Alix Earle, 25, has admitted that she leans toward older men when it comes to dating, and seemed to hint at her rumored romance with Tom Brady, 48.
“I dated a guy a year older than me. I can’t do that again,” Earl said on Thursday’s episode of the YouTube series “Get Real with Me,” adding, “That will never happen.”
Quenlyn Blackwell, also 25, who joined Earl on the episode, agreed, saying, “I don’t date men my age.”
In a discussion with Blackwell, the influencer said that while dating men close to her age, she “didn’t feel like[I was]with a man.”
Elsewhere in the discussion, the two agreed that they were “too grown up” for men their age.
Earle also confessed that she leans toward older men because she wants “someone who takes care of her” and “someone who knows her place.”
She also admitted that her dating preferences can be “over the top” when it comes to age. “Sometimes I get too far on the other side and I’m like, ‘Grandpa!’” she laughed.
Earl split from NFL player Braxton Berrios, 30, in December after dating for two years, but rumors of her dating Brady first surfaced after the two were spotted at a yacht party in St. Barts on New Year’s Eve.
A source told Page Six at the time that the “Dancing with the Stars” alum and the NFL analyst “split up” before “heading to a private cabin together to talk.”
Another source said: “They met while attending a yacht party and kept talking all night away from the large group.”
A source exclusively told Us in February that the two were enjoying a “fun” but “not very serious” affair, but noted it was more than just a casual relationship.
The source said the father-of-three, who divorced ex-wife Gisele Bündchen in 2022, is “very particular” and “deliberately” a “perfectionist” and has no intention of “dating just anyone.”
The two were spotted getting cozy at a private Super Bowl party in February, with the former quarterback putting his arm around the media personality and then appearing to grab her butt as they danced and chatted.
The two were spotted attending the same Super Bowl weekend party several times, but were never photographed together on the red carpet.
Brady then sparked dating rumors with Scooter Braun’s ex Yael Cohen in March, but Earl doesn’t seem to be affected by it.
“Alix and Tom have never been serious, and their relationship has always been casual, with a ‘see you when we meet’ vibe,” a source told Us Weekly at the time.
“She enjoys doing her own thing and isn’t worried about whether Tom is seeing other people or the nature of their relationship.”
