Are Alix Earle and Braxton Berrios still together or broken up?
After a certain Australian hottie danced his way to victory on the Dancing With The Stars finale, viewers couldn’t help but notice that someone was missing.
Finalist and TikTok star Alix’s man was a no-show for the finale.
What’s going on?
Alix Earle danced without Braxton Berrios being there for her
On the Tuesday night before Thanksgiving, beloved Aussie Robert Irwin took home the Mirrorball trophy.
While he and Whitney Carson dazzled audiences, their fellow finalists — including Alix Earle — danced their booties off, as well.
Naturally, viewers wondered why Braxton Berrios wasn’t there to watch Alix Earle dance to Nelly Furtado’s absolute banger, “Maneater.”
He wasn’t there for her final and perhaps most important night in Season 34. If she’d won, he’d have missed it.
That could be a hint at a breakup. And that’s exactly what Alix’s fans asked her about as soon as they got the chance.
@alixearle Thank you Val for creating my dream dance 🥹 wouldn’t have wanted to end the season any other way!!
Over Thanksgiving weekend, Alix took to her TikTok — which is also her claim to fame — to post a Get Ready With Me.
Her goal was to give a debrief to fans about the DWTS finale.
However, one eye-catching question emerged.
“Ugh I hope u and Braxton are still together,” a fan expressed in the comments below the video.
Alix clearly saw it, realized that this follower was not the only one to share this anxiety, and decided to clear the air.
‘He couldn’t come because of football’
As you can see, Alix Earle explained why Braxton Berrios was absent from the Dancing With The Stars finale audience.
“He couldn’t come bc of football :(,” she explained.
If you’re thinking that it’s awful for a man to miss something like this over a sportsball game, you’re valid — but you’re missing a key detail.
Alix doesn’t mean that Braxton stayed home to watch a football game on television.
Braxton is a professional football player for the NFL. His team is called the Houston Texans.
@alixearle Sorry for the long rant ,, but love u guys 💕💕💕💕
Internet research tells us that Braxton was playing a home game (that is, in Houston) against the Buffalo Bills on November 20.
Then, on the following Sunday, his team faced off against the Indianapolis Colts.
Neither of those were the November 25 finale date, but Braxton likely had professional obligations to participate in practices and to generally be a good teammate.
Many of us have learned a great deal about football since Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce first hit things off. One of those things is that football takes place multiple days a week, and apparently extends with a “pre-season” and a “post-season.”
This means that the partners of professional football players likely understand that, in addition to nationwide attention and CTE horrors, schedule disruptions for many months out of the year are simply part of the price.
Not showing up physically doesn’t mean not supporting someone
To be clear, Braxton Berrios did cheer on Alix Earle on November 25.
It just wasn’t in person. Instead, he showered her with love and support by way of a prerecorded video.
“I’ve watched you pour everything into this since the moment it has started, and I think it shows,” Braxton praised.
He told Alix: “Good luck. Have fun, babe.”
Sometimes, a true bond means understanding that being physically there for every event isn’t possible — and isn’t as important as feeling secure in your relationship.

Rihanna is wowing fans with jaw-dropping baby bump pics.
No one does pregnancy like RiRi.
Back in September, Rihanna welcomed her third child with rapper A$AP Rocky.
Check out these stunning pregnancy pics. Her maternity fashion is without parallel.
Rihanna does pregnancy photos like no other
Over Thanksgiving weekend, Rihanna put all of her thanks on display with an Instagram photo album.
The throwback photos featured numerous looks at her pregnant body.
Rihanna’s baby bump was impossible to miss — especially when she wore only a bikini and maternity jewelry.
By that, we mean a long belly chain that sparkles in the sunlight.
Obviously, the singer has been gorgeous every day of her life. But her pregnancy photos (and accompanying fashion) have been consistently next-level.
In fact, fans have long admired Rihanna’s sense of maternity style.
Her first pregnancy was back in 2022.
