It may not be happily ever after for Braxton Berrios and Alix Earle.

Weeks after the pair made their red carpet debut at the 2023 ESPY Awards, speculation has been swirling about the current status of the relationship as the 22-year-old beauty influencer has been linked to fashion designer Donna Karan’s grandson, Sebastian, who turned 18 this month.

In the wake of the rumored Hamptons sighting, which also included a kissing allegation, Us Weekly reported Thursday that Earle was not privy to Sebastian’s age until afterward and apparently posted in TikTok comments, “I found out about this the same time you guys did.”

In New York, 17 is the legal age of consent.

Earle, who boasts more than 5.6 million followers on the viral video platform, first fueled romance buzz with Berrios, 27, this past spring.

The Dolphins receiver — who signed with Miami in March after four seasons with the Jets — had split from his longtime girlfriend, model Sophia Culpo, earlier in the year.

Though Berrios and Earle were spotted out and about together this summer, including at this month’s ESPYs in Los Angeles, a source told People this week how they “never became official.”

“Despite the fact they went to a red carpet together and maybe in traditional Hollywood terms, that could be interpreted as ‘a hard launch’ of a relationship, that’s not what it was at all,” the insider said. “Both have continued to keep things casual and have fun with each other.”

Leading up to their ESPYs appearance, Berrios addressed the fallout of his breakup with Culpo, who claimed in April their romance “didn’t end well or honestly.”

“We just didn’t work out, and that’s OK,” Berrios said in a June Instagram Story. “It’s been very weird and sad to see kind of what’s gone on since then, I’ve been quiet because it’s totally out of character for me to talk about my private life, publicly. But I feel like it needed to be touched on now.”

A short time later, Culpo — the younger sister of former Miss Universe winner Olivia Culpo — shared alleged texts between her and Berrios, which appeared to dispute his take on the breakup timeline.
