More details are coming out about Alix Earle and Braxton Berrios' split! If you haven't heard, multiple sources confirmed to Us Weekly over the weekend that the pair broke up after two years of dating. An insider explained that they "mutually agreed" to end things as "it was hard for them to navigate" their long-distance relationship. But was the distance really the issue for the influencer and the Houston Texans wide receiver? Or was it something else? Braxton allegedly cheated in a past relationship, so did he betray Alix now? According to a new source for Us Weekly on Tuesday, distance IS what mostly broke them up. They explained: "Distance was a huge factor. He really wants to spend more time in LA, while Braxton lives in Florida." "A huge factor" - so not the only factor, but a large one! We mean, most influencers eventually end up in El Lay! We get it! The insider noted that the more time Alix and Braxton spent apart, "the more they realized they were growing apart as a couple." They've both been so busy these past few months. The content creator spent months in Los Angeles for Dancing With the Stars. It took up a lot of her time, along with her other commitments. He is also in the middle of the NFL season. So, while unfortunate, it makes sense that they struggled with the distance more than usual. And it doesn't exactly come as a surprise to any fans. They saw it coming amid her stint on the ballroom competition show. Related: Kylie Jenner & Timothée Chalamet Shut Down Split Rumors! Despite the breakup, Alix isn't down in the dumps. The source added: "Alix is now focused on her new chapter. She's been in great spirits and having fun with her friends." That next chapter does NOT include a new football player right now! Hours after the breakup news dropped, a screenshot allegedly from Alix's close friend's Instagram Story went viral, in which the New York Giants rookie Jaxson Dart slid into her DMs. The message read: "Hey u single now?" Jeez. Wait until the dust has settled before making a move - if it were real. She then allegedly replied: "It hasn't even been 12 hours." Alix hasn't addressed her split from Braxton yet, but she took to TikTok Stories the next day to clear up the situation with Dart. She explained the DM is "fake": "What is this fake photoshopped DM u guys are posting. 1. That never happened. 2. That wouldn't be on my story." (c) Alix Earle/TikTok There you have it! At least on the Jaxson rumors! But hopefully, Alix will share more insight on what went wrong between her and Braxton soon. What are your thoughts on the breakup, Perezcious readers?
