Braxton Berrios Explains Why He Missed Alix Earle’s ‘Dancing With The Stars’ Performances Amid Split

Braxton Berrios is setting the record straight.

Just days after multiple outlets confirmed that the Houston Texans wide receiver, 30, and social media star Alix Earle, 24, had called it quits, Berrios addressed questions about why he didn’t attend any of her Dancing With the Stars performances.

On Thursday, Dec. 11, he posted a series of game day photos to Instagram with the caption, “What did I miss?” Some fans joked that it was a Drake reference, while others took it literally. “Every single performance of Alix’s,” one fan commented, referring to Earle’s run on season 34.

Berrios replied, explaining the logistics of being an NFL player. “I would’ve been at every one if I could’ve, sadly I can’t travel like that in season.” He reiterated the same point when another fan made a similar comment. “I would’ve loved to be. Sadly I wasn’t able to travel like that in-season.”

Fans also remembered that Earle had thrown Berrios a surprise 30th birthday party in Los Angeles during his bye week. The football star confirmed he had been in California, replying to a fan who joked about a “first class ticket to LA during the bye week.” “That’s exactly where I went for bye week!” he wrote.
