WHILE HOUSTON IS still mourning the loss of Alex and Reagan Bregman’s move to Boston, a new power couple is about to touch down in H-Town. Influencer Alix Earle’s boyfriend Braxton Berrios was drafted to the Texans this week.


Earle made the announcement to her 7.3 million followers on TikTok with a video featuring Beyonce’s Texas Hold ’Em and the caption, “Braxton got the call today that he will be playing for the Houston Texans this next year!! So incredibly proud & can’t wait to see what this next year brings.”

Texas time 👏🏻

In a second video — one of her GRWM videos that brought her to social media fame — she said, “I’ve been just having the itch for Texas,” And added that Houston should be prepared to “see a lot of me.”

The 29-year-old influencer — who also has 4 million followers on Instagram — was living in Miami as Berrios played for the Dolphins. She started amassing followers in 2022 with her candid discussions of acne and body dysmorphia. In 2023, she was named in the Forbes 30 Under 30 list. The same year, she launched the popular Hot Mess podcast which dethroned Joe Rogan’s top position on the Spotify charts when it debuted, a position he held for two years prior.

Berrios, a wide receiver, signed a one-year deal worth $2 million with the Texans. He previously played four seasons with the New York Jets and two seasons with the Maimi Dolphins.

Gayla Gardner, Jacquie Baly and Julie Baker Finck

THE DOCTOR IS in! One of Houston’s most engaged civic leaders, Jacquie Baly, has a new title after earning her Doctorate in Education and Organizational Change & Leadership from USC. And some of the city’s heavy hitters turned up for a swanky reception at Tony’s to congratulate her. “Education and community leadership go hand in hand,” said Dr. Baly. “This honor fuels my continued mission to create meaningful change.”

And they weren’t alone in their admiration. Both the City of Houston and the State of Texas declared the day of the to-do “Dr. Jacquie Baly Day,” complete with official proclamations.
