Weeks After Crying Over Braxton Berrios on Camera, Alix Earle Was Spotted at Dinner with Benson Boone

By

For six months, Alix Earle has cried on camera about her breakup from NFL player Braxton Berrios. On June 19, she was photographed leaving dinner with singer Benson Boone at Craig’s in West Hollywood.

Alix and Braxton split in December 2025 after roughly two years together. She announced it in a tearful TikTok, blaming the long distance that started in June and saying they were “on two different paths.” She defended him hard: “It’s not because he did anything wrong or I did anything wrong.”

The months after were a public spiral. A January late-night crying TikTok where she talked to the camera “like you’re my boyfriend.” February posts about learning that being sad doesn’t mean you made the wrong call. An April first date she bailed on early, convinced the guy was kidnapping her on the PCH. A May night out in Miami where she ran into Braxton, joked around with him, then went home and cried to her dog over a Taylor Swift song.

Then came the “I’m back” video in May and a viral yacht TikTok of her lip-syncing to Benson Boone’s unreleased song “The Time of My Life.” Benson recreated the clip himself, dress and all, and tagged her. She’s reportedly starring in the official music video, which drops June 26.
