Alix Earle may have traded one football player for another.
On New Year’s Eve, St. Bart’s became a hot spot for celebrities and billionaires; Earle was there for the second year in a row alongside her girlfriends. Brady, along with other famous celebrities like Leonardo DeCaprio, were on the Carribean island as well, partying on yachts to celebrate the New Year. Because of photos that began circulating online of the two at a nightclub holding hands and dancing, rumors that the two are together have begun swirling online. Neither Earle or Brady has made any public statement about the rumors.
Brady, considered the greatest quarterback of all time, winning seven Super Bowls with the New England Patriots and one with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, “retired” after 20 seasons with the Patriots in 2022. Just 40 days after his announcement, he returned for his twenty-third season with the Bucs, declaring there was “unfinished business.”
Brady’s romantic life has long made headlines as well; he was married to Gisele Bündchen, Brazilian supermodel and entrepreneur, for 13 years. The couple divorced in Oct. 2022, and after having two children, Ben and Vivian. Since then, Brady has been linked to Irina Shayk, Sydney Sweeney, and Brooks Nader. He had his eldest son, Jack, with his ex-girlfriend, actress Bridget Moynahan.
In Dec. 2025, Earle and Braxton Barrios, wide receiver for the Houston Texans, called it quits after two years of dating
Liza Hampson, a freshman at Elon University and 2025 Williston alum from Amherst, Mass., thinks that Earle is just enjoying her post-breakup life.
“I think that Alix is trying to have a good time and live her life,” she said. “She’s newly single and I mean if I went from a not so good player to the greatest quarterback of all time, then I’d definitely be happy with where I was at. She’s young and has a lot going for her, so why not live how you want to, and if that means partying with Tom Brady, then so be it!”
Lila Parsons, a sophomore, is thrilled for Earle but worried about Earle and Brady’s age gap.
“I think it’s amazing how she’s living her life and how she was able to create such an amazing lifestyle from just TikTok,” she said. “Tom Brady is very talented and anyone would be thrilled to party with him in St. Bart’s. I’m happy for her, but the only odd thing is their age gap, considering he’s the same age as her dad, around 50, and she just turned 25. He also does have three kids who really aren’t that much younger than her. I think she’s doing well and I’m curious what they both will have to say to the media.”
Earle’s father, TJ, is 49. Brady is 48.
Though nobody has confirmed or denied the rumors thus far, Alix’s father jokingly made a comment about the rumors in a TikTok that Ashley Earle, his wife (and Alix’s stepmother), posted, referencing a blazer he bought because Brady had a similar one. This light hearted comment made people laugh while adding to the speculations.
In 2026, Brady is estimated to be worth around $300 to $350 million. He made around $333 million throughout his 23 seasons in the NFL. Earle’s net worth is around $20 million as of late 2025. From TikTok, she’s estimated to have made around $8 million. For one Instagram story she makes around $450,000.
