Giants sign – Braxton Berrios has signed with the New York Giants shortly after seeing his ex-girlfriend Alix Earle, with Earle describing an emotional run-in that left her in tears before she said she was “fine” again.
Braxton Berrios’s return to the NFL came with a very different kind of spotlight—one that started not on a practice field, but in a personal moment Alix Earle shared publicly.
Not long after Earle had an encounter with her ex-boyfriend that left her in tears, the NFL receiver signed with the New York Giants. The timing followed a night out when the two saw each other, an exchange Earle later described in a TikTok posted on Monday, May 25, 2026.
In that video, Earle took off her makeup and addressed what happened after the run-in. She said her eyes were “a tad bit puffy” because she was crying after running into Berrios. She also said the two appeared to be “on good terms,” pointing to how things played out right after the encounter.
Earle explained that one of their mutual friends was taking pictures of them together before asking for a shot of Earle alone. That request effectively “pushed” Berrios out of frame. Being out but not with him is what hit her emotionally—she said she was “looking around the place” for him after the split in the photos. In her words, “I think that really sucked.”.
The waterworks didn’t stay contained. When one of her friends noticed she was crying, the question followed—Earle then called a car home and “cried to my dog.” She made clear, though, that she’s “fine” now.
The personal update lands alongside a major football move for Berrios. The receiver and Earle broke up in December 2025. which was described as mutual at the time. with their relationship framed as being shaped by distance and their separate ventures. Before that end, they had been together for two years. During Earle’s run on Dancing with the Stars. Berrios supported her from afar. even as he wasn’t always able to be present because of NFL commitments.
On the field, Berrios has jumped between teams during his career, playing for the New England Patriots, the New York Jets, the Miami Dolphins, and the Houston Texans. Now he’s signed with the Giants.
This latest NFL opportunity comes in the wake of an injury to another receiver. The Giants move follows Gunner Olszewski suffering a torn Achilles tendon.
For readers watching both stories collide—an offseason reunion described through tears and a roster decision tied to a serious injury—what stands out is how quickly the emotional and the professional timelines overlap. One moment, Earle was looking around a place for Berrios. Not long after. the league story goes back to work: a new signing for a receiver. with the Giants replacing depth after Olszewski’s torn Achilles tendon.

So he signed bc she cried? ok.
I don’t even watch football like that but the timing sounds kinda sus. Like the Giants really said “wow TikTok tears” and then signed him 😂
Wait I thought Alix and Braxton were together until like 2024?? But then it says December 2025 so idk. Also torn Achilles is serious but why are we mixing it with her makeup removal video lol. The article says she was “on good terms” and still crying to her dog, which… same girl.
Man NFL contracts are so random. One dude cries in a TikTok and next thing you know he’s on the Giants. I’m not saying it’s fake, but it’s also weird that Gunner getting hurt happens right around the same time. Either way, Berrios bouncing teams again like Patriots, Jets, Dolphins, Texans… dude can’t pick a zip code.
