NFL legend Tom Brady rang in the New Year alongside social media influencer Alix Earle, sparking widespread attention after the pair were spotted together in St. Barths, according to PEOPLE.
Videos obtained by the outlet show the seven-time Super Bowl champion and the TikTok star chatting and dancing during New Year’s Eve celebrations. In the clips, Earle is seen smiling, leaning in to speak to Brady, and resting her hand on his back as the two appear relaxed and engaged with one another.
The public sighting quickly drew attention online, particularly due to the notable age difference between the two. Brady, a former New England Patriots quarterback, is in his late 40s, while Earle is in her mid-20s — a gap that surprised many fans across social media.
Alix Earle is one of the most recognizable names in the influencer space, known for her viral TikTok content focused on lifestyle, fashion, and candid personal moments. She has built a massive following over the past few years and is often credited with shaping online beauty and lifestyle trends.
The New Year’s Eve appearance comes shortly after Earle’s recent breakup. In December, PEOPLE confirmed that she had split from NFL wide receiver Braxton Berrios of the Houston Texans after more than two years together. Earle later addressed the breakup in a TikTok video, describing the challenges of maintaining a long-distance relationship.
“It’s just been really hard to process in general,” Earle shared. “Braxton and I are no longer together. We have been doing long distance since basically June and we haven’t gotten to see each other that often.”
Neither Brady nor Earle has publicly commented on the nature of their New Year’s Eve interaction. For now, their appearance together has simply added fuel to online speculation as fans continue to dissect the viral clips.
