Alix Earle and Braxton Berrios are officially a couple!
The model joined Alex Cooper in a surprise appearance on the live taping Call her dad podcast in Chicago, during which she confirmed that she has a new boyfriend.
The social media influencer, 22, has been seen with the Miami Dolphins wide receiver since May. However, it wasn’t until Sunday that Earle confirmed to Cooper, 29, that she and Berrios, 28, were together.

“We have to ask the question and get to tea, right here! Alix, do you have a boyfriend?” Cooper asked Earle.
The audience then erupted with applause and fervently shouted “Yes!” before Earle could answer. The influencer took a few seconds to respond.
“I think…yeah,” Earl said as the crowd cheered again.
After the couple’s first public appearance in May, Berrios attended the University of Miami’s recent graduation ceremony that same month.
During the summer, Earle would then post her “Get Ready With Me (GRWM)” TikToks before dates or weekends, prompting followers to ask if she had a boyfriend or not. She said in June that she doesn’t have a boyfriend and that the two are “not even ‘dating’.”
In July, the couple made their red carpet debut at the 2023 ESPY Awards, where they walked hand-in-hand. Afterward, a source told PEOPLE at the time, “They weren’t exclusive or official.”

The two began seeing each other after Berrios’ relationship with Sophia Culpo ended. In April, Berrios’ ex-girlfriend shared in a Q&A session on Instagram that the “betrayal” in her last relationship had “taken a toll” on her.
Following Culp’s comments, the wide receiver explained in a June Instagram Story that their split came about because “toward the end” things “didn’t go our way.” He clarified: “It had nothing to do with anyone else for that matter.”
The next day, Culpo accused Berrios of cheating on her, in a now-deleted TikTok.

In September Earle appeared on Call her dad to set the record straight about her relationship after Cooper asked about the cheating rumors associated with Culp.
“People called you a lover, some people called you a home wrecker, about the NFL player you were in a relationship with,” Cooper said. “Can you confirm: Did you make out with him while he was in a relationship?”
“It’s so encouraging to hear you say that,” Earle replied before clarifying, “No. They were not together.” Earle added that she was “reading these comments” about her and Berrios and “rolling her eyes at my friends.”
Earlier this month, Earle traveled to Germany to support Berrios and the Dolphins, who played the Kansas City Chiefs in Frankfurt. She shared several photos from the experience on Instagram, including one of the two smiling from the sidelines before kick-off.
