Braxton Berrios, 30, has reportedly unfollowed his ex-girlfriend, Alix Earle, 25, on Instagram. This action comes shortly after Earle was seen getting close to NFL star Tom Brady, 48, during a New Year’s Eve celebration in St. Barts. The timing of Berrios’s social media change has led fans to speculate about the implications of this development.
On January 9, 2026, observers noticed that Berrios no longer follows Earle, who was previously his only follow on the platform. He is now not following anyone at all. The unfollowing occurred just over a week after Earle and Brady were spotted together at a nightclub on December 31, where they appeared to share a flirty connection.
A video published by TMZ showed Earle leaning in close to Brady, whispering in his ear, and playfully rubbing his back. According to an exclusive source for Us Weekly, “Alix and Tom were together the entire night on New Year’s Eve at a party hosted by Palm Tree Crew.” The insider noted that the two had an “instant connection” and showcased a strong chemistry throughout the evening.
Earle, who is navigating life after her breakup with Berrios, is reportedly not looking for anything serious at this time. The source added, “It’s nothing serious between her and Tom, but they were together laughing, dancing and partying, enjoying themselves.” Following her split, Earle is embracing a more carefree lifestyle, focusing on new experiences and enjoying her time away.
While Brady initially had reservations about being publicly seen with Earle, the source mentioned that he did not want to leave her side all night. The dynamics of their evening together have drawn significant attention, particularly in light of Earle’s recent breakup.
Berrios and Earle ended their relationship in December 2025 after dating for two years, primarily managing a long-distance arrangement. According to another source, “The majority of their relationship was long-distance and it was hard for them to navigate. They mutually agreed on the split.”
In a heartfelt TikTok video following their breakup, Earle expressed her feelings about the end of their relationship. “Braxton and I are no longer together,” she stated. “We have been doing long distance since, basically, June, and we haven’t got to see each other that often. It’s just been really difficult for me.”
Earle reflected on her time on *Dancing With the Stars*, which prompted her motivation to move to Los Angeles and created additional challenges in their relationship. “I think that was a scary thing for me because it meant us not being in the same place. A part of me also really wants to be focusing on myself right now,” she explained.
She concluded her emotional address by acknowledging her feelings of guilt about not being able to meet Berrios’s needs. “It just kinda feels like we’re on two different paths right now and it sucks,” she said, noting that they remain on good terms.
As both Earle and Berrios navigate their new paths, the media spotlight continues to focus on their evolving relationships and social media interactions, particularly in light of Earle’s recent encounter with Brady.
