Tom Brady And Alix Earle Spark Romance Rumors In St. Barths

It’s the kind of celebrity encounter that sparks a thousand headlines and even more social media speculation: on New Year’s Eve 2025, NFL legend Tom Brady and social media star Alix Earle were spotted together in St. Barths, sending the rumor mill into overdrive. Videos and eyewitness reports from outlets like TMZ, People, and Star all confirm that the two were more than just passing acquaintances at the glitzy Caribbean bash, with body language and candid moments fueling questions about whether a new romance is blooming—or if it was simply a festive night among friends.

Tom Brady, 48, has been one of the most eligible bachelors in the public eye since his 2022 divorce from supermodel Gisele Bündchen. Over the past few years, he’s been linked to a handful of high-profile women, including Irina Shayk and Brooks Nader, but has never publicly confirmed a new relationship. Alix Earle, 25, meanwhile, is a rising star in her own right, having built a massive following on TikTok and recently competing on season 34 of Dancing with the Stars. Her recent split from Houston Texans wide receiver Braxton Berrios in December 2025 was still fresh when she rang in the new year in St. Barths.

According to reports from TMZ and corroborated by Star and the Daily Mail, Brady and Earle were seen together several times throughout the night at a yacht party and later at a club. Video footage shows Earle whispering in Brady’s ear and rubbing his back, while Brady reciprocated with affectionate gestures—placing his hand on her lower waist and leaning in close as they danced. At one point, according to an insider quoted by Page Six, the pair broke off from the larger group and retreated to a private cabin for a more intimate conversation. “Tom and Alix were all over each other,” a source told Star. “She couldn’t keep her hands off him.” The source continued, “He kept leaning in, whispering in her ear. It looked like they kissed. She was rubbing his back really affectionately. The PDA was off the charts. They didn’t care who was watching.”

While the videos and eyewitness accounts are compelling, neither Brady nor Earle has commented publicly on the nature of their relationship. Their respective representatives did not respond to requests for comment from major outlets, including TMZ and People. That hasn’t stopped fans—and the internet at large—from speculating. On Alix Earle’s TikTok and Instagram posts from St. Barths, followers flooded the comments with questions: “ALIX WHY WERE YOU WITH TOM BRADY,” one wrote, while others demanded she “spill the tea.” Earle, for her part, has remained coy, sharing photos and videos of her New Year’s festivities (including a nod to college football) but excluding any shots of Brady.

The timing of this high-profile encounter is notable. Earle’s breakup with Berrios, which she announced in an emotional TikTok video on December 13, 2025, was the result of a challenging long-distance relationship. “Braxton and I are no longer together,” she said, her voice breaking. “We have been doing long distance since basically June and we haven’t gotten to see each other that often. It’s just been really difficult for me.” She added, “I want him to have someone with him 24/7 who can support him and be there for him. I love Braxton. He’s my best friend. So, it’s been really difficult as we’re trying to go forward with this. It just kinda feels like we’re on two different paths right now and it sucks. We’re on good terms and I don’t want anyone to come for him or to be mean to him.”

For Brady, the New Year’s Eve party comes after a year of transition. In addition to his ongoing work as a Fox Sports analyst, he’s watched as his ex-wife, Gisele Bündchen, remarried in December 2025 to Joaquim Valente and welcomed her third child—her first with Valente—earlier in the year. Brady himself has posted on Instagram about his gratitude for family and career, but has kept his personal life largely private. After the news of Bündchen’s marriage, he shared Instagram Story posts set to Logic’s “1-800-273-8255,” a song associated with mental health support, hinting at the emotional complexities of his post-divorce life.

So, what’s really going on between Brady and Earle? Despite the public displays of affection and the undeniable chemistry captured on camera, there’s no official word that they’re a couple. Gossip columns and celebrity news sites have been careful to note that while the two were “super close” and “all over each other” during the party, neither has confirmed a romantic relationship. As TMZ put it, “Speculating on celebrity gossip is a sticky wicket, so we’ll just share what TMZ saw and let you draw whatever conclusions you may have.”

Adding to the intrigue, Earle has been open about focusing on herself and her career post-breakup. In a TikTok video, she explained, “A part of me also really wants to be focusing on myself right now. I just feel like I can’t be what Braxton needs.” Her appearance on Dancing with the Stars—where she placed second behind Robert Irwin—and her busy schedule as a content creator have kept her in the public eye. Even her New Year’s Eve outfit, a glamorous deep-plunge gown paired with towering eight-inch heels, was the subject of much discussion among her followers.

Meanwhile, Brady’s dating life has been the subject of speculation ever since his split from Bündchen. He’s been linked to models and celebrities, but has yet to publicly confirm a new relationship. For now, the only certainty is that his night with Earle has reignited the public’s fascination with his personal life. The sight of the NFL icon and the TikTok sensation dancing, laughing, and whispering to each other in St. Barths has given fans and gossip columnists plenty to talk about as 2026 gets underway.

Whether this was the start of something new or simply a memorable New Year’s Eve for two high-profile singles, the story of Tom Brady and Alix Earle’s night in St. Barths is a reminder of just how quickly celebrity rumors can catch fire—and how, sometimes, the truth is best left to those who lived it.
