From the video, it is confirmed by Alix Earle that she is no longer with Braxton, citing that the distance between them became increasingly difficult to manage. It can be remembered that both of them had spent considerable periods of time apart since the start of summer.

This became an even more difficult situation as Alix’s schedule picked up while competing on “Dancing with the Stars.” Although she is located in Los Angeles for her training and performances, Braxton is actually involved with his football that takes place during the NFL season. This distance, combined with their careers, made it emotionally draining for her.

It was also mentioned by Alix that she got to a point where she wanted to work on herself. She admitted that she did feel guilty for not being able to be there for Braxton as she thought he deserved, even if he wasn’t trying to make her feel like she had to be there for him. This is what led to her decision of stepping back from the relationship.

What made the difference in this post is the tone of the message. It is clear that there is no betrayal of trust, no argument, or animosity involved here. Alix is candid that Braxton is her best friend, and their breakup is more about timing and the direction of their lives. This brought a lot of positive reaction from their fans, who appreciated that she faced the issue with courage by speaking about it with clarity.

She also broke her silence on online rumors about Braxton, dismissing accusations of pointing fingers or trying to figure out a reason for the breakup that could be attributed to someone else. As per Alix,

“It just stopped functioning in the moment, but the love is still there.”

Alix Earle's heartfelt message gave a look into what is often hidden behind a publicized breakup. When sharing her feelings of distance, timing, and personal reflection, she could finally shift the attention from rumors to insight. Though the relationship is over, it is clear from her statement that it is with respect and care that both parties are moving on.
