Braxton Berrios’ life off the field draws a lot of attention, thanks in part to his relationship with influencer and model Alix Earle. The Houston Texans receiver has kept a relatively low profile during the season, but his personal life remains in the spotlight because of Earle’s massive following and her growing place in pop culture.
She has built a powerful digital presence, worked with major brands, and broken into modeling at a high level, most notably through her partnership with Sports Illustrated Swimsuit.
This week, SI Swimsuit revisited one of Earle’s standout moments, sharing images from her shoot in Jamaica as SI took a nostalgic look back at past features. In the image from her photoshoot, she is seen posing outdoors in warm golden light, wearing a brown crocheted bikini while kneeling near the water.
The setting features tropical scenery, soft sunlight, and a natural shoreline behind her, capturing the iconic beach-editorial style SI is known for. SI’s decision to resurface the shoot comes at a meaningful time.

Earle is heading into the finale of Dancing With the Stars, where she has become one of the season’s top attractions. Her performances, social media engagement, and ability to bring younger audiences to the show have helped elevate her profile even further.
Berrios has supported her journey, even as he manages his own responsibilities in Houston. Their relationship remains one of the more public pairings in the NFL, adding a layer of celebrity buzz around the veteran receiver during a season where his on-field impact has been limited.
Braxton Berrios Has Been Inactive for Two Straight Weeks
Berrios has not played in the Texans’ last two games. His recent stretch of inactivity comes as Houston reshuffles its receiver rotation and evaluates depth options late in the season. He entered the year coming off a torn ACL suffered in 2024 and has worked to regain rhythm and explosiveness.
The Texans brought him in on a one-year deal to provide slot reliability, veteran experience, and return-game stability, but his role has been situational. He has only a handful of catches on the season and limited snaps on offense.
Houston has leaned more heavily on younger receivers, leaving Berrios to contribute in specific packages or on special teams when active. Coaches have listed him inactive, partly due to roster decisions and partly due to ongoing recovery management.
Berrios is expected to remain a depth option for the remainder of the season. His future beyond this year may depend on his health and whether Houston sees him as a long-term fit.
