Love is in the air this holiday season in Miami.
Influencer Alix Earle and Braxton Berrios were feeling festive in a new preview for Episode 5 of HBO’s “Hard Knocks” on Max, which currently follows the Dolphins in the 2023-24 NFL season.
Earle and Berrios were seen decorating a Christmas tree at his home in Miami, where the TikTok star, 23, recalled the early stages of their relationship.
“When I first started hanging out with Braxton, he was still on the Jets,” Earle said. “Probably like a month or so into hanging out, you got traded to the Dolphins, and I was like, ‘Oh that’s convenient, I happen to live in Miami.”
Berrios signed a one-year deal with the Dolphins in March following his release from the Jets.
Earle explained that she wasn’t quite familiar with football before she got together with Berrios, 28.
“I’ve probably only been to like two football games in my life before I started dating Braxton,” she said. “Just seeing people run into each other, I was like, ‘Oh my God, don’t touch him!’”
Berrios quipped, “She doesn’t like losing, which I can appreciate because neither do I.”
Earle previously revealed she was filming for the show in one of her famous “get ready with me” videos, which she posted to her TikTok account on Friday.
“Big Al & NFL man on camera,” she wrote in her caption, referring to the nickname she gave Berrios before they went public with their relationship in November.
“They’ve been filming Braxton’s ‘day in the life’ and today we are going to be on it together,” Earle said while doing her makeup.
“We’ll get a Christmas tree and do some Christmas decorating. I don’t know if they’re going to ask me football questions, I have no idea.
“I’m trying not to psych myself out. I’m just thinking of this as a little reality TV moment.
“It’s super super quick turnaround so they’re going to be putting this on in the next week or so.”
The couple filmed for “Hard Knocks” before Earle celebrated her 23rd birthday this past weekend, according to a series of videos she shared on social media.
The All-Pro wideout surprised her with a private sushi dinner at his home in Miami, where she was greeted with a bunch of balloons and a pink cake with pandas on it.
“We call each other panda,” she wrote over a birthday recap video on social media.
Berrios gifted Earle a Cartier Love Bracelet with an engraved message on the inside, which read: “11.11.23 I Love You BB.”
It was the date they made their relationship official during a vacation to the Bahamas in November.
Earle confirmed Berrios is her boyfriend during an appearance on the Unwell tour with “Call Her Daddy” host, Alex Cooper on Nov. 12.
They were first linked shortly after Berrios split from model Sophia Culpo earlier this year.
