Alix Earle says she and ex-boyfriend Braxton Berrios are on good terms following their viral F1 party encounter.
Alix Earle has cleared up speculation surrounding her unexpected public interaction with former boyfriend Braxton Berrios, confirming that the two are on “good terms” following their breakup.
The influencer and NFL wide receiver attracted attention after a video showed them sharing a friendly conversation at a pre-Miami Grand Prix event. Because it was one of their first public interactions since their relationship ended, the brief exchange quickly became a talking point across social media.
Rather than allowing viewers to interpret the encounter without context, Earle addressed what she jokingly described as the “elephant in the room” in a TikTok video posted shortly after the party. She explained why she approached Berrios and how their conversation unfolded.
Alix Earle and Braxton Berrios Cross Paths in Miami
Earle, 25, and Berrios, 30, encountered each other on April 30 at the Sports Illustrated and Authentic Brands Group Race Weekend Kickoff party. The event was held at The Surf Club Restaurant in Miami during celebrations surrounding the Formula 1 Miami Grand Prix.
Footage shared from the event showed the former couple speaking in the middle of a busy crowd. Berrios greeted Earle with a hug and a kiss on the cheek before they continued talking briefly.
The interaction appeared relaxed and cordial, but its significance was amplified by the couple’s history. Earle and Berrios had not been seen publicly interacting since reports of their breakup emerged in December 2025.
The clarity of the video also became part of the online conversation. Viewers remarked on how effectively the person recording the encounter had captured it despite the crowded setting.
Earle later joked about the camera angle while discussing the weekend on TikTok. Her reaction suggested that she was also surprised by how closely the brief conversation had been documented.
Why Alix Earle Decided to Approach Her Ex
In a TikTok posted on May 2, Earle explained that she arrived at the Surf Club event with a group of friends and was quickly informed that Berrios was already there.
Instead of spending the evening trying to avoid him, she decided that approaching him directly would make the situation less uncomfortable.
Earle said she did not want to remain nearby while allowing the awkwardness to build. She therefore chose to greet him and move beyond the uncertainty of seeing an ex at the same party.
Her explanation presented the interaction as a practical decision rather than evidence of a romantic reconciliation.
The influencer also emphasized that she and Berrios were on friendly terms. By addressing the footage herself, she offered viewers a straightforward account of a moment that might otherwise have generated more speculation.
Nothing in her comments indicated that the former couple had resumed their relationship.
The Viral Video Did Not Signal a Reunion
Short social-media clips often invite multiple interpretations, particularly when they involve former celebrity couples. A hug, a private conversation or a friendly gesture can quickly lead viewers to assume that a relationship is being revived.
In this case, Earle’s comments provided a more restrained explanation. The pair happened to attend the same major event, and she chose to acknowledge Berrios rather than avoid him.
Their body language in the video appeared friendly, but a cordial exchange does not necessarily point to a renewed romance.
Earle’s decision to discuss the moment may have helped distinguish between being on civil terms with an ex and actively getting back together. She characterized the interaction as pleasant without suggesting that anything had changed about their relationship status.
Neither Earle nor Berrios announced a reconciliation following the Miami encounter.
Both Attended Events During F1 Weekend
The Surf Club party was not the only Formula 1-related gathering attended by the former couple that weekend.
Earle and Berrios were also seen separately at the Amex x Carbone Beach event on May 1. Their appearances reflected the number of celebrity, fashion and sports events organized around the Miami Grand Prix.
The weekend regularly attracts athletes, entertainers, influencers and business figures, making it possible for people within overlapping social circles to appear at the same venues.
Berrios’ career in professional football and Earle’s prominent online profile also place them within many of the same sports and entertainment environments. As a result, occasional encounters may be difficult to avoid even after a breakup.
The Miami footage became particularly notable because it gave the public its first clear look at how they interacted following the end of their relationship.
