Braxton Berrios' girlfriend Alix Earle opens up about turning into WR's personal nurse after ACL surgery

Miami Dolphins wide receiver Braxton Berrios injured himself during the Week 7 clash against Indianapolis Colts. Later, it was discovered that Berrios tore his ACL. The wide receiver had a successful surgery for the same last week and is currently undergoing a recovery phase.

Braxton Berrios' girlfriend Alix Earle has turned herself into a personal nurse for the Dolphins WR, helping him recover from the season-ending injury. In Thursday's episode of "Host Mess with Alix Earle" podcast, she opened up about helping Berrios with his recovery.

"I'm feeling pretty tired today. I haven't been getting much sleep because I've been helping Braxton in the middle of the night because I'm being a nurse right now. So, like, making sure he's taking his medicine, changing his ice machine and I'm like, I don't even know what sleep schedule I'm on. But it's a terrible one," Alix Earle said. (0:05)

With his season over, Braxton Berrios can only look forward to the next season. He would need all the support he can get from his girlfriend and the medical staff on his case.

Alix Earle recalled exact moment when she discovered Braxton Berrios’ injury

When Berrios injured his ACL, Alix Earle was boarding a flight and the news sent shivers down her spine. In last week's episode of her podcast, Earle recalled the exact moment when she got to know about her boyfriend's injury. Opening up about the same, she said:

"I was listening to the Dolphins game on my headphones," Earle recalled. "I was listening to the game the whole flight, so I didn't sleep on the flight. And then we landed, and I went to go get coffee in the airport, and I like to put my headphones back in to listen to the game. I turned it on, and right as I turned the game on, they said like, ‘Braxton Berrios in the tent with an injury.'"

She continued:

"That's just like the last thing you want to hear. Also, just like, he was out in the game, and I was listening to a live stream, so I couldn't see the game. So, I didn't know what type of injury. Like, that could mean anything. I'm in the airport, like, I literally felt all the blood rush from my face," Earle further added. (3:30)

Apart from talking about her girlfriend duties in this week's podcast episode, Alix Earle also opened up about a hilarious incident involving the wide receiver's grandpa. Earle recalled how Braxton Berrios' grandpa roasted her in front of the whole family.
