Alix Earle and Braxton Berrios reunited for the first time since their breakup.
In December, PEOPLE confirmed that the pair — who started dating in 2023 — had broken up. Earle later shared in a tearful TikTok that they made the decision to split because she couldn’t “be what Braxton needs,” amid Berrios’ demanding NFL schedule and her taping of season 34 of Dancing with the Stars.
In a TikTok posted on Feb. 25, Earle, 25, revealed that she saw Berrios, 30, in person for the first time since October over the weekend.
“It was honestly just really hard for me — really weird, really hard,” admitted the internet personality.
PEOPLE previously reported that the duo was both at the Palm Tree Music Festival in Aspen, Colo., last weekend — and both attended a Palm Tree Pre-Party at Kemo Sabe hosted by SipMARGS, the beverage brand in which the two are investors.

“I was really emotional the first night,” she recalled of the weekend. “We were in the same place, but we didn't say hi to each other, just ’cause I don't want to, like, go up and annoy him.”
She added that the pair spoke “briefly” at the second event.
“It's weird when you go from someone being like your best friend to being a stranger in the corner of the room,” she said. “So that was tough. And by tough, I mean terrible.”

Following the news of her split, Earle has been romantically linked to retired NFL quarterback Tom Brady after the two were spotted first hanging out at the same New Year’s Eve event in St. Barths and then publicly reuniting at a party in San Francisco during Super Bowl weekend.
Though reps for Earle and Brady have not commented on the relationship, a source told PEOPLE in early February that the pair were “hooking up.”

Earle has spoken out about her emotions in the wake of her split from Berrios, sharing in a Jan. 21 TikTok that it felt "so weird" to not have a "male partner" around to talk to or to "distract" her.

"I think I've just always had boyfriends. I was, like, a boyfriend hopper," she said at the time. "This year, I'm gonna be dedicated to being OK with being alone. But I don't know why I can't do it. This is like growth or something, but I'm sad."
In a Feb. 19 episode of her YouTube series Get Ready With Me, Earle shared, "I would say right now I'm a little bit happier when I'm with my friends.”
"Every time I'm alone,” continued the internet star, “not so much."
