Is Alix Earle Dating 23-Yrs-Older Tom Brady After Split?

Alix Earle and Tom Brady spark dating rumours after New Year outing

The New Year usually brings fireworks, music and a few blurry photos. This time, it also brought a surprise celebrity moment. As 2026 began, cameras caught Alix Earle, 25, spending New Year’s Eve with NFL legend Tom Brady, 48, during a party in St. Barts.

It didn’t take long for the clips to spread. In the videos, Alix and Tom can be seen talking closely, dancing, and laughing throughout the night. One short moment — Alix leaning in to whisper something while touching Tom’s back — was enough to send social media into full speculation mode.

Are Alix Earle and Tom Brady really dating?

Right now, there’s no clear answer. TMZ reported that the two looked comfortable and familiar with each other during the celebration, but neither has confirmed anything. Their teams also declined to comment.

What stood out to many viewers was how relaxed the interaction seemed. It didn’t look staged or awkward. Still, a friendly night out doesn’t automatically mean a relationship. Until either of them speaks publicly, the rumours remain just that — rumours.

Why did Alix Earle break up with Braxton Berrios?

Just weeks before the New Year sighting, Alix confirmed her breakup with NFL player Braxton Berrios. She spoke about it openly on Instagram and TikTok after finishing as first runner-up on Dancing with the Stars Season 34.

According to Alix, the main issue was distance. While she was living in Los Angeles for the show, Braxton stayed in Houston. Over time, that gap became harder to manage, especially as Alix started focusing more on herself and her future.

She admitted the breakup was emotional but stressed there was no drama. Alix even asked fans not to attack Braxton online, calling him her “best friend” and saying the decision came from a place of honesty, not conflict.

Tom Brady’s dating life since his divorce

Since divorcing Gisele Bündchen in 2022, Tom Brady has kept most of his personal life private. He has been linked to model Irina Shayk and was briefly rumoured to be spending time with Brooks Nader, but nothing long-term has been confirmed.

Friends close to Brady have previously said his main focus has been his children, business interests, and adjusting to life after football. Meanwhile, Gisele has moved on with Joaquim Valente and welcomed a child.

So, what’s really going on?

For now, Alix Earle and Tom Brady are simply two famous names spotted at the same New Year’s party. Whether it turns into something more is still unknown. But one thing is clear — a single night was enough to make the internet talk.
