On Her Relationship With Braxton Berrios

Alix spoke about where her current relationship with Braxton Berrios stands, who is a football wide receiver for the Miami Dolphins.

“[When we first met] Neither of us were really looking for a serious committed relationship, we were just having fun,” she said, explaining that the two were just getting out of relationships and didn’t want to hop right back into another one. “I just wanted someone to hang out with, have fun, but I wasn’t looking for anyone serious, and neither was he.”

Since Alix knew “NFL guy” (how she refers to him) was meant to go back to play for a football team in New York at the time, she didn’t want to get into anything more serious since he would be leaving soon. However, plans changed. “Low and behold, he gets traded to the Dolphins, and if you don’t know much about football, like me, that is Miami’s football team, so it looks like he’s sticking around,” she added.

“I don’t want to be tied down right now,” Alix explained. “A relationship is time and commitment,” she said, revealing that she is just trying and “figuring out this next chapter of my life.”

“I’m back in Miami, I’m just settling into my apartment, I have my good group of girlfriends here and I’m still hanging out with NFL guy — but there’s no pressure on it as of now,” she summarized. “We’re gonna see where it goes, I’m having fun, but you may or may not see at some Dolphins games.”

On Ex-Boyfriend Drama

When Alix and Braxton first met, she was “still kind of going through a breakup at the time,” referring to ex-boyfriend, Tyler Wade, even though the couple had broken up “like 2 months ago.”

“You know how breakups go: you have talks, you get closure, you’re still tying up close ends,” she began. “And my ex did not want to let go of the relationship. It was kind of one of those things where he wanted to get back together and was telling me that he was gonna change and he really wanted to make things work.”

However, Alix explained that she didn’t really “want to make things work” so she tried letting him down easy. “You guys know, you caught me out with my ex, having one of our close talk dates, whatever,” she said, referring to fans who took videos of her out with Tyler and posted them to TikTok.

On Her First Date With Braxton Berrios

Alix revealed that her first date with Braxton was on a helicopter ride around Miami to watch the sunset.

“Overall it was a really cool date, we had a lot of a fun, it was romantic and at this point I kind of knew there was going to be a second date,” she said, before pondering on why the NFL star chose the first date activity. “Looking back, was he taking me on this helicopter date to hide us, so no one could take pictures? Maybe. But honestly, it ended up working out for the best.”
