‘Dancing With the Stars’ Finalist Alix Earle Reveals Behind-the-Scenes Look at What It’s Really Like To Compete on Show

Social media sensation Alix Earle has given fans a glimpse inside her sprawling Los Angeles home as she shared a behind-the-scenes look at her daily routine as a contestant on “Dancing With the Stars.”

The 24-year-old, who rose to stardom by sharing “Get Ready With Me” videos on TikTok, has been a fan favorite on the dancing competition series alongside her partner, Val Chmerkovskiy, since the latest season premiered in September.

Ahead of the semifinals of “Dancing With the Stars,” which aired Nov. 18 and saw “Secret Lives of Mormon Wives” star Whitney Leavitt being eliminated, Earle took to the video-sharing platform to share a look at the busy day of a social media influencer turned dancing pro.

In the clip, which has so far garnered more than 3.1 million views, Earle showed herself crawling out of her bed with the overlay caption reading, “Camera blocking day DWTS.”

She then woke up her rescue dog, Asia, before showing off her stunning living room, which boasts a chic all-white aesthetic and floor-to-ceiling windows that offer panoramic views of the skyline and allow natural light to flood inside.

Earle furthering showcased her abode as she filled up her pup’s food and water, revealing the abstract art that adorns the walls inside the property.

She then opened up her large fridge and poured herself a coffee, before once again flaunting her expansive living room, which comes complete with wooden floors, a large TV, and doors that lead to a grass-covered patio, which she later took her dog out to.

The TikTok star then changed into a workout set before jumping into her car and heading to the “Dancing With the Stars” studios.

While there, she shared a peek at the trailers before moving into the rehearsal space, which features bright purple walls and wooden floors.

The star then revealed a look at the stage and her partner as they prepped to block their routine in front of the cameras.

Earle then got some much needed rest by getting a massage, before heading into another room in the studios and sprawling out on the couch.

The influencer, who is based primarily in Miami, FL, has spent the last few months residing in California while appearing on the talent contest, which is due to draw to a close with the finale episode on Nov. 26, just days before Thanksgiving.

Earle has not yet revealed whether she plans to return to the Sunshine State fulltime when the show ends—or whether she will head to New Jersey to spend time with her family over the holiday season.

Earle was already traveling back and forth between California and Florida for various work commitments before securing her role on “DWTS,” revealing in a 2024 TikTok video that she had secured herself a home in Los Angeles—although she didn’t reveal whether she had bought the pad or was simply renting.

Her primary residence remains the $2.7 million home she shares with her boyfriend, former Miami Dolphins player Braxton Berrios, who left the Florida-based team and moved to the Houston Texans in March 2025.

While Berrios, 30, has relocated temporarily to the Lone Star State, his partner still resides in his Florida mansion when she’s not busy working in California.

Her residence in that property has sparked some controversy in the past, however, after she revealed
that a follower had turned up on her doorstep in order to drop off flowers, having learned that the social media star was having a bad day.

Though Earle insisted that the “sweetest” gesture had “made [her] entire life,” her followers were quick to raise safety concerns around followers knowing where she lives.

“I told you guys last week, I was having not the best time and one of you guys, I have no idea who, but someone dropped off flowers at my house in Miami,” she shared, while filming a “get ready with me” video during a visit to her mom’s house in New Jersey.

The online superstar went on to hint that she was not home at the time, explaining that her close friend, Sally, received the flowers on her behalf.

“Sally answered the door and [the person] was just like, ‘I just want you to know, these are for Alix, I hope she’s home.’ It was in the midst of me bawling my eyes out when one of you guys dropped off these flowers. It made my entire life and you guys are just the sweetest ever.”

However, despite Earle’s enthusiastic response to the surprise, many of her fans were quick to caution her against encouraging that kind of behavior.

“As sweet as the flower thing is, let’s not normalize going to influencer/celebrity doors,” one person commented on Earle’s clip.

“Some random fan randomly dropping by your house is NOT safe [girlfriend],” added another.

“Big Al, be safe girly,” one follower wrote. “Flowers are sweet but people do crazy things.”

“That is so unsafe someone just randomly came over. People have no boundaries!” someone else chimed in.

Several other commenters urged Earle—who boasts 7.5 million followers on the video-sharing app—to hire “security” personnel, with one cautioning: “Please get security. It may not always be flowers!”

Earle, who has been dating Berrios since 2023, revealed in April of this year that she had moved into his abode, explaining that she’d made the decision to end her lease at a luxury Miami high-rise because she has so much travel coming up.

“So I moved into my boyfriend Braxton’s house, which is really, really weird for me to say,” she shared in a TikTok video.

Earle then noted that her move does not necessarily mean that she and Berrios will be living together full time, remarking that her partner recently “moved to Houston” to join the Texans, having spent the last two seasons playing for the Dolphins.
