In confessionals interspersed between shots of Earle driving, packing up her belongings and shedding a few tears, she provided context for her breakup with the NFL player.“Braxton and I were together for three years. He was the first actual, real love that I’ve ever experienced. I always said I could see us being old in rocking chairs together like, that’s who I would want to be there with,” she said.However, the Reale Actives founder admitted that, despite envisioning a future with Berrios, the thought that he might be “ready for marriage in the near future really stressed [her] out.”
“I’m only 25. I’m not ready for that yet,” she explained.Earle also opened up about the “pressure” of navigating a relationship in the public eye.“We were both busy in our careers and doing long distance at the time,” she said. “We weren’t talking as much. We were barely communicating.” She even admitted that, toward the end of her relationship with Berrios, the pair’s dynamic suffered from a “lack of intimacy.”“It started to dwindle away a little bit,” she added.
