Alix Earle and Braxton Berrios are each other’s biggest fans.
In fact, the Miami Dolphins player—who started dating the TikToker in 2023—was supportive of her recent idea to tease an engagement announcement, despite there being no official plans in the works.
“It was just a fun joke because everyone was posting these outlandish things with TikTok being banned,” she told E! News in an exclusive interview. “I asked Braxton and he was like, ‘Oh my god, go ahead post it. That’s so funny.'”
“He was in on it,” Alix confirmed. “He wasn’t shocked.”
Indeed, before TikTok’s brief ban in the United States in January, the social media star—who’s amassed over 7 million followers on the platform—encouraged her fans to follow her on Instagram so they don’t miss when she gets engaged.
And although it was just a joke at the time, Alix admitted that she’s been “getting a lot of questions about that post” since TikTok was restored on Jan. 19, “I’m like, ‘Maybe I shouldn’t have put that up.'”
