Social media influencer Alix Earle recently came out to talk about that scary moment when she found out about her boyfriend Braxton Berrios’ injury. Berrios is the wide receiver for the Miami Dolphins and recently suffered an injury during a game that shocked Earle and the fans. She shared an emotional note on her Instagram and TikTok about the situation when her relationship became official at the start of the year.
The celebrity couple is already getting all the chatter online and is considered one of the talkative pairs. Earle’s fans, who frequently visit her for makeup how-tos and candid life updates, immediately worried about Earle herself when they heard that Berrios got hurt. Alix shared her intense worry right away in an Instagram story, saying, “It was such a scary moment. Helpless, just hoping he’d be alright.”
She admitted that she got word of the injury just minutes after it had happened and was sent into a whirling dervish of emotions. She said this lack of control over what was happening was particularly frightening for Earle, describing the feeling as “terrifying.” She admitted to not being used to dealing with such intense, real-time concerns over a loved one’s health and safety. Being usually known to share lighthearted moments with her followers, Earle said that this was very vulnerable for her, saying she wanted to share the experience just to let fans know what was going on.
The post by Earle had been an honest description of her feelings, something that really made her followers go wild in the form of messages that flooded in from all directions. “It’s not all glamorous,” one of her followers said, voicing what many other followers felt and appreciated after her heartfelt post.
No official word from Berrios, so his actual extent of injury remains unclear. Nonetheless, Earle reassured fans, “doing okay, keeping his head up while in the midst of rehabilitation”.
For Earle, the moment was a rude awakening to the uncertainty of life in the limelight and the challenges associated with supporting someone in such a physically demanding career. As she continues to update everyone, her community rallies around her, cheering both her and Berrios through the trying time.
