Alix Earle and NFL star boyfriend Braxton Berrios reveal surprise friendship with fellow sports star
Earle and Berrios, who signed a one-year, $1.8million deal with Houston in March, went to the South of France before the beginning of his Texans training camp.
And Berrios' Instagram post recapping the memorable trip shows that F1 star Charles Leclerc was in their group for at least part of the sun-filled vacation.
In a group mirror selfie, both Leclerc and his influencer girlfriend, Alexandra Saint Mleux, were spotted in the frame with Berrios (though Earle was not in the shot).
In another picture, Berrios and Leclerc could be seen sitting next to each other at a beachfront meal.
All-Pro returner Berrios captioned the carousel post 'Couldn't draw it up any better,' as he shared several other pictures from the trip - including a couple of him and Earle.
Earle and Berrios started dating in 2023 after the receiver and model Sophia Culpo ended a two-year relationship.
And Earle, who attended the University of Miami, was a huge supporter of Berrios while he played for the Miami Dolphins over the last two seasons.
Berrios played just six games last season after tearing his ACL in October.
Nonetheless, he landed with the Texans over the winter as the former sixth-round pick prepares to head into his seventh NFL season.
His fame off the field has certainly risen since he began dating Earle, who boasts 7.5million followers on TikTok. Berrios himself has over 554k followers on Instagram.
His Texans will report for training camp on July 23, with their preseason beginning on August 9 against the Jaguars.
They'll then open their regular season against the Rams.
Leclerc, meanwhile, endured a difficult outing at his last race as he finished just 14th at the British Grand Prix on July 6.
The Ferrari driver is fifth in the F1 standings this season, with 119 points and four podium finishes.
His next race will come at the Belgian GP on July 27.

Christian Horner 'betrayed' by Red Bull as details of sacking emerge
Christian Horner was sacked as the team principal of Red Bull earlier this month after more than two decades with the Formula One team Christian Horner has allegedly been left feeling "betrayed" following Red Bull's decision to axe him after two decades as team principal of the Formula One powerhouse. The 51-year-old was dramatically ousted from his role earlier this month in a stunning announcement from the energy drinks giant. Laurent Mekies, Racing Bulls chief, was appointed as his successor as the motorsport world reeled from the exit of a figure who had steered the team since their F1 debut in 2005. The choice to part company with Horner arrived 18 months after he became embroiled in a WhatsApp controversy. An unidentified female Red Bull staff member alleged 'inappropriate conduct', which Horner strongly refuted. Purported messages attributed to Horner were disclosed to media outlets and team personnel in the paddock, leading to an internal investigation, but he was exonerated of any misconduct. Nevertheless, just one season on, his Red Bull journey has reached a brutal conclusion. Close associates of the motorsport chief have now voiced concerns about his dismissal, with Horner allegedly feeling "betrayed" by the F1 outfit. One confidant revealed to SunSport:"Christian told me how hurt and betrayed he felt after all that he and Geri and their family have been through over the past 18 months. He was cleared twice over the texting scandal but is now on gardening leave." A source close to the situation alleges that Horner walked into the London meeting completely unaware of his impending fate. He was purportedly "dumbfounded" upon learning he had been sacked, with a family friend stating that Horner thought he was there to discuss a different matter. While Horner's future in F1 remains uncertain, his achievements haven't gone unnoticed by Max Verstappen, who expressed gratitude to his former boss in a heartfelt social media post. The four-time world champion shared: "From my first race win, to four world championships, we have shared incredible successes. Winning memorable races and breaking countless records. Thank you for everything, Christian!" In the statement on Horner's sacking, Red Bull said: "After 20 years with the Team, Christian Horner departs Oracle Red Bull Racing as Team Principal and CEO. We thank him for his tireless and exceptional work. "He has been instrumental in building this Team into one of the most successful in F1, with eight Drivers' Championships and six Constructors' Championships. Thank you for everything Christian, you will forever remain an important part of our team's history."

Janet Street-Porter leaves Loose Women open-mouthed as she reveals her little-known role in adult movie before TV fame
Janet Street Porter left her Loose Women co-stars open-mouthed as she revealed her little-known role in adult movie during Monday's instalment of the ITV show. The 78-year-old, Charlene White, 45, Katie Piper, 41, and Brenda Edwards, 56, returned to the studio to discuss the latest headlines and newsworthy topics. The Loose ladies got chatting about their first jobs as most schools have officially broken up for the summer holidays. Janet confessed that she landed a role as a temporary clinical officer at the tax office to cover for her mum, but it was her next job that was out of the norm. She said: 'When I was at college, a friend of mine got a job advising, it was the end of the 60s and London had a lot of foreign film directors and wanted to make a lot of saucy movies about swinging London. 'My friend got a job as an art director or something, and he got me a job as an actual actress, non-speaking, extra and I played a receptionist.' Katie asked: 'An adult movie?' 'Yes,' Janet replied. 'The thing is, I had like a mini white nylon overall, I had hair sprayed silver, I had false eye lashes. 'They took my glasses off me. So don't ask me what the action was!' Charlene pointed out: 'You couldn't see the extra stuff?' Janet added: 'I walked through the Turkish bars, I held my clipboard high. ' 'Do you know what? The film is available, but unsurprisingly we're not going to show it,' Charlene said. Meanwhile others opened up about their first jobs. Katie confessed: 'Before I got my national insurance number, so I guess I must have been 14, me and my sister had a car-washing business. 'Looking back, quality control wasn't high, it was mobile with bucket and sponge, no hose pipe. There was probably quite a lot of soap suds on your car at the end. 'We then also had table top sales at the end of the drive. 'We lived in a village, in my mum's garden there was an apple tree. We would sell all the apples, all our old toys. We weren't paying tax but we were 14...' Then when she got her NI number she landed herself a job at Tesco. Katie said: 'I kept that job for the whole of college, I started on the checkouts, then I went to customer service, got promoted to the tobacco kiosk. 'I was at my mum's this weekend, I went back into Tesco and loads of the same people that I worked with are still there now.' Charlene started working part-time at 16 and then at 18 she worked at the London Trocadero - and she would sometimes dress up as Sonic the Hedgehog handing out flyers. It comes after Janet's comments to Loose Women co-star Kelle Bryan resulted in her storming out of the studio into the audience last week. Janet, Kelle, Brenda and Coleen spoke about heartbreak and they all had different opinions. Kelle said: 'I'm clearly on the wrong panel today... if I get my heart broken it takes me a long time to recover. 'I'll be sad and down, it takes me a long time to let someone in in the first place. To trust somebody. 'It takes me a bit of time to say you're my person, but once I've made that decision, you're my person, you're in my world. 'If they let me down, hurt me, cheat on me, dump me, I'm devastated for a bit!' Janet piped up and asked: 'But Kelly, aren't you just cross you messed up and made the wrong decision?' A shocked Kelle said: 'Right. I'm off. I'm going to go and sit in the audience!'
