Following her emotional split from Braxton Berrios, and the headlines that followed linking her to Tom Brady, Alix Earle is opening up about a late-night decision she now regrets. While appearing on “The Drew Barrymore Show” on March 4 to promote her skincare line, Reale Actives, the 25-year-old influencer was asked to share the last bad idea she had. Her answer came without hesitation.
Alix Earle Laughs Off 5 A.M. Text To Ex
“Oh, my gosh. Probably texting my ex at, like, five in the morning after going out,” Earle said with a laugh. “Not the best idea.”
Host Drew Barrymore quickly reassured her, calling the moment “so human.”
Earle went on to describe the moment in more detail, explaining that the text came after a night out and a few drinks. “I was looking with one eye at the phone,” she said, recalling the scene.
In an unexpected twist, her sister stepped in, not to stop her, but to help. “If you’re gonna send this, at least send it with it all spelled correctly,” her sister told her, helping proofread the message before she hit send.
At the time, Earle admitted she felt confident in the decision, even as she waited for her mac and cheese to heat up in the microwave. “I’m like, ‘This is so great,’” she joked.
Earle Says She Felt ‘Terrible’ After Texting Ex
That confidence didn’t last long. When Barrymore asked how she felt after sending the message, Earle’s response was immediate: “Oh, terrible.”
As for whether anything came of the text, the answer was just as blunt. “We haven’t talked since,” she revealed.
Earle did not specify which ex she was referring to.
Alix Earle Reflects On Split From Braxton Berrios
The candid admission comes just months after Earle’s breakup with Berrios. The two began seeing each other in the spring of 2023, though their early relationship was surrounded by cheating rumors.
Their relationship later faced new challenges when Earle relocated to Los Angeles to compete on “Dancing With the Stars,” with rehearsals beginning in August 2025. The distance ultimately contributed to a shift in their dynamic.
On December 13, Earle confirmed their split in a tearful TikTok video, making it clear there was no wrongdoing on either side. “It just kind of feels like we’re on two different paths right now, and it sucks,” she said at the time, later adding, “It’s not because he did anything wrong or I did anything wrong.”
Earle Sparks Romance Rumors With Tom Brady
Shortly after the breakup, Earle found herself at the center of a new wave of speculation, this time involving Brady. The two first sparked romance rumors while celebrating New Year’s together in St. Barts. They were later spotted at the same high-profile event once again, attending the preview weekend party for Zero Bond at the Wynn in Las Vegas.
While Alix Earle has been linked to Tom Brady in recent months, she appeared to downplay any romance rumors during a high-profile red carpet appearance.
Earle attended the Vanity Fair Oscar Party at LACMA on March 15, turning heads in a red-beaded gown that highlighted her toned figure. While speaking with Entertainment Tonight, she hinted that she’s currently single, and not tied to anyone in particular.
When asked who she hoped to snap a selfie with at the star-studded event, Earle kept things casual. “Honestly, no one,” she said. “I’m just like, maybe I’ll get someone’s number or something? I could meet someone.”
Alix Earle Says Seeing Ex Again Was ‘Really Hard’
Earle has remained open with her followers about the emotional aftermath of her split. In a TikTok shared in late February, she revealed that she saw her ex in person for the first time since October during a weekend in Aspen.
Both attended events tied to the Palm Tree Music Festival, including a pre-party hosted by SipMARGS. “It was honestly just really hard for me, really weird, really hard,” she said.
The pair initially avoided each other, though they later spoke briefly at a second event. Still, the interaction underscored how much had changed. “It’s weird when you go from someone being like your best friend to being a stranger in the corner of the room,” she explained. “So that was tough. And by tough, I mean terrible.”
