Alix Earle got candid about her top three celebrity crushes — and her rumored boyfriend, Braxton Berrios, didn’t make the cut.
During Wednesday’s episode of the “Call Her Daddy” podcast, the influencer revealed she has always had crushes on Zac Efron and Jacob Elordi.
Yet when asked specifically about her “athlete crush,” Earle gave a surprising answer.
“Travis Kelce,” the 22-year-old replied without hesitation, before she and host Alex Cooper both erupted into laughter.
“Let’s just drink to that, because why the f—k not?” Cooper said, to which Earle replied, “I definitely shouldn’t have said that.”
It’s unclear whether Earle and the Kansas City Chiefs tight end have ever crossed paths, but the 33-year-old football pro is currently rumored to be dating Taylor Swift.
Meanwhile, the TikTok star was first romantically linked to Berrios, 27, in March after celebrity gossip blog Deuxmoi received an anonymous tip about the pair “canoodling” at a party.
However, their budding romance quickly came under scrutiny when the wide receiver’s ex Sophia Culpo insinuated that the Miami Dolphins player cheated on her with Earle.
While Berrios previously denied there was any overlap, the influencer insisted she’s not a “homewrecker” during Wednesday’s episode.
“Were you hooking up with him when he was in a relationship?” Cooper, 29, asked Earle directly.
“It is so triggering to even hear you say that,” the University of Miami grad replied. “No. They were not together.”
Earle recalled “bawling [her] eyes out” over the whole situation, which hit particularly close to home due to infidelity in her family history.
“I spent my childhood basically thinking that this is the worst thing you could do to another human,” she said, referencing her dad’s affair. “So why the f—k would I do that?”
When asked how the cheating rumors began, Earle said that Culpo, 26, started sharing cryptic posts online shortly after the first photos of her and Berrios went viral.
“The ex-girlfriend had started posting things alluding to unfaithfulness in the relationship online, and I was seen hanging out with this guy,” she explained. “So everyone kind of just pointed fingers at me.”

However, the influencer said she made Berrios provide proof of his breakup from Culpo before they even started hanging out.
“I was checking everything,” she added. “We have probably been over this 110 times because I was like, ‘If you did that to a person, obviously of course, you’ll probably do that to me, too.’”
Despite all the drama — and the fact that they made their red carpet debut in July — Earle confirmed that she and the NFL player are not exclusive.
“It’s been weird starting to talk to somebody while kind of having a following, I guess, just because people would see us out together so naturally they’re like, ‘Oh, they’re dating,’” she said.
According to the recent college graduate, she doesn’t feel like now is “the right time to start a relationship.”
