Tom Brady’s ‘Beautiful People’ Post Fuels Alix Earle Buzz

Tom Brady’s Instagram post draws attention after New Year party with Alix Earle

Retired NFL star Tom Brady seems to be starting 2026 in a reflective mood, and fans are paying close attention to the timing.

Just hours after he was seen spending New Year’s Eve with influencer Alix Earle in St. Barths, Brady reshared a message about “beautiful” people on his Instagram Stories. The post quickly caught attention online, with many linking it to the widely shared party videos from the night before.

The quote read, “People are not beautiful for how they look or speak. They’re beautiful for how they love, care and treat others.” The image showed two monks smiling while holding hands. Brady added three red heart emojis and set the post to Lil Wayne’s song Let It All Work Out.

The New Year’s Eve moment that sparked it all

On December 31, Brady and Earle were spotted together at a New Year’s Eve party at a club in St. Barths. In clips shared online, the two appeared relaxed and playful. At one point, Earle could be seen leaning in to whisper something to Brady while resting her hand on his back. Both were laughing, clearly enjoying the moment.

The interaction didn’t take long to spread across social media. TMZ was the first outlet to report the sighting, and shortly after, fan accounts and celebrity pages began debating whether the two were simply friends or something more.

Alix Earle’s ‘good vibes’ prediction

Earlier that evening, Earle had posted a “Get Ready With Me” video on TikTok while doing her makeup for the party. In the clip, she casually mentioned that she was expecting “really good vibes” for the night — a line fans later joked sounded like she had manifested the viral moment.

By the next morning, clips from the party were everywhere, and Brady’s Instagram Story only added to the speculation.

What it means — and what it doesn’t

As of now, neither Brady nor Earle has commented on the rumours. There’s no confirmation of a relationship, and the Instagram post itself didn’t mention Earle directly. Still, the timing was enough to keep fans talking.

Whether it was just a fun New Year’s Eve or the start of something new, one thing is certain: a single night, a quiet Instagram Story, and a few seconds of video were all it took to set the internet buzzing.
