The rumour mill is spinning furiously around model and influencer Alix Earle after her recent split from Houston Texans wide receiver Braxton Berrios. Adding fuel to the fire, fabricated screenshots have surfaced online purporting to show New York Giants rookie quarterback Jaxson Dart making a move on Earle just a day after news of the breakup emerged.
Earle, who recently starred in “Dancing With The Stars,” and Berrios had been together for just over two years. Reports indicate that the separation was a mutual decision, stemming from the challenges of a long-distance relationship. As one source mentioned, the distance “was hard for them to navigate.” The lack of public appearances together following the conclusion of “Dancing With The Stars” had already sparked speculation among fans.
Then came the alleged flirtatious message from Dart. The screenshot circulating on social media showed a message supposedly sent from Dart to Earle, reading: “hey, u single now?” Earle wasted no time in debunking the rumour, taking to TikTok to address the fake message. She stated emphatically, “What is this fake photoshopped dm u guys are posting? 1. That never happened. 2. That wouldn’t be on my story.” This swift denial effectively shut down the speculation.
Despite the breakup, Earle appeared to be in good spirits while attending NYLON House in Miami over the weekend. While she hasn’t directly addressed the split publicly, a source close to her revealed that Earle had been unhappy with the direction of the relationship. “Alix has not been happy with the direction their relationship is going in,” the source stated. The challenges of maintaining a relationship across different states seemed to be a significant factor. “They spend a lot of time apart and just spent Thanksgiving apart,” the source added, highlighting the geographical distance. Earle’s focus is now on her career in Los Angeles, including the upcoming “Dancing With The Stars” tour, while Berrios is based in Texas due to his football commitments.
The demanding schedules of both individuals presented a considerable hurdle. Berrios’ NFL commitments prevented him from attending any of Earle’s live performances on “Dancing With The Stars.” Earle had previously acknowledged the difficulties of their long-distance relationship on her blog. She had been spending considerable time in Miami, while Berrios’ career took him elsewhere after his former team, the Miami Dolphins, opted not to renew his contract. He subsequently signed a one-year, $2 million deal with the Texans in March. Despite the distance, they managed to celebrate Berrios’ birthday in October with a lavish party hosted by Earle during the Texans’ bye week.
While Dart appears to be uninvolved with Earle, he has been linked to another influencer: Marissa Ayers. Following a game against the New England Patriots earlier this month, Dart was seen chatting with his mother, Kara, on the sidelines. Notably, Ayers was also present, standing alongside the Dart family. Observers noted that Ayers, dressed in a large black puffer jacket, was seen smiling in Dart’s direction as he spoke with his mother. Prior to the game, Kara and Ayers were seen posing together in an Instagram post.
This sighting follows earlier reports suggesting that Dart and Ayers attended a Halloween party together. Keen-eyed fans have also noticed that Dart has been actively liking Ayers’ posts on social media, further fueling speculation about a potential romance. The rumours surrounding Dart and Ayers are gaining traction, with fans eagerly following any hints of a budding relationship.
The spotlight continues to shine on Jaxson Dart, both for his performance on the field and his potential off-field romances.
