Alix Earle shares mysterious post after being spotted with Tom Brady
If Alix Earle wanted to squash gossip that she’s dating Tom Brady, her strategy is failing miserably.
That’s thanks to her recent Instagram post showing off an “amazing trip” to the exotic island of St. Barts in the Caribbean Sea.
On Sunday, Earle begins her vacation carousel posing in a red bikini on a boat. Snaps also include her flying on a small plane, sunning on a lounge chair and partying at a club.
Brady wasn’t seen in any of the influencer’s photos, but TMZ has footage of Earle and the NFL icon looking cozy at a dark club that looked mighty similar to the one she shared.
UsWeekly reports that they both attended a New Year’s Eve party hosted by lifestyle brand Palm Tree Crew, which owns the Palm Tree Club in North Bay Village.
“They met through mutual friends who were also in St. Barts and had an instant connection,” a source told the outlet. “There was a lot of chemistry.”
Earle’s cryptic caption? “Rumor has it we’re still dancing. New friends, new memories, and new beginnings to start off the new year.”
“NEW FRIENDS?” Do we need more clues than that there may be a new couple in the 305? In actuality, this (possible) May-December pairing makes sense in some respects, and we are sorta here for it.
Both Earle, 25, and Brady, 48, are as single as it gets. The “Dancing with the Stars” runner-up recently split with former Dolphins wide receiver Braxton Berrios, who was traded to the Houston Texans over the summer. Their relationship quickly became geographically unattractive, and the baller was conspicuously MIA during her successful run on the L.A. based reality competition.
As for Brady, he’s been linked to a handful of lovelies since his highly publicized divorce from Gisele Bundchen in October 2022 (including Kim Kardashian and Irina Shayk), but nothing has stuck.
Ah, yes. Naysayers will note the age difference. Brady has two kids with Bundchen, and one with another ex, actress Bridget Moynahan. Earle, a University of Miami graduate, is in the prime of her life with zero baggage, and would have to eventually step into the role of stepmom if things progressed.
The pluses? Both love the spotlight, are GOATs in their chosen professions and — the big one — don’t have to travel far to see one another for dates.
Now, if you were looking to Brady to dispel the rumors about his love life, you’d be barking up the wrong tree.
In his end-of-year reflection on Instagram, the football legend strikes various poses with his family, writing about his personal development over the last 12 months.
Read between the lines: Is he also talking about a possible “new friend?”
“Growth doesn’t really happen unless you’re willing to challenge yourself physically, mentally, and emotionally,” read Brady’s post. “True growth only happens outside your comfort zone … And when you surround yourself with people that inspire you to dig deeper and reach farther than you thought, you’ll be amazed at how far you can go.”
