and Braxton Berrios are going strong after their relationship got off to a rocky start.
Before the pair went official, Berrios had been in a two-year relationship with Sophia Culpo, who implied that he cheated on her with Earle. The TikTok star and NFL player denied the rumors.
Earle later admitted that she expected her relationship with Berrios to be a fling because he was playing for the New York Jets when they met. One month later, he got traded to the Miami Dolphins, meaning the two would be living in the same city.
Throughout their relationship, Earle has cheered Berrios on during football games, enjoyed romantic dates and more.
