The former NFL star and TikTok influencer were first linked in early 2026 when they were spotted attending a New Year’s Eve party hosted by Palm Tree Crew in St. Barths. A source told Us Weekly that Brady and Earl “were together all night.”
“They met through mutual friends who were also at St Barths and hit it off immediately,” they added. “There was a lot of chemistry between them.”
January 9th
A source told Entertainment Tonight that Earl and Brady enjoyed spending time together at a party in St. Barth’s, but they weren’t “going out of their way” to plan their next get-together.
“Alix was having so much fun at St. Barth’s and she and Tom were having so much fun together, but it was innocent,” the source explained. “They don’t go out of their way to make plans for the future. If they meet again by chance, there will be a natural atmosphere, but nothing serious.”
He added: “Alix’s friends were stirring it up and it was funny to her. She was having a good time and taking it easy on the holidays.”
January 14th
Brady did not comment on the rumors, but spoke about the current state of his personal life in an interview with People magazine.
“You know what? I don’t have a lot of time for a personal life or for myself, but I love my job and I love my kids,” Brady said. “I like to be busy and I like to stay really happy with what I’m doing, so I’m working on some really great projects and joining some great teams that are doing really positive things.”

On January 19, Brady and Earl were at the College Football National Championship in Miami. Bill Belichick’s girlfriend, Jordon Hudson, shared a photo with Earl in his suite at the game.
January 23rd
On January 23, a source confirmed to Us Weekly that the two met at an event and have been in touch since New Year’s Eve.

Brady was working at the event, but “at some point” they connected “briefly” to say hello.
“She’s having fun right now,” the source added. “She has a crush on Tom, but it’s not serious yet.”

February 5th
About a month after their breakup, Earle reflected on how her breakup with Braxton Berrios affected her in an online video. She announced in December that they had ended their relationship.
“It was very sad,” Earl said of the first few weeks after the breakup. “But I was also very new and emotional.”
She continued, “I feel like when things really slowed down and started to calm down, I was like, ‘Oh my god, I’m alone.'” And I learned that just because I’m sad doesn’t mean I made the wrong decision. I think it was a little difficult to wrap my head around it. ”
February 7th
Videos shared on social media over Super Bowl LX weekend showed Brady and Earl partying together, dancing and chatting.
February 8th
The next morning, Earl posted a video to his followers on Instagram in which he mentioned the party he went to with Brady, but did not mention Brady.
“We’re having the best weekend ever,” she said in the video. “Everything was so much fun. Last night’s party had a big dance floor and everyone was dancing. I tried not to drink too much last night because I knew I would be up and active this morning.”
February 9th
On the Monday after the Super Bowl, a source told People magazine that the two are “dating.”
Another source told TMZ that Brady and Earl “definitely” have “romantic chemistry.”
February 10th
A source told Us Weekly that Earl and Brady were romantically involved, but it was just casual.
“They are dating, but it’s nothing serious,” the source said. “It’s been going on ever since we first hung out together on New Year’s Eve, and we’ve gotten to know each other better over the past month.”
The source further added that their dynamic is, “It’s like a ‘when we’re in the same city’ situation with no restrictions. There’s chemistry and attraction, but neither of them wants anything serious. It’s casual. They’re just having fun without thinking too much.”
Although they enjoy each other’s company, they mainly link up when attending the same events. “They text each other about their future plans and where they will be when big events happen,” a source said, referring to the Super Bowl. “But (they) don’t really play together or spend much time alone outside of that.”
The source added that Earl “still spends a lot of time in Los Angeles and wants to remain single for now.”
