Braxton Berrios has earned himself a decent-sized fanbase over his career in the NFL -- and his girlfriend, Alix Earle, has a pretty sizable following, too!

The Houston Texans wide receiver's been linked to the influencer since 2023, when eagle-eyed fans shared videos of them out together on TikTok ... and they went public with their romance the same year.

We're going to take a look at the personal and professional lives of the social media powerhouse and see how she ended up with the athlete.

Alix was born and raised in New Jersey to a pair of parents who both attended Lynn University in Florida.

The influencer's parents split up at an early age, and her father later married Ashley Dupré -- who had already become a household name about 20 years earlier when she was involved in a prostitution scandal centered around former New York governor Eliot Spitzer.

Alix's mother and her stepmother eventually grew close, and Alix told Elle she was happy to be a member of what she described as a "very modern" family in 2023.

The social media star followed in her parents' footsteps and headed to Florida for college, where she attended the University of Miami and graduated with a marketing degree in 2023.

Alix kicked off her social media career during her freshman year of college, when she began sharing videos on her TikTok account.

Her popularity on the platform received a serious boost in 2022, when she documented her struggle with acne in several videos shared on her account.

She later gained extra exposure for her widely followed "Get ready with me" videos, in which she shows off her outfits and makeup routines.

Alix currently has 7.5 million followers on her TikTok account, as well as 4.5 million on Instagram, and she was included on the Time100 Creators 2025 list, which ranks the most influential digital content creators in the world.

Social media isn't Alix's only focus ... she's embarked on a career as a podcast host over the past few years.

Alix started the "Hot Mess With Alix Earle" podcast in 2023, and she formerly worked with podcasting star Alex Cooper -- although the show was dropped by Cooper's Unwell Network in 2025.

The show exploded in popularity upon its debut, and it briefly beat "The Joe Rogan Experience" on Spotify's podcast chart.

Oh, and she's going to be heading to TV, too, because she's set to compete on the 34th season of ABC's "Dancing With The Stars."

Alix and Braxton were first spotted together back in 2023, when a video showing them meeting a fan at a restaurant in Miami began circulating on TikTok.

It's worth mentioning Braxton isn't the first athlete the influencer has dated in the past, as she was linked to professional baseball player Tyler Wade for a few months in 2022.

She eventually moved on with Berrios, and they made their red carpet debut at the 2023 ESPY Awards ceremony.

One of Graham Greene's dying wishes was to get in contact with Kevin Costner -- but he was unable to, TMZ has learned.

The lovebirds were so wrapped up in each other, they seemed to forget the rest of the world existed. After cozying up at the bar, they attempted to hop a water taxi back to their hotel, but we're told they hit a hilarious snag when they realized the boat didn't take Venmo.

No PDA between the pair here ... but, they're clearly comfortable spending time with one another -- though video circulating online shows they put some distance between one another during Ashlee's actual performance.

5:35 PM PT -- Jessica Simpson and Eric Johnson have officially touched down in Las Vegas after they were spotted together on a flight earlier on Friday.

Nina Agdal's had a pretty wild ride through runways and fashion shoots over the course of her modeling career, and it looks like she's finally ready to settle down a bit ... because she finally got married to Logan Paul!

The fashion industry figure and the WWE star started a family prior to their wedding ceremony. Here's a look at how Nina navigated her way through the modeling industry before she welcomed a child with Paul.

Nina was born in Denmark, and she was raised in Hillerød, a small city located just north of the capital, Copenhagen.

She signed with a modeling agency in her teenage years and moved to Miami, Florida at the age of 18 to pursue her career.

The move ended up being a pretty solid decision as Nina's career took off, and she's been featured in campaigns for brands like Billabong and Victoria's Secret.

Nina's posed alongside Chrissy Teigen and Lily Aldridge on the cover of the 2014 Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Issue ... she's been featured in the Swimsuit Issue a total of six times.

Nina and Logan first met in 2022, and she later admitted in an interview with The Daily Front Row she was the one to make the first move, recalling her "gut was screaming that I had to say hi to him."

She said she had to convince him to join her for a drink with her friends, and said it "felt like I had known him for years" after they started joking around together.

The pair eventually started dating, and Logan made their relationship Instagram official in December 2022.

Nina didn't have to wait too long for their romance to go to the next level, because he proposed to her while they were on vacation in Italy the following July.

Nina and Logan revealed they were expecting a child in April 2024, when he shared several photos online. The model gave birth to their daughter Esme that September.

Nina and Logan eventually decided to tie the knot, and they held a wedding ceremony in Lake Como, Italy, in August 2025.

Carson Beck's earned lots of fans throughout his college football career ... although we don't think his ex-girlfriend Hanna Cavinder is on that list anymore.

The University of Miami quarterback and the social media star were linked throughout much of 2024 and the early part of 2025, but they ultimately went their separate ways ... and she had some choice words about him in an interview conducted after their split.

We're going to see how the TikTok personality rose to fame ... and why she decided to end things with the athlete.

Hanna's been playing basketball since her high school days, and she continued with the sport when she began attending California State University, Fresno in 2019.

And she wasn't alone when she started playing for the Bulldogs ... her twin sister Haley signed up to play alongside her the same year!

The twins remained with Fresno State until 2022, when they announced their intention to transfer schools, and they ended up at the University of Miami in Florida.

Hanna and her sister stayed with the Hurricanes all the way up to the end of the 2024-2025 season ... Hanna started in all of the team's 29 games.

Hanna's public profile began to rise after she started creating content for TikTok with Haley during the COVID-19 pandemic.

The pair's fame only grew after the NCAA started allowing student athletes to monetize their names, images, and likenesses in 2021, and they signed endorsement deals with companies like Boost Mobile and Under Armour, according to ESPN.

The sisters' popularity continued at Miami, and they ended up on the 2025 Forbes 30 Under 30 Sports list.

Speaking with ESPN, Hanna claimed her her sister's lives had "changed tremendously," and she described their newfound roles as influencers as "the most surreal job."

Hanna and Carson were first linked in July 2024, when she shared a now-deleted photo of him wearing his Georgia Bulldogs uniform on her Instagram account.

The quarterback confirmed he was dating the social media personality in an interview with ESPN the following month.

Carson wasn't camera-shy when he was dating Hanna, showing up in several of her social media posts over the length of their relationship.

The two had their cars stolen in February 2025 -- Beck's Mercedes and Lamborghini and Cavinder's Range Rover were taken as they slept ... two of the vehicles were eventually found, according to ESPN.

The thing is, Hanna and Carson's love story eventually came to an end -- and it wasn't a pretty breakup.

The influencer talked with Kai Trump -- Donald's granddaughter -- in April 2025, and when she was asked about the quarterback's personality, Hanna claimed her ex had "an ego" and said she was often "embarrassed" by his conduct, according to Fox Sports.

Hanna said she was aware of rumors of "cheating" on her ex's part, she didn't know about any infidelity.
