Alix EarleandBraxton Berriosare officially a couple!

The model joinedAlex Cooperfor a surprise appearance on a live recording of theCall Her Daddypodcast in Chicago, during which she confirmed she has a new boyfriend.

The social media influencer, 22, has been seen with the Miami Dolphins wide receiver since May. However, it was not until Sunday that Earle confirmed with Cooper, 29, that she and Berrios, 28, are an item.

“We’ve gotta ask the question and get to the tea, right here! Alix, do you have a boyfriend?” Cooper asked Earle.

The crowd then erupted in applause and eagerly shouted “Yes!” before Earle could answer. The influencer took a few seconds to reply.

“I mean… yes," Earl said as the crowd cheered again.

After the couple’s first public appearance in May, Berrios attended the recent University of Miami graduate’s graduation party that same month.

Throughout the summer, Earle would then post her “Get Ready With Me (GRWM)” TikToks before dates or weekends away, leading followers to ask whether or not she had a boyfriend. In June, she said shedid not have a boyfriendand that the two were“not even ‘dating.'”

In July, the pair made their red carpet debut at the 2023ESPY Awards, where theywalked hand-in-hand. Afterward, a source told PEOPLE at the time, “They werenot exclusiveor official."
