Alix Earle has spoken of her 'weird run-in' with ex-boyfriend Braxton Berrios at Palm Tree Music Festival in Aspen this past week - seeing him for the first time since their break-up.
Earle posted one of her 'get ready with me' videos to her TikTok page and spoke about seeing Berrios twice, not speaking to him the first night before saying hello the following as they spoke in person for the first-time since they ended their relationship. The model had moved to Los Angeles last year while Berrios lived in Miami and Houston, after signing with the Texans, with their long-distance said to have been a big factor in the decision to break-up after two years together.

The Instagram and TikTok star was seen with Berrios' former teammate Tom Brady just a few weeks after the break-up while looking cozy together in St. Barts with rumors that the two have continued to see each other.

Earle has not spoken on any potential new romances, but did open up on seeing Berrios while admitting it had been difficult.
She said: "I know a lot of you guys keep asking me, but yes, I did see my ex this weekend for the first time since October.
"It was honestly just really hard for me - really weird, really hard. I was really emotional. The first night we were like in the same place but we didn’t say hi to each other, just because I didn’t want to go up and annoy him, I don’t know, but I could see him out the corner of my eye.

"We briefly said hi to each other on the second night... It’s weird when you go from someone being like your best friend to being a stranger in the corner of the room.
"So that was tough, and by tough I mean terrible."
When confirming the break-up with Berrios back in December, she had said: "I wanted to give you guys an update on my life. I know I'm gonna be speaking for the both of us, and it's just been really hard to process in general.

"We have been doing long distance since basically June, and we haven't gotten to see each other that often. [It's] just been really difficult for me and I think it was really difficult when I was out in LA and I really liked it, and I thought that, you know, maybe I wanted to stay there."

She added that she felt she 'cannot be what he needs' and will always have 'love' for Berrios while naming him her best friend.
