Alix Earle Reveals How Often She and Boyfriend Braxton Berrios Talk About Their Future (Exclusive)

Next steps are top of mind for Alix Earle and boyfriend Braxton Berrios.

“We always talk about our future,” Earle, 24, told Us Weekly exclusively while promoting her new Carl’s Jr. campaign. “Right now, we’re so focused on our careers that we live in the moment and don’t rush into anything. I think that’s the cool thing about being with Braxton, [he] is not scared of any type of future.”

Earle and Berrios, 29, sparked romance rumors in summer 2023, but they didn’t make their relationship official until November of that year. Questions about their future started to rise ahead of the hours-long TikTok ban earlier this year.

“If you guys don’t follow me on IG you’re never going to see when I get engaged,” Earle joked in a video posted on January 17. While the video had fans excited for Earle, she told Us that there really is no rush.

“I think we are just kind of letting each other live right now, and we’ll see where we end up,” the influencer explained.

Earle’s relationship with Berrios — who’s a wide receiver for the Miami Dolphins — has allowed her to contribute to a new era of the NFL, where the wives and girlfriends are making it cool to be football fans.

“When I started dating Braxton, I really just started posting a lot of content around going to football games. Especially around fashion at football games and vlogging our days there,” she explained to Us. “It just brought even more awareness, and I think there’s been so many wives and girlfriends of players that have come forward and either come out with merchandise with the NFL or just being there and showing their support.”

Earle said it’s “been really cool to see” this evolution within the NFL.

“It’s hopefully gotten a few more girls tuned into the sport, and, I mean, I love it,” she added. “It’s been fun to bring my audience along on that journey.”

It’s no surprise that Earle will attend Super Bowl LIX (rooting for the Chiefs) in New Orleans on Sunday, February 9. However, she’s more focused on the morning after the Big Game — thanks to her partnership with Carl’s Jr. for the new Hangover Burger.

“Super Bowl weekend’s always fun. It’s a lot of parties and a lot of meeting new people and mingling,” Earle told Us. “I’m sure Monday morning I’m going to be waking up craving the burger. It’s exciting, everyone can get a free burger. I’m excited for everyone to try it out because the Hangover Burger is 12 out of 10 delicious, and I’m definitely going to be needing it.”

Not only did Earle partner with the restaurant chain for the launch of their new burger, but they are giving away free Hangover Burgers at participating locations on Monday, February 10, to any My Rewards members.

“It is greasy, delicious, everything I need. It’s also the perfect mix of just breakfast slash burger,” she gushed. “It’s everything I would ever want and crave when I am not feeling my best.”

Of course, Earle also filmed her own Carl’s Jr. commercial which brought together her brand (yes, “Hot Mess” is mentioned) and the iconic ads of the brand’s past.

“It’s a perfect mix of blending my brand with Carl’s Jr’s brand. I think it’s very bold and authentic,” she told Us of the commercial. “It nods to the old campaigns in a fun way. We have a sexy styling going on but with a modern twist. Unfortunately, being hungover sometimes is a big part of my brand. I think that goes hand in hand, and it’s an amazing burger that I am craving every time I’m hungover now.”
