Alix Earle just made a deeply personal confession about relationships. This comes at a time when her fans are still coming to terms with her quiet breakup from NFL player Braxton Berrios. The 25-year-old social media star opened up with a raw vulnerability that feels both relatable and unfiltered.
Trust Was Never the Problem with Berrios
Earle chose to center her words on trust, security, and the private emotional decisions people make. She did this during the very first episode of her new interview series called Get Real With Me. Sitting with her close friend Jake Shane, Earle faced uncomfortable truths head-on.
The conversation provided a revealing look at how trust functioned in one of her most public relationships. This was not about creating gossip. It was about understanding the dynamics that lasted even after the relationship ended.
A Telling Admission During a Game
During a lighthearted segment, Earle admitted to a common behavior. She confessed that she has snooped through the phones of past partners. She did not try to soften this admission.
"Of course, everyone's," Alix told Jake Shane in the episode that debuted on January 15. "Except I've never gone through Braxton's phone. I think every other boyfriend. Phones, laptops."
She emphasized that skipping Berrios' phone was a deliberate choice. "I never went through his phone," she explained. "Because I trusted him." This statement highlights a foundation of trust that apparently remained intact.
The Backdrop of a Recent Breakup
This candid discussion arrives just weeks after the couple confirmed they had parted ways. In December, Earle addressed her followers directly on TikTok, opting for honesty instead of silence.
She appeared emotional in a video posted on December 13. "Braxton and I are no longer together," she told her fans. She cited the challenges of a long-distance relationship that had been ongoing since June as a significant difficulty.
Despite the split, there has been no public display of animosity. In fact, days later, Earle quietly liked one of Berrios' Instagram posts supporting a nonprofit called PetSet. Observant fans quickly noticed this small, supportive action. Since then, both individuals have maintained a mostly silent public stance, letting their actions speak for them.
Turning the Lens Inward: A Hurdle Named Commitment
Earle also turned the focus onto herself during the interview. She admitted that her biggest personal challenge is not fear of betrayal, but rather a struggle with commitment itself.
"My commitment issues," Alix told Jake. "I just feel like committing to anything. Like I change my mind every other day."
This confession reframes the narrative around her breakup. It shifts the perspective from being merely an ending to being a potential moment of personal growth and self-awareness. The story is not about perfection. It is about reality.
