The more Earle, who just came insecond place onDancing With the Stars, and Braxton, who is in the middle of his NFL season, spent time in different places, "the more they realized they were growing apart as a couple," the insider explained. "Alix is now focused on her new chapter. She's been in great spirits and having fun with her friends."
On December 6, when the breakup news first broke, a source gaveUs Weeklysimilar intel, noting the "majority of their relationship was long-distance, and it was hard for them to navigate. They mutually agreed on the split."
While Braxton wasn't at Earle'sDancing With the Starsfinale, he postedmessages of supporton Instagram. Healso recordeda video message that was played during the show. He told her in the clip, "I've watched you pour everything into this since the moment it has started, and I think it shows. Good luck. Have fun, babe."

Earle recently gave an interview to theNY Postwhere she discussed her approach to podcasting and vlogging. "I just always lead with transparency," she said. "I think that's really important. And sometimes, things are a disaster! I think those moments are what make us human."
She also revealed how being onDancing With the Starsbrought her closer to her audience "because I've had to be super vulnerable. I'm usually on the go with my friends, traveling around. These past few months, I've been in one place, dedicating myself to learning this art, and having these moments of doubt, and getting down on myself. I've been vlogging a lot more through this process."