The baby bump pics, the fashion, the snaps that she shared to social media were all entirely on point.
Some folks very understandably pick a look and stick with it throughout a pregnancy.
But, in Rihanna’s case, she has worn layered open-front looks, dazzlingly sheer tops, and of course bejeweled tummy looks.
Wait, is Rihanna currently pregnant?
Just a reminder: these are throwback photos.
Rihanna is not currently pregnant. It would be medically inadvisable for her to become pregnant until some time in 2027.
The singer gave birth to her third child, Rocki Irish Mayers, on September 13, 2025.
These images are throwback snaps.
As you might surmise from the scope of Rihanna’s baby bump, many are specifically from this past summer.
However, these photos were largely unreleased.
These never-before-seen glimpses at Rihanna are jaw-dropping and highlight her profound sense of style.
Remember, Rihanna is not only a phenomenal singer and a skilled actress.
She also built a beauty business that made her a billionaire. Understanding fashion has to go with the territory.
(RiRi is also a 90 Day Fiance superfan, but that is neither here nor there)
To be clear, these were not Thanksgiving photos
Though Rihanna’s delightful baby bump photodump came over Thanksgiving weekend, she had a different national celebration in mind.
Sunday was Barbados’ 59th year of independence from Great Britain.
It was also the country’s 4th year as a republic.
(Did you know that independence from England is the most popular non-religious holiday in the world?)
So Rihanna had a lot to celebrate — personally and patriotically.

We have an update on the pending divorce between Kandi Burruss and Todd Tucker.
As previously reported, the Bravo personality and her husband of 11 years have decided to go their separate ways.
“After deep thought and a lot of prayer, I’ve made the decision to move forward with a divorce.
“This is a difficult and emotional time, but my focus remains on protecting my peace, being the best mother I can be, and co-parenting with love and respect,” Burruss said in a statement on November 21.
From what we can gather, things remain amicable between the exes — but maybe not for long?
Last Wednesday, Tucker filed a response to the divorce petition in which he said he and his estranged wife’s two kids are currently in his care and residing with him in Georgia, while Burruss handles “out-of-state work obligations.”
(The exes share a son Ace, born in 2016, and a daughter Blaze, born in 2019.)
Tucker added Burruss’ work obligations, “will continue to require her to be away from the children for at least the next several months,” making his case for why he deserves primary custody. If it comes to that.
To be clear, “the parties have been working cooperatively in an effort to resolve all issues, and [Tucker] remains committed to continuing those discussions in good faith,” the legal responds reads, according to Us Weekly.
While the parties negotiate, if they cannot arrive at a settlement, Tucker is just making it known now that he will be seeking primary physical custody, joint legal custody and final decision-making authority.
The estranged spouses met while filming the fourth season of The Real Housewives of Atlanta in 2011 and then exchanged vows in April 2014, blending their families at the time… which included Kandi’s daughter Riley, 23, with ex Russell Spencer; and Todd’s daughter Kaela, 29, with ex Keema Parker.
Aside from helping to anchor the aforementioned franchise, the pair also gave fans an inside look at their lives on the 2022 spinoff Bravo series Kandi & The Gang.
Elsewhere in his official response, Tucker praised Burruss as a mother — and also confessed that he signed a prenuptial agreement before over a decade ago, but suggested he was pressured into signing it without his attorneys around.
“These circumstances raise substantial questions concerning the enforceability of said document,” he now says.
“Nevertheless, [Tucker] remains committed to working in good faith to resolve this matter amicably and privately to the extent possible.”
In her filing, Burruss said the marriage was “irretrievably broken” with “no reasonable hope for reconciliation.”
She concluded via social media last week:
“I’m stepping into a new chapter pouring into my work, my family, and my own growth. I’m grateful to everyone who supported us throughout the years, and I ask for privacy, grace, and understanding as we navigate this transition with our family.”

Amy Schumer and husband Chris Fischer might be the latest celebrity couple to call it quits.
