For months Travis Kelce and Taylor Swift’s relationship has dominated the headlines and brought a whole new fan base to the NFL.

Where they previously would not have cared, Swifties are now tuning into Chiefs games to either catch a glimpse of their hero cheering from the stands or watch her man in full flight for Kansas City.

But now Swift and Kelce have rivals for the title of the NFL’s hottest power couple. 

That’s because Miami Dolphins receiver and return specialist Braxton Berrios and his TikTok star girlfriend Alix Earle are officially dating and growing quite the fan base on social media.

While they don’t have the A-list status of Swift and Kelce, Berrios and Earle have been dubbed the ‘most attractive couple on the planet’ by some fans. Quite a statement.

Their recent romantic trip to the Bahamas during the Dolphins’ bye week and the ensuing flurry of snaps on Instagram and TikTok videos certainly boosted their credentials for that title.

The pair started dating earlier this year following Berrios’ acrimonious split from model Sophia Culpo in March after two years together.

The former Jets star was accused of cheating on Culpo, whose older sister Olivia is the fiancée of NFL star running back Christian McCaffrey.

It wasn’t the best start to a relationship with some speculation that Earle and Berrios were involved while the receiver was still dating Culpo.

Earle quickly refuted those claims though and denied she’s a ‘homewrecker.’ 

‘When I was reading these comments, I was bawling my eyes out to my friends and they were like, ‘Hello, Alix, this stuff normally does not get to you,” she said on ‘Call Her Daddy.’

‘I spent my childhood basically thinking that this is the worst thing you could do to another human, so why the f*** would I do that? No, they were not together.’

Now months have passed and it was during their recent idyllic trip to the Caribbean that they officially became boyfriend and girlfriend.

The 22-year-old TikToker asked Berrios to be her boyfriend at the end of one of her hour-long YouTube videos, to which he said: ‘Yes, absolutely. I would love to be. It has been a long time coming. Are you my girlfriend?

Earle replied: ‘Er, yeah!’ with a nervous laugh.

The video was also captioned ‘the end of NFL man’ – the nickname which she had been using to refer to Berrios.

It was after that video had aired that her loyal fans gave the couple their seal of approval with gushing comments arriving in droves. 

‘I don’t even know you but you deserve the world,’ one wrote. ‘This is literally the cutest thing.’

‘Obsessed. Happy. Ugh. Jealous. Your perfect. He’s perfect. I cry,’ another posted.

It was here they were also labeled ‘the most attractive couple on the planet’ in a bold statement that will have left some Swifties no doubt scratching their heads.      

Earle’s claim to fame is her TikTok popularity, with the 22-year-old amassing six million followers on the platform and another 3.2 million on Instagram. She is also known for hosting the ‘Hotmess’ podcast. 

Her astronomical audience on social media saw a TikTok of her and Berrios doing the ‘Titanic Challenge’ rake in a staggering 11 million views in a day.

Content of them on holiday in the Bahamas would regularly chalk up in excess of four million views, too.

Earle was also asked about her relationship with Berrios during a surprise appearance on Alex Cooper’s ‘Call her Daddy’ live show earlier this month. 

The influencer confirmed she’s no longer single shortly after coming on stage at the Chicago Theatre during Cooper’s Unwell Tour in the Windy City on November 12. 

Cooper immediately put Earle on the spot by asking: ‘Alix, do you have a boyfriend?’ 

A nanosecond later, the crowd immediately reacted to the question by emphatically yelling: ‘yes!’

Like Swift, Earle has become a regular at her boyfriend’s NFL games – meaning their relationship is starting to spill into the mainstream.

She even flew across the Atlantic for the Dolphins’ game against Kelce’s Chiefs in Germany earlier this month.

Their romance certainly appears to be paying off for the Dolphins after she did a gameday vlog in Frankfurt and posted it to TikTok. It has since amassed 9.4million views.

Reports revealed that searches for Dolphins tickets surged by an astonishing 331 per cent since the game in Europe.

Furthermore, it appears her six million TikTok followers paid particular close attention to her vintage jacket. 

Searches for a retro Dolphins clothing item also climbed by a massive 400 per cent since that weekend.

Swift has attended four Chiefs games – three in Kansas City and one in New York – from September onward but has put her football era on hold as she resumed her tour in South America. 

But the Chiefs enjoyed a similar spike in interest when news of Swift’s romance with Kelce first emerged – sales of Kelce’s No 87 jersey spiked an astonishing 400 percent.

If the buzz around Berrios and Earle’s relationship continues to grow then the NFL may be hoping that fate leads the Dolphins and Chiefs to meet in the AFC’s Championship Game.

Both teams are currently 7-3 – with the Jaguars and Browns – but find themselves behind conference leaders Baltimore. 

If more sightings of Swift at Kelce’s games as we head towards Super Bowl season isn’t enough to satisfy executives, now the glitzy duo have competition for the title of the NFL’s power couple.
