Alix Earle and Tom Brady Spark Romance Rumors on New Year's Eve in St Barths
Alix Earle and Tom Brady spent New Year’s Eve getting to know each other.
“Alix and Tom were together throughout the entire evening on New Year’s Eve celebrating at a party hosted by Palm Tree Crew in St. Barths,” a source exclusively tells Us Weekly. “They were introduced by mutual acquaintances who were also in St. Barths and felt an immediate connection. There was a noticeable spark between them.”
The insider adds that Earle, 25, was “genuinely enjoying” spending time with Brady, 48, but isn’t seeking “a committed relationship” following her recent separation from Braxton Berrios.
“There’s nothing serious developing between her and Tom, but they were together laughing, dancing and celebrating, having a good time,” the source explains.

Brady, meanwhile, appeared “reserved” about being photographed with Earle in public “but didn’t want to be apart from her.”
According to the insider, Earle “needed” the post-breakup vacation to St. Barths and the influencer “is embracing a period of saying yes to enjoyable experiences and not overanalyzing anything.”
“She’s simply having fun right now and letting go,” the source says. “She has been in excellent spirits throughout her vacation and appears happy and eager to enjoy herself again.”
Earle and Brady became a topic of discussion after they were seen appearing affectionate while welcoming in 2026 at a nightclub on the tropical island, as shown in video footage obtained by TMZ. In the clip, Earle was observed whispering something into the retired football player’s ear.
After speculation about a potential romance began, Brady shared a thoughtful message on social media.
“Individuals are not beautiful based on their appearance or how they communicate. They are beautiful based on how they love, care for, and treat others,” read the quote shared via Brady’s Instagram Story on Thursday, January 1.
Just a month prior to Earle’s trip with Brady, Us confirmed that she and Berrios ended their relationship after two years together.
“[The] majority of their relationship involved being apart and it proved challenging for them to manage,” an insider exclusively told Us at the time. “They mutually decided to end the relationship.”
Earle was residing in Los Angeles while participating in the 34th season of Dancing With the Stars, where she finished as runner-up. Berrios, who plays in the NFL for the Houston Texans, lives in Florida during the offseason.

Later in December, Earle addressed her and Berrios’ separation.
“Braxton and I are no longer together,” she told her followers in a TikTok video. “We’ve been doing long distance since, essentially, June and we haven’t been able to see each other very often. It’s been really difficult for me.”
Earle explained that she and Berrios were “moving in” different directions in life but remain on friendly terms post-split.
“We’re on good terms and I don’t want anyone to criticize him or be unkind to him,” she continued. “I think I ultimately just wanted to trust my instincts. This has just been really hard. … It’s not a dramatic situation. It’s not because he did anything wrong or I did anything wrong. It just didn’t feel like it was working out, at this time.”
