Berrios first started dating Earle, 25, after meeting at a party in February 2023. After a couple months of playing coy and vaguely referring to her relationship with an "NFL Man" in her TikTok videos, the two were spotted together in a TikTok video of a fan meeting Earle at a restaurant in Miami.
The influencer and Berrios dated for two years before calling it quits in December 2025, just after Earle competed on season 34 of Dancing with the Stars. Over the course of the 11-week competition, Berrios was not seen at the live episode tapings. Throughout, Earle continuously cited his NFL commitments to explain his absences.

Last month, Earle and Berrios were spotted conversing at the Sports Illustrated x Authentic Brands Group party at The Surf Club Restaurant in Miami, and shortly after, Earle explained that the two are on "good terms" despite the split. "I didn't want to be awkward, lingering around, so I just ripped the Band Aid off and was like, 'I'm gonna go up and say hi,'" Earle explained in a TikTok on May 2.
Berrios began his NFL career with the New England Patriots in 2018, when he was drafted 210th overall. He has also suited up for the New York Jets and the Miami Dolphins.
