Alix Earle, 22, CONFIRMS she is dating football star Braxton Berrios of the Miami Dolphins as she shares kissing photo to mark his 28th birthday: ‘HBD NFL man’

Alix Earl has confirmed on Instagram that she is dating Miami Dolphins football star Braxton Berrios.

It was rumored for a long time that she was dating an athlete.

The model, 22, shared a very intimate picture with Berrios.

The TikTok sensation was seen kissing the star by the beach as she wished him a happy 28th birthday: ‘hbd nfl man.’

Braxton wore a blue, green and white striped swimsuit in the video. He held model Alix in his arms as she wrapped her legs around his waist while wearing a black and white string bikini.

The influencer’s long, blonde hair was tied in a low ponytail.

“Huge fan of this,” Braxton wrote of the birthday wish before Alix took down the comments on the post.

While the relationship didn’t get nearly the attention that Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce’s budding romance has, it seemed like many in attendance at Miami’s win against the New York Giants were there to see the South Florida girl.

“Here’s to @miamidolphins and @alik earle,” one fan wrote, sharing a photo of Alix on the big screen at Hard Rock Stadium.

Another captured him giving Braxton a victory kiss at the end of the match writing, ‘Real win of the day!!!’

Although she and the North Carolina native attended ESPI together in July, he and Alix remained coy about their status.

Whenever she posted photos with her beau, she would make sure that his face was not shown and only referred to her as ‘sexy NFL man’.

Braxton was just as sneaky about making it official, hiding Alix’s face from view in his posts.
