Alix Earle is getting acquainted.
The influencer, 24, shared an update on her Texas plans ahead of her boyfriend Braxton Berrios' NFL season with the Houston Texans with PEOPLE exclusively at the 2025 Sports Illustrated Swimsuit launch party red carpet on Thursday, May 15, at The Hard Rock Hotel in New York City.
To no surprise, Earle — who rose to fame on social media for her "Get Ready with Me" videos on TikTok — is already prepping her WAG wardrobe to sport spirited looks in support of the athlete. Berrios, 29, agreed to a one-year deal with the Houston Texans on March 10, after two seasons with the Miami Dolphins.
"I just recently got a pair of red cowboy boots because I was like, 'We have to wear this for a game', " Earle, who returned for another SI Swim issue this year, told PEOPLE.

In addition to outfits, the social media star said she's "starting to get to know the area a little bit more," now that she'll be supporting Braxton in a city that's unfamiliar to her, after attending college in Miami.
"Date night spots are really important for Braxton and I — so finding our spots there, our restaurants, finding a coffee spot there was really important," she shared.
The 2025 NFL season doesn't officially kick off until September, so Earle is planning on maximizing the time she has from now until then to ready herself before the season begins.
"Throughout the summer, I'm going to go shopping," she said. "Get some more cowboy hats and cowboy boots, and some red and blue!"

Although Earle will be spending more time in Houston, she previously made it clear that she won't be moving there for good. She set the record straight in response to a commenter on TikTok who asked if she'd be leaving Miami following Braxton's relocation.
"I was so sad, I thought you were going to move out of Miami,” a TikTok user wrote. Earle replied, "NEVER."

The support Earle shows Berrios is reciprocated, which the SI Swim star gushed to PEOPLE about at the launch party red carpet on May 15.
"He knows I have to travel and can't be with him all the time and he's so supportive of that," the influencer said of the NFL player. "I feel like that's kind of hard to find in a guy sometimes, because sometimes they're a little insecure and they're like, 'Don't do this, don't do that'. "
Of Berrios, Earle made it clear, "But he's like, 'Sexy bikini photos! I love it! You go!' He's the best."
