Insider Opens Up About Alix Earle’s Affectionate Moment With Tom Brady

What started as a glamorous New Year’s Eve celebration in St. Barts quickly became one of the most high-profile moments of the year.

When videos surfaced showing the TikTok star Alix Earle And NFL legend Tom Brady sharing a flirty, hands-on moment at an ultra-exclusive beach party, speculation exploded online.

Now, insiders are shedding light on what really happened that night, how both sides reacted, and why that attention might complicate what was supposed to be carefree fun.

Brady and Alix rang in the New Year surrounded by famous friends at a private beach party in St. Barts, but it was their interaction that stole the show.

Footage showing Alix rubbing Brady’s back and the former quarterback pulling her closer by the waist quickly spread online, sparking widespread speculation about their connection.

An insider close to Alix confirmed that the influencer enjoyed the moment, describing the interaction as light-hearted rather than calculated.

“She said she was just having fun,” the source told Daily Mail. They added: “She’s definitely one to laugh [the viral moment]. It’s typical of Alix, she doesn’t do anything wrong. I just enjoy spending time with him and yes, getting affectionate.

Despite their 23-year age gap and Alix’s preference for dating men closer to her age, the source claimed that Brady is “100 percent her type,” noting that the social media diva is “open to possibilities” and “might have a new perspective on dating as the new year approaches.”

Even though the flirting seemed playful, the attention it garnered may already be creating tension behind the scenes.

Tom Brady, now in the second season of his ten-year, $375 million broadcast deal with Fox, is known for protecting his privacy.

This approach stands in stark contrast to Alix Earle’s brand, which thrives on transparency and constant sharing online.

Although the 25-year-old didn’t directly address the viral images, she did post photos from the St. Barts event that excluded Brady.

His caption alluded to a transformative experience without naming it.

“Rumor has it we’re still dancing. New friends, new memories and new beginnings to start the new year. Words can’t describe how amazing this trip has been…the best Christmas party ever!!!” Alice wrote.

Further fueling the buzz, Alix’s family seemed to lean into the moment rather than shy away from it.

His father, Thomas “TJ” Earle, casually named Brady in a TikTok video filmed at home.

As Alix’s mother-in-law Ashley posed for one of TJ’s navy blazers, he admitted, “I actually bought this jacket because I saw Tom Brady wearing one like that.”

Ashley, visibly stunned, replied: “Are you kidding? before TJ insisted: “I swear to God.”

Laughing, she added, “Are you serious? You know what, honey…you’re just saying the darndest things. How ironic.”

According to close sources, the family is excited about the possibility of the 48-year-old being more than just a passing presence.

“Friends and family are excited about her dating Tom,” a source said.

The timing of this viral moment also raised eyebrows, given Alix Earle’s recent split from NFL player Braxton Berrios.

The two ended their relationship in early December 2025 after struggling with long distance, although Alix moved into his Miami home earlier in the year.

In an emotional atmosphere TikTokshe confirmed the breakup, telling her followers, “Braxton and I are no longer together. We’ve been going long distance since pretty much June and we haven’t had a chance to see each other very often.”

The TikToker admitted the reality had been difficult to accept, adding that it had been “really hard to process in general.”
