The NFL player Braxton Berrios was photographed leaving a private dinner with model Hollie Ford at The Bird Streets Club in West Hollywood on April 16, according to widely circulated images and coverage. Witness photos and video snippets captured the pair exiting the members-only venue, walking toward a waiting vehicle as onlookers and paparazzi documented the moment. In these visual records, Hollie appears in a minimalist, model-off-duty look while Berrios kept things understated, gestures that have fed speculation about the nature of their evening together.
Reporters on the scene noted that Berrios opened the passenger door for Hollie before they departed in a matte black SUV. When asked about ongoing public attention surrounding his ex, Alix Earle, the athlete declined to comment, shaking his head in response to questions. No formal confirmation has been issued by either Berrios or Ford about whether this outing constitutes a new relationship, but observers have labeled it a dinner date and mused on whether the encounter signals a casual connection or something more intentional.
What the photos and footage reveal
The images from the evening emphasize small details: Hollie Ford in a spaghetti-strap top and low-rise jeans, carrying a labeled designer bag, and Berrios in a relaxed but smart ensemble. These visual cues, combined with the couple leaving together, have been read by many outlets as evidence of a typical celebrity dinner outing. The presence of photographers and a quick departure in a private vehicle added to the event’s discreet, late-night-in-the-city vibe. For readers tracking public figures’ social lives, these moments often act as signals — public appearance, unconfirmed romance, and potential new dating direction all appear in the same breath.
Visual comparisons to Alix Earle
One recurring observation online has been the resemblance between Hollie Ford and Alix Earle: both share blonde hair and light-colored eyes, and both project a polished, social-media-savvy aesthetic. Fans and commentators quickly pointed to these similarities in side-by-side images, wondering whether the likeness was coincidence or part of celebrity culture’s tendency toward familiar beauty standards. While resemblances can be striking in photographs, it is important to treat such comparisons as surface-level; neither Hollie nor Berrios has framed the outing in explicitly romantic terms, so interpretations remain speculative.
Context: relationships, split, and public fallout
The appearance comes months after Berrios and Earle ended their relationship; they reportedly split sometime last fall, and Earle confirmed the breakup in a tearful TikTok posted on Dec. 13. She cited long distance as the primary cause and described the separation as amicable. Since then, both parties have navigated post-breakup life in the public eye. Earle has been candid on social media about the emotional difficulty of not having a steady partner, saying the hardest part is being alone, even as she experiments with returning to dating and public social scenes.
Alix Earle’s recent dating moves and surrounding drama
In the months after the split, Earle attracted romantic rumors of her own, including an appearance alongside former quarterback Tom Brady in St. Barts early in the year — a pairing that outlets later described as casual and not serious. By March 13, an insider told a publication that Earle and Brady never had a committed relationship, describing their connection as a laid-back, “see you when I see you” arrangement. Earle has also publicly declared a desire to shift her dating focus, telling fans in an April 16 recap video of Coachella that she wants to date a rock star and that she is done with football players.
Public disputes and podcast fallout
Adding another layer to the story are recent public disputes involving Earle, including a very public exchange with podcast host Alex Cooper and the removal of Earle’s “Hot Mess” show from Cooper’s network earlier. Rumors of tension between the two first surfaced in March 2026, and the exchange reignited conversations about creators, networks, and how quickly collaborations can change in the influencer era. These developments have kept Earle in the spotlight even as she negotiates personal life and new dating experiences.
At present, neither Berrios nor Hollie Ford has confirmed a romantic relationship, and Berrios has chosen not to weigh in on the public disputes involving his ex. Both appear to be navigating separate chapters: Berrios stepping out for company in Los Angeles and Earle experimenting with single life and new social connections. As with many celebrity moments, the full story may emerge over time, but for now the images from The Bird Streets Club offer a snapshot of two people moving forward in parallel lives under the watchful eye of public attention.
