Alix opens up about her recent breakup, saying on TikTok “It’s just been really hard to process in general, and I think why I’ve been scared to say something is because I feel like it just makes it more real. Braxton and I are no longer together. We have been doing long distance since basically June and we haven't gotten to see each other that often.”
Meanwhile, a source tells the Daily Mail “He was initially blindsided by the breakup and wasn't the one who put it all in motion.”

February 8, 2026
While the pair enjoy Super Bowl LX (not together, mind you), three sources weigh into the Daily Mail. The first person insists Alix is single, saying “People need to mind their own business. She's just living her best life and having fun being single. They're not dating! If they were dating, trust me she wouldn't be so public about it! She's thriving right now. She's happier than she's ever been. Just let the girl live and do whatever she wants because she's killing it right now and her friends and family are all for it. [They're] are having a good time hanging out, and while it could turn into more, nobody is thinking too much about it just yet.”
But a second source notes that Alix and Tom were seen “leaving together after the Super Bowl party,” while another claims “If they hang out again, it would be a fling at best. But nothing has happened between them as of yet. It's not that Tom isn't interested - it's just too soon for anything more than a fun hangout.”
