TikTok star Alix Earle posts birthday tribute to her mystery NFL man in Miami: ‘HBD’
Alix Earle just went about as Instagram official as you can get with Braxton Berrios.
To mark the Miami Dolphins player’s 28th birthday last Friday (Oct. 6), the mega influencer shared a pic of her in his arms, her legs wrapped around his hips. Neither of their faces is seen as they are deep in a smooch session.
The shorthand caption, in all lower case? “hbd nfl man.”
Berrios was not tagged in the shot, but the 22 year old’s legions of fans knew exactly who her “NFL man” is.
And if anyone follows the wide receiver, the North Carolina native has already done the big reveal of his biggest cheerleader — with a post last month at a game vs. the Denver Broncos at Hard Rock Stadium.
Earle is on the sidelines, hugging the baller while wearing his famous zero jersey (the lack of a number was allowed for the first time after a vote by owners).
“Big W,” he wrote.
Someone in the comments added: “Caption should have said: ‘it’s me, I’m NFL man.’”
This couple’s road to romance hasn’t been entirely smooth. Berrios’ ex, Sophia Culpo, beauty queen Olivia Culpo’s sister, isn’t happy about their relationship, which apparently started around March.
In a since deleted TikTok, the model accused the athlete of being a narcissist and called the recent UM grad his “new supply.”
“Give it a few, but call me when the love bombing ends,” she wrote, referring to a narcissist’s tactics. “I gotchu.”
Berrios’ adult response?
“I don’t want to start anything. I don’t want to fuel anything,” he addressed his followers shortly after the Internet blew up. “I genuinely want all of this to be over and everybody to move on and do whatever makes them happy.”
