Alix Earle's Dad Jokes About Tom Brady After Influencer's Flirty Night Out
Alix Earle’s father, Thomas “TJ” Earle, is playfully commenting on Tom Brady after the influencer was seen getting close to the former NFL star.
A TikTok video posted by TJ’s wife, Ashley Earle, showed her preparing while wearing a blue velvet blazer — which previously belonged to TJ’s wardrobe.
“I actually acquired that jacket because I noticed Tom Brady sporting a similar one,” TJ stated in the Saturday, January 3, clip, to which Ashley responded, “Are you kidding?” TJ affirmed, “I assure you.”
“You’re serious? … You know what, dear, you just say the silliest things. How ironic is that,” Ashley quipped as she continued her preparations, before cautioning that she wouldn’t be removing the joke from her public TikTok.

“The Tom Brady joke is hilarious,” one user wrote in the comments section of the video, to which Ashley replied, “This man is amusing lol.”
Alix was observed with Brady at a nightclub in St. Barts for New Year’s Eve, with a video obtained by TMZ showing the influencer whispering in the athlete’s ear.
“Alix and Tom spent the entire evening on New Year’s Eve celebrating at a party hosted by Palm Tree Crew in St. Barths,” a source exclusively told Us Weekly. “They were introduced through mutual acquaintances who were also in St. Barths and felt an immediate connection. There was a noticeable spark between them.”
The insider revealed that Alix was “genuinely enjoying” spending time with Brady, 48, but isn’t looking for a romantic relationship at the moment.
The insider shared that Alix was “not pursuing anything serious” with Tom. “They were together laughing, dancing and celebrating, having a good time.”

“There’s nothing substantial developing between Alix and Tom,” the source shared. “They were together enjoying themselves.”
Less than a month prior to the video gaining attention, multiple sources confirmed to Us that Alix and Braxton Berrios had ended their two-year relationship.
“A significant portion of their relationship was conducted at a distance and it proved challenging for them to manage,” one insider told Us in December 2025. “They mutually decided to go their separate ways.”
Alix addressed the split in an emotional video later that month.

“Braxton and I are no longer together. We’ve been apart since, essentially, June and haven’t been able to see each other very often,” Alix said at the time. “It’s been really difficult for me. I think that was a concerning realization because it meant us not being in the same location.”
She continued, “A part of me also really wants to be concentrating on myself right now. I just don’t feel like I can be what Braxton needs. I want him to have someone who can be there for him 24/7 and provide support. He wasn’t really expecting that of me … I constantly felt guilty.”
While Alix relocated to California for Dancing With the Stars earlier that year, Berrios was based in Florida when he’s not playing for the Houston Texans. (Alix and her partner Val Chmerkovskiy ultimately finished in second place.)
“It just feels like we’re on two different paths right now and it’s upsetting,” Alix said. “We’re on good terms and I don’t want anyone to criticize him or be unkind to him. I think I ultimately just wanted to trust my instincts. This has just been really tough. … It’s not because he did anything wrong or I did anything wrong. It just didn’t feel like it was working out at the time.”
