Tom Brady might be kicking off 2026 with more than just a tropical getaway. The retired NFL legend, 46, has sparked major dating buzz after being spotted getting cozy with 23-year-old TikTok star Alix Earle during a New Year’s Eve celebration in St. Barths.
The sighting comes just weeks after Brady’s ex-wife, Gisele Bündchen, made headlines for remarrying jiu-jitsu instructor Joaquim Valente and welcoming a baby boy in early 2025. In the wake of that news, Brady drew concern from fans when he posted two Instagram Stories featuring Logic’s “1-800-273-8255”—a song about mental health and emotional reflection—leaving followers wondering how the NFL icon was coping with his ex’s new chapter.
Now, new footage obtained by TMZ shows Brady appearing in good spirits as he partied alongside Earle in the Caribbean. In one clip, the influencer leans in close, whispering in his ear and resting a hand on his back as the two dance. Another shot captures Brady laughing as Earle throws him a playful over-the-shoulder glance—a fleeting moment that’s sent social media into a frenzy.
The rumored pairing has raised eyebrows not only for its star power but also for the pair’s 23-year age gap. Earle, a TikTok powerhouse with millions of followers, recently ended a two-year relationship with Houston Texans wide receiver Braxton Berrios, 28. Brady, meanwhile, has maintained a relatively private love life since his brief link to supermodel Irina Shayk in 2023.
While neither Brady nor Earle has commented on their St. Barths rendezvous, fans are already dissecting every frame of the viral clips, debating whether this is just a friendly connection—or the start of 2026’s most unexpected romance. For now, the world’s most famous quarterback and the social media “it girl” have become the internet’s newest obsession.
