Braxton Berrios Denies Ignoring Text From Alix Earle’s Younger Brother

Alix Earle Reveals the Moment Braxton Berrios Laughed in Her Face After Breakup

Braxton Berrios is putting an accusation made against him into the end zone. 

After Alix Earle’s younger brother Thomas Earle II claimed the New York Giants wide receiver ignored his text during an episode of her family’s Earle Meets World reality series, Braxton set the record straight. 

Indeed, after a fan of the Netflix series, which premiered Sept. 4, questioned if “Braxton ever [texted] Thomas back????” in a recent TikTok video, the athlete commented under the post, “All love but this was hard to see because it never happened, Thomas is my guy and to this day I’ve never not replied to him.”

ICYMI, Alix, 25, and Braxton, 30, broke up in December 2025 after more than two years of dating. And during her family’s ski trip following the split, which was chronicled on episode three of Earle Meets World, Alix’s 9-year-old brother claimed that Braxton ignored his message. 

“Braxton has been ignoring my text messages,” he said as the Earle family gathered for a meal. “I said, ‘Merry Christmas and Happy New Year.’

Alix immediately chimed in, “And he hasn’t answered you?” to which Thomas responded, “He hasn’t seen it.”

Naturally, the reality star wasn’t happy to hear her baby brother was given the cold shoulder. 

“Wait, that’s really mean,” she said. “You don’t have to answer to me, but you will answer my brother.”

But in the last few minutes of the season finale, Braxton did answer a rather important phone call from the Reale Actives founder in which she asked about a potential recoupling between the pair

"I know that when we broke up, you said that there was like no chance that we would ever get back together," Alix told the NFL player. "And that was just not an option. But, I feel like, it's in the back of my mind or something that I think about."

"And I don't know if it's the healthiest for me that I still feel like there's a possibility, or, I don't know," she continued. "But I just wanted to know if you still feel the same way, 100 percent would never get back together, even if it's like a small percentage. Is that ever something that you think about?"

Though the interaction had viewers on the edge of their seats, it seems they’ll have to cross their fingers for season two to be greenlit. As Braxton said before the credits began to roll, "Oh, Alix.”
