Braxton Berrios is pushing back on a claim featured in Alix Earle’s Netflix reality series, Earle Meets World. The NFL wide receiver says he did not ignore a message from Alix’s younger brother, Thomas Earle.
The issue surfaced after an episode showed Thomas discussing an unanswered message during a family gathering. The moment quickly caught viewers’ attention, especially because of Berrios’ past relationship with Alix.
Now, Berrios has publicly disputed that version of events.
Braxton Berrios Says He Never Ignored Thomas Earle
The conversation began after a fan asked on TikTok whether Berrios ever responded to Thomas.
Berrios entered the discussion himself and rejected the idea that he had deliberately ignored Alix’s younger brother.
He also made it clear that he has a friendly relationship with Thomas.
According to Berrios’ response, the situation shown on the reality series did not reflect what actually happened between the two.
That clarification adds another layer to the ongoing interest surrounding Berrios and the Earle family.
What Thomas Earle Said on ‘Earle Meets World’
The original moment appeared during the Netflix series, which follows Alix Earle and her family through major changes in their personal lives.
Thomas discussed reaching out to Berrios with a holiday message. He said he had sent a greeting but believed the former NFL star had not seen or answered it.
Alix reacted strongly when she heard that her younger brother had apparently received no response.
The exchange became part of the show’s broader storyline about how the Earle family dealt with Alix’s breakup with Berrios.
Netflix describes Earle Meets World as an unscripted series following Alix Earle and her family. The first season premiered on September 4, 2026, and is currently streaming on Netflix.
Alix Earle and Braxton Berrios’ Breakup Became a Major Storyline
Berrios and Earle ended their relationship in December 2025 after dating for more than two years.
Their breakup became one of the central personal storylines in Earle Meets World. Netflix’s own coverage of the series notes that the show follows Earle during a period of significant personal and professional change.
Although Berrios does not appear as a regular cast member, his relationship with Earle remains an important part of the show’s first season.
The series also gives viewers a look at how Earle handled contact with her former boyfriend after their split.
The ‘Earle Meets World’ Finale Left Their Relationship Uncertain
The Berrios storyline continued through the season finale.
In the final episode, Alix contacted her former boyfriend and questioned whether reconciliation could ever be possible.
She acknowledged that Berrios had previously told her there was no chance of them getting back together. However, she admitted that the possibility still remained in the back of her mind.
Berrios’ response was deliberately brief, leaving the question unresolved.
Netflix’s official coverage identifies the possibility of Alix and Braxton getting back together as one of the major moments from the show’s first season.
As a result, viewers were left without a clear answer about whether the former couple could eventually reunite.
The Texting Dispute Adds Another Twist
The disagreement involving Thomas is separate from the larger question of whether Alix and Berrios could reconcile.
Still, it has attracted attention because it involves someone close to Earle.
Berrios’ response effectively challenges the impression created by the scene in the series. Rather than allowing the claim to stand without comment, he chose to address it publicly.
That distinction is important because reality television can present conversations and events within a particular storytelling context. In this case, Berrios offered his own account directly.
What Happens Next for Alix Earle and Braxton Berrios?
For now, there is no confirmed reconciliation between Earle and Berrios.
The first season of Earle Meets World ends with their relationship still uncertain. Netflix lists the series as a 2026 reality show starring Alix Earle, with the first season available to stream.
Meanwhile, Berrios has made his position on the Thomas Earle texting claim clear.
Whether the former couple’s story continues in another season remains a separate question.
For viewers following the drama, however, the latest exchange gives them one more piece of the complicated post-breakup story.
