Tom Brady is reportedly facing warnings from friends after rumors began circulating about a possible romance with social media influencer Alix Earle.
The former NFL quarterback recently sparked speculation when he was spotted dancing and getting close with the 25-year-old influencer during Super Bowl festivities. According to reports, the two were seen cuddling together at a party in San Francisco, drawing attention from fans and cameras alike.
While neither Brady nor Earle has publicly confirmed a relationship, the sightings quickly fueled conversation online. Now, sources claim people in Brady’s inner circle are urging him to proceed cautiously.
According to a RadarOnline report, some of Brady’s friends believe Earle may be using the connection to boost her profile.
“Everyone in his circle is buzzing about how Alix is way too thirsty,” a source claimed, describing the reaction among people close to the retired football star.
Brady’s friends are said to be protective of him and wary of the motivations of people who enter his life, particularly individuals whose careers depend heavily on social media visibility.
“People around Tom are very protective of him,” the insider reportedly said. “They worry that he can be a little naïve about how things work now, especially with influencers.”
Observers also pointed to the fact that cameras seemed to capture several intimate moments between the pair during Super Bowl events.
One source questioned whether the timing of those moments was purely coincidental.
“Isn’t it funny she always seems to find the cameras when they’re having what would normally be a private moment?” the insider suggested.
Earle rose to prominence on TikTok through her viral “Get Ready With Me” videos and has since built a massive online following. Her content often gives viewers a glimpse into her daily routines, fashion choices, and social life.
Some of Brady’s associates reportedly believe the rumored connection could help Earle expand her brand.
“Definitely a brand-building moment for her,” the source claimed.
Before the recent rumors involving Brady, Earle had been dating NFL player Braxton Berrios. The pair reportedly split earlier, which insiders say may have coincided with Earle focusing more on growing her personal brand.
The speculation surrounding Brady and Earle intensified after they were reportedly seen together at a New Year’s Eve party in St. Barts.
Brady has largely kept his personal life private since his highly publicized split from supermodel Gisele Bündchen. The former couple finalized their divorce in 2022 after more than a decade of marriage.
According to the report, some people close to Brady would prefer to see him with someone closer to his own age and outside the influencer spotlight.
“Tom is very private,” the source said. “His inner circle would rather see him date someone more low-key, not someone chasing fame.”
