Are Alix Earle & Braxton Berrios Back Together? Her Show Cliffhanger, Explained

If you just finished watching Earle Meets World, Alix Earle’s new Netflix reality show, then you’re probably replaying the “Oh, Alix” scene over and over. But the real question here is: Are Alix Earle and Braxton Berrios getting back together? After spending the first season of the show navigating life after the pair’s infamous breakup, Earle seemingly left the door open for a reconciliation in the finale — and then, the show cut to the credits. (Thank you for that amazing cliffhanger, Netflix.) 

In the last couple minutes of the final episode, Earle calls Berrios and asks whether he still thinks there’s “no chance” of them getting back together. His response? A long sigh, followed by “Oh, Alix,” before the credits roll. While the cliffhanger leaves plenty of room for speculation, Earle has given fans a little more insight into where the former couple stands. Here’s the Earle Meets World cliffhanger, explained.

What Went Down Between Alix Earle & Braxton Berrios?

Before we get into the Earle Meets World cliffhanger, let’s back it up a little. Earle and Berrios first sparked dating rumors in early 2023 before making their relationship official later that year. The couple went on to date for over two years, with Earle often sharing glimpses of their relationship online and making appearances at his NFL games. 

Earle eventually moved in with Berrios in 2025, but the couple split in December of that year. While the two have kept some details of their breakup private, Earle has been open about questioning whether ending the relationship was the right call. That uncertainty becomes a major part of Earle Meets World, which follows Earle’s life as she adjusts to being single again.

By the end of the season, it was clear that Berrios was still on Earle’s mind (and in her contacts) — which brings us to that phone call.

What Happened In The Earle Meets World Finale?

After spending much of the season trying to move forward from her breakup with Berrios, Earle admits that she wonders if ending their relationship was a mistake. She tells her sister Ashtin and best friend Sally that she wants to know whether she should finally “pack it up, shut the door, move on, never look back.”

Ignoring their advice (me too, girl), Earle decides to get the answer for herself. In the final moments of the finale, she calls Berrios and brings up something he told her when they broke up. She asks him, “When we broke up, you said there was no chance that we’d ever get back together. I just wanted to know, do you still feel the same way?”

Then comes the cliffhanger. After a brief pause, Berrios responds, “Oh, Alix,” before the episode ends and cuts to the credits.

Earle later admitted that she was nervous watching the scene back, telling Netflix she was “shaking in my boots” when she made the call. Still, she said she doesn’t regret asking him, and that she wanted to “rip the Band-Aid off and do it.”

so, Are Alix Earle & Braxton Berrios Back Together?

So, are Earle and Berrios back together? Not that we know of — at least not yet. While the finale certainly makes it seem like a reconciliation could be possible, neither Earle nor Berrios has confirmed that they are officially back together. In fact, Earle has been pretty careful when talking about their relationship since the show wrapped up.

In an interview with Tudum, Earle confirmed that she and Berrios are still on good terms, but she stopped short of saying what their actual relationship status looks like now. “For what the future holds, we will see,” she said. She also said she’s “not necessarily” seeing anyone and is “just living life.”

Since the breakup, both Earle and Berrios have been linked to other people. Earle has been rumored to be seeing Formula 1 driver Lando Norris, while Berrios was recently spotted with — get this — Norris’s ex, Margarida “Magui” Corceiro. Neither pair has been confirmed, but the sightings have certainly added another layer to the Earle Meets World cliffhanger.

So for now, that “Oh, Alix” phone call is what it is: a cliffhanger. There’s clearly some uncertainty surrounding Earle and Berrios’s relationship, but until either of them confirms — or Earle Meets World gets renewed for a second season — fans will just have to wait and see what happens next.