As we previously reported, Schumer posted some new weight loss photos over Thanksgiving weekend.
She’s been doing that a lot lately, and while many stars have been secretive about their weight loss methods, Amy gives all the credit to Monjauro.
But while the purpose of Amy’s latest pics might have been to show off her new physique, fans are fixating on a different aspect of her post.
As many social media users have pointed out, Amy is not wearing her wedding ring in her latest pics.
And that’s especially meaningful for a couple of reasons.
- Amy and Chris have been the subject of divorce rumors for several months now.
- Amy revealed in her caption that she was on her way to a party when she posed for these pics — and that seems like an odd time to remove one’s wedding ring.
“Trying to go to the party but someone won’t go to bed,” the controversial comedian wrote.
As usual, she limited comments on the post, but on X, Reddit, and elsewhere, fans are taking this as the latest sign that Amy and Chris have called it quits.
Amy recently took some flak for deleting most of her old photos from Instagram.
Some said she was trying to erase the part of her past where she weighed more than she does now.
Others alleged that this was Amy’s way of “soft launching” her divorce.
Amy did not explicitly rebuff either theory, but she defended her right to curate her own Instagram page.
“Your Instagram is not your identity it’s a curation of what you want the world to see and I feel great strong and beautiful and it’s been fun sharing that,” she wrote in a post.
That same week, The Daily Mail ran an article alleging that there was much more to the story.
“Amy is 100% getting divorced. She got skinny. She is over it,” a source told the outlet.
The insider went on to explain that she “deleted Chris from Instagram, then deleted everything else. She’s going to file soon, but it’s over. Done.”
A separate source dismissed those rumors and insisted that Amy and Chris are dedicated to working through their “issues.”
“They’re privately working through normal issues that couples in long-term marriages have,” the second insider told People.
“They are both committed to the relationship.”
Even the source who’s shooting down the divorce rumors admits that Amy and Chris have been having problems — so will continue to keep an eye on this situation.

Kody Brown has at last come to the same realization that most of the free world landed on age ago:
He’s really nor a very good person.
On the latest episode of Sister Wives, Kody was determined to set his former spouses “free” by going around and making amends with Janelle, Meri and Christine.
Nevermind that none of these women seemed to really be in the mood for an apology.
At one point on the installment, Kody arrived in North Carolina to meet up with Janelle… before revealing to viewers that he had yet to reach out to Meri or Christine about having a deep talk with either of them.
The father of 17 added that he was starting with Janelle because she was the least hostile toward him.
“My heart isn’t soft enough to actually apologize to them yet,” Kody explained. “The devil gets in your head. You know, like, Father in Heaven, I need some help here, ‘cause me, this jack wagon, I’m just an a$$hole to most people and I really don’t want to do that anymore.”
Brown went on to say he never saw himself this way until about four years ago — that’s when Christine left him.
She was then followed by Janelle and Meri.
“I never thought I was until I got divorced,” he said. “I thought everybody liked me and then when, you know, the three people you thought you were the superhero for says, ‘You’re an ahole,’ [it’s like], what are you talking about? You’re the a$$hole!”
Kody has been showing a softer side of late.
He was recently reduced to tears after receiving a message in front of the camera from legal wife Robyn.
He’s even admitted that he’s a terrible father.
We’re not used to this sort of self-reflection from Kody Brown, whose own daughter just trashed him as a joke and a liar.
Seriously, Leon Brown has known her dad is an A-Hole for a very long time.
“There’s a ridiculous video of my father circulating,” Leon said on social media, referring to footage of Kody claiming he has reached out to his adult children in order to fix their relationships.
“Let me be so fc-king clear: I have not heard from that man since my brother killed himself,” they added, emphasizing:
“Kody blatantly blew me off at Garrison’s funeral. He is a liar. He is a joke of a father.”
Maybe an a$$hole, one might say. Right, Kody?
