“I wanted to give you guys an update on my life. 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,” she began.
“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. It’s just been really difficult for me and I think It was really difficult when I was out in LA and I really liked it,” she continued.
“And I thought that maybe I wanted to stay there, and I felt really motivated. And I think that was a scary thing for me to realize because it meant us not being in the same place. And a part of me just also really wants to be focusing on myself right now and I just feel like I can’t be what Braxton needs,” she explained.
“I want him to have someone with him 24/7 who can support him and be there for him and I just…and he wasn’t really expecting that of me. I think it was more a me thing, but I constantly felt, like, guilty. And I love Braxton…he’s my best friend so it’s been really difficult. As we’re trying to just go forward with this, it just kind of feels like we’re on two different paths right now, and it sucks.”
“We’re on good terms, and I don’t want anyone to come for him or to be mean to him or to say it’s because he couldn’t make it to Dancing with the Stars…he couldn’t come because of football,” she clarified.
“And I think the scary part is…part of me doesn’t know if I feel even makes sense. Like, I think I question myself a lot…why do I feel this way? Are these feelings correct? But I feel like I just ultimately wanted to go with trusting my feelings,” she cried.
“And this has just been really hard. I don’t want to post on here crying and being upset all the time, so I’ve just been trying to keep it to myself, but it’s not easy. And I just wanted to tell you guys because I know that we shared a lot of our relationship. We’ve been trying to take a moment between us to just process everything. I wasn’t really feeling like it was working out in the moment. I know there’s going to be a lot of ups and a lot of downs, and I’m not really sure to expect with how I’m gonna handle this or how I’m gonna be feeling. So it’s gonna be a new chapter. And just thank you guys for being a part of all the amazing memories,” she concluded.
Alix Earle was seen partying at Art Basel following the announcement of the split.
