Who is Alix Earle? Social media star spotted with Tom Brady, their age difference will surprise you

Tom Brady, the seven-time Super Bowl champion and former New England Patriots quarterback, was spotted spending New Year’s Eve alongside social media influencer Alix Earle in St. Barths, according to PEOPLE, sparking widespread attention as videos surfaced showing the pair appearing close during the celebration.

In videos obtained by PEOPLE, Brady and Earle are seen chatting and dancing, with Earle smiling, leaning in to whisper in his ear and resting a hand on his back as the two laugh together.

In December, PEOPLE confirmed that Earle had split from her Houston Texans boyfriend Braxton Berrios after more than two years together, a breakup she later explained in a TikTok video.


“It’s just been really hard to process in general, and I think why I’ve been scared to say something is because I feel like it just makes it more real,” Earle said. “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.”

Who is Alix Earle?

Alix Ashley Earle is a 25-year-old American social media personality who rose to prominence through TikTok, where her candid “Get Ready With Me” videos, blending beauty routines with unfiltered commentary on her personal life, gained widespread traction. She has since become one of the platform’s most recognizable influencers.

Earle has amassed approximately 5 million followers on Instagram.

The pairing has also drawn attention because of the notable age difference between the two. Earle is 25, while Brady is 48, marking a 23-year age gap that has fueled discussion.

Brady, meanwhile, was linked to Irina Shayk in 2023 following his divorce from ex-wife Gisele Bündchen, who married Joaquim Valente in December and welcomed her third child, her first with Valente, in February.

"They've been hooking up this summer, having rendezvous in different cities. It's casual. She has a very active social calendar and likes to party and Tom is often with the kids and doesn't like the nightlife scene,” an insider told PEOPLE.
