News correspondent Will Marfuggi after the ABC show. “But he texted me a screenshot that he voted for me \u2014 most important.”<\/p>\n The 24-year-old added, “He’s very sweet and always supportive, so [I’m] excited to talk to him later.”<\/p>\n Berrios not only posted his voting receipts to his Instagram story \u2014 joking that “Voting hates to see me coming” \u2014 but he also shared a video of his TV screen showing her DWTS intro, writing, “Let’s go!”<\/p>\n And while Earle tears up the dancefloor with partner Val Chmerkovskiy, Berrios is preparing to tear up the field as the football season kicks off.<\/p>\n In fact, Earle revealed that he’ll return when his Houston Texans take on the Jacksonville Jaguars Sept. 21 after suffering what she described as “a little hamstring” injury.<\/p>\n “He’s cleared today, so he’ll be in the game next week,” she added in the interview, airing Sept. 17 at 11 p.m. “And he’s very excited.”<\/p>\n