Alix Earle Previously Discussed Seeing Berrios in Aspen
Although the Miami video marked their first widely circulated post-breakup interaction, it was not the first time Earle and Berrios had been in the same place since separating.
In February 2026, they both attended events connected to the Palm Tree Music Festival in Aspen, Colorado. They were also linked to a pre-party at Kemo Sabe hosted by SipMARGS, a beverage company in which they are both investors.
Earle later spoke about that experience in a February 25 TikTok. She said she initially found it emotional and difficult to be in the same setting as someone who had once been an important part of her daily life.
She recalled that they did not immediately greet one another during the first evening. At another event, however, the two reportedly spoke for a short time.
Her account highlighted the emotional adjustment that can follow the end of a long-term relationship. Going from regular communication to encountering one another at public events can create an uncomfortable transition, even when both people are trying to remain respectful.
Compared with her description of the Aspen weekend, Earle appeared considerably more comfortable discussing the Miami meeting.
A Look Back at Their Relationship
Earle and Berrios reportedly met at a party around February 2023. At the time, Berrios was playing for the Miami Dolphins.
Their connection gradually became public as they appeared together at events and in social-media content. In July 2023, they attended the ESPY Awards together, an appearance widely viewed as their red-carpet debut as a couple.
Over the following two years, their relationship became familiar to Earle’s audience. Berrios appeared in parts of her online life, while Earle attended sporting and entertainment events with him.
Their relationship ended in December 2025, according to reports cited by PEOPLE. Neither the Miami interaction nor Earle’s subsequent explanation changed the status of that breakup. PEOPLE
Earle has spoken publicly about some of the emotions she experienced after the split, including adjusting to being alone and losing the everyday companionship associated with a serious relationship.
Those previous comments helped explain why her relaxed exchange with Berrios in Miami drew such an enthusiastic response from viewers.
Why the Moment Attracted So Much Attention
Earle has built a large audience by sharing personal stories, beauty routines, travel experiences and candid updates about her life. That openness often makes followers feel closely connected to developments in her relationships.
Consequently, even a short video showing her speaking with Berrios was likely to generate questions.
The clip also arrived several months after the breakup, when viewers had limited information about the former couple’s current relationship. Seeing them interact warmly offered a new piece of an ongoing story that many followers had watched unfold online.
However, Earle’s explanation was more about reducing awkwardness than creating romantic suspense. She presented the encounter as an example of two former partners acknowledging each other respectfully in a shared social setting.
Her comments also demonstrated how quickly an ordinary personal interaction can become public when it involves recognizable figures at a heavily photographed celebrity event.
Earle Takes Control of the Conversation
By discussing the video on her own TikTok account, Earle was able to provide context without relying on anonymous speculation.
She did not deny that the encounter happened or attempt to portray it as something dramatic. Instead, she explained that she knew Berrios was at the event, decided to greet him and had a positive interaction.
That direct approach matched the conversational style through which she has built her online following. It also prevented the footage from becoming the sole source of information about the encounter.
The discussion was lighthearted, particularly when Earle commented on the unusually clear angle from which the conversation had been recorded.
At the same time, her central message was unambiguous: she and Berrios are no longer together, but they are capable of being friendly when they cross paths.
Where Alix Earle and Braxton Berrios Stand Now
For now, the Miami F1 party encounter appears to be exactly what Earle described—a civil conversation between former partners who are on good terms.
The hug and cheek kiss captured in the viral footage showed familiarity, but neither person has publicly characterized the moment as a romantic reunion.
Earle’s comments suggest that the former couple has moved from the more emotionally difficult stage she described after their breakup toward a less uncomfortable relationship.
Whether they continue to appear at the same events remains to be seen. Their shared connections to sports, entertainment and business make future encounters possible.
Still, the latest interaction should not be treated as confirmation that they are dating again. Based on Earle’s own explanation, it was simply a friendly greeting that received far more online attention than either of them may have expected.
