Influencer Alix Earle shared a raw moment with her followers on TikTok this Tuesday, revealing her emotional struggle with loneliness following her breakup with Houston Texans wide receiver Braxton Berrios. In a tearful video, Alix opened up about the complexities of being alone, something she says she's experiencing for the first time.
Alix confessed, “I just haven’t posted as much about my feelings and emotions because I just don’t want to be, like, sad, down in the dumps. I don’t know if anyone else can relate to this, which is the only reason I’m talking right now, but I feel like the weirdest thing with my breakup and just going through it and being alone is just, being alone.” Despite having friends and family by her side, she feels the absence of a romantic partner acutely.
“I think I’ve just always had boyfriends. I was a boyfriend hopper, and I said, ‘This year, I’m gonna be dedicated to being OK with being alone, but I don’t know why I can’t do it. This is like, growth or something, but like I’m sad.”
Alix admitted this is the first time she’s truly been single, explaining how she’s used to finding comfort in the stability of having a partner. Despite her resolve to embrace solitude, she finds herself struggling with the transition. "Well, Alix didn’t seem so committed to staying single when she was cozying up to Tom Brady weeks ago!" noted one observer, hinting at the complexity of moving on.
She's reaching out to her audience for comfort and relatability, saying, "I’m not lonely. I’m just going to start talking to you guys like you’re my boyfriend. If you’re also feeling weird, you’re not alone.” Her message resonated with many, reminding everyone that breakups are tough, but the journey toward healing is a shared experience.
