Alix Earle Fuels Romance Rumors with Tom Brady After New Year's Eve Dance

Alix Earle is still enjoying the buzz from celebrating the New Year with NFL legend Tom Brady.

After the pair were filmed dancing together and appearing affectionate on New Year’s Eve in St. Barts, the Dancing With the Stars participant, 25, seemingly alluded to speculation about her romantic life through an Instagram recap of her vacation.

“It’s being said that we’re still dancing; new friends, new memories, and new beginnings to kick off the new year; words can’t express how incredible this trip was,” Earle hinted.

The former host of “Hot Mess with Alix Earle” expressed gratitude to her friends Brad Garlinghouse, Tara Garlinghouse and Myles Shear for hosting “the best New Year’s party EVER” on the Caribbean island.

Earle also shared a collection of photos from her trip, including several images of herself relaxing in a red bikini. In other pictures, Earle is seen socializing with several well-known figures, including Keleigh Teller and Michelle Randolph.

Footage captured on New Year’s Eve showed Earle and Brady spending time together at the same holiday gathering, where the influencer could be seen placing her hand on Brady’s back and whispering something in his ear.

Brady, 48, appeared to respond to the widespread attention surrounding his and Earle’s New Year’s Eve dance, as he posted a thoughtful quote via his Instagram Story on Thursday, January 1.

“People are not beautiful based on their appearance or how they communicate. They’re beautiful based on how they love, care and treat others,” Brady’s Instagram Story read.

Us Weekly exclusively reported on Friday, January 2, that Brady and Earle experienced an “immediate connection” when they encountered each other at the holiday celebration.

“Alix and Tom were together throughout the entire night on New Year’s Eve celebrating at a party hosted by Palm Tree Crew in St. Barts,” a source exclusively told Us. “They were introduced by mutual acquaintances who were also in St. Barts and felt a strong connection. There was noticeable chemistry between them.”

The insider revealed that Earle was “genuinely enjoying spending time with” Brady, although neither was necessarily seeking a relationship at the time.

“It’s nothing serious between her and Tom, but they were together laughing, dancing and celebrating, having a good time,” the source indicated.

Us also learned that Earle is in a “phase of embracing enjoyable experiences and not overanalyzing anything” following her split from NFL player Braxton Berrios in December.

“She’s simply having fun right now and letting loose,” the source told Us. “She has been in high spirits throughout her vacation and seems happy and ready to enjoy herself again.”

Earle addressed her breakup with Berrios in a heartfelt TikTok video on December 14, where she stated she “can’t be what Braxton needs.” The influencer explained that she wants to spend more time in Los Angeles, while the NFL player typically spends most of his free time in Florida when he’s not playing for the Houston Texans.

“I want him to have someone who can be there for him 24/7 and provide support,” Earle explained to her TikTok followers. “He wasn’t really expecting that from me; I constantly felt guilty.”

She added, “It just feels like we’re on different paths right now and it’s difficult. We’re on good terms and I don’t want anyone to criticize him or be unkind to him.”

Meanwhile, Brady was recently connected to supermodel Brooks Nader, though she dismissed the rumors during a recent appearance on Watch What Happens Live With Andy Cohen. (Tom shares son, Jack, 18, with his former girlfriend Bridget Moynahan, as well as son Benjamin, 16, and daughter Vivian, 13, with his former wife Gisele Bündchen. Brady and Bündchen finalized their divorce in 2022 after 13 years of marriage.)
