Alix Earle and Tom Brady Spark Romance Rumors on New Year’s Eve

Alix Earle and Tom Brady were observed together on New Year’s Eve.

According to a video obtained by TMZ, Earle, 25, and Brady, 48, were spotted at a nightclub in St. Barts as they celebrated the new year on Wednesday, December 31. Earle wore a gown while Brady sported a blue jacket and matching trousers.

In the footage, the pair appeared to be getting quite close. At one point, Earle was seen whispering into Brady’s ear and placing her hand on his back as they stood amongst the crowd.

Earle’s night out with Brady comes roughly a month after her separation from Braxton Berrios, who plays for the Houston Texans. Us Weekly reported in December 2025 that Earle and Berrios ended their relationship after two years of dating.

“[The] majority of their relationship involved being apart and it proved challenging for them to navigate,” an insider exclusively told Us regarding the pair’s split. “They mutually decided to go their separate ways.”

Earle was located in Los Angeles as she participated on Dancing With the Stars season 34, where she finished in second place. Berrios, for his part, resides in Florida during the offseason.

That same month, Earle addressed the news of her and Berrios’ split.

“Braxton and I are no longer a couple,” she tearfully told her fans via TikTok at the time. “We have been doing long distance since, essentially, June and we haven’t been able to see each other very often. It’s just been really tough for me.”

Days later, Earle shared a sultry photograph of her wearing a bikini while enjoying a trip to a tropical destination with her friends in honor of her birthday.

“I’m very thankful to simply be with my friends right now,” she said, admitting that she almost cancelled the trip. “Yesterday I was sitting on my couch and I felt, like, unwell. I just was so consumed by my thoughts and sad, but numb.”

Earle added, “Being around my friends right now means everything.”

Brady, for his part, was previously married to Gisele Bündchen from 2009 to 2022. The former couple share son Benjamin, 16, and daughter Vivian, 13. (The retired football player is also father to son Jack, 18, whom he welcomed with ex Bridget Moynahan.)

Since his split from Bündchen, Brady has been linked to Kim Kardashian, Brooks Nader and others. However, Us previously reported that Nader and Brady did not date or have a romantic connection. Instead, a source told Us that Nader and Brady briefly conversed at billionaire Michael Rubin’s annual 4th of July party back in 2024.

Late last year, Bündchen exchanged vows with boyfriend Joaquim Valente. The model and Valente began dating following her divorce from Brady.

“This is the first time I am seeing someone that was a friend of mine first,” Bündchen told The New York Times in March 2024. “It’s very different. It is very honest, and it’s very transparent.”

Just one year later, the couple welcomed their first child together in February 2025.

Following news of Bündchen and Valente’s wedding, Brady posted a selfie of him wearing a hoodie that read “forever young.”

“Yuppppppp 💯,” the former quarterback captioned his upload, setting the post to Logic’s song “1-800-273-8255.”
