TikTok’s Alix Earle once dated a man twice her age, before the outing with Tom Brady
Even earlier Alex Earle‘s flirty New Year’s Eve with Tom Bradyshe wasn’t afraid to enter into a relationship with an age gap.
“I don’t think there’s anything wrong with that age difference,” Earle, 25, said on an April 2024 episode of Jake Shane‘Therapus’ podcastresponding to a 19 year old fan dating a 47 year old. “Sometimes I like an old man.”
Earle further revealed that she dated “someone a little older” when she was in college.
“He was like 45 when I was 20, but we only kissed because I was nervous,” the influencer explained, teasing that Shane, 26, “probably knows him,” but did not publicly identify him.
Nearly a year later, Earle was spotted getting cozy with Brady, 48, at a New Year’s Eve party.
“Alix and Tom were partying all night together on New Year’s Eve at a party hosted by Palm Tree Crew in St. Barths,” a source exclusively shared We weekly. “They met through mutual friends who were also in St. Barths and had an instant connection. There was a lot of chemistry between them.”
Although the insider noted that Earle “really enjoyed hanging out with Brady,” she has no plans to jump into a new relationship anytime soon.
“It’s nothing serious between her and Tom,” the source added. “They were laughing, dancing and partying together and enjoying it.”
Earle and NFL star Braxton Berrios split last month after almost two years together.
“Braxton and I are not together anymore. We’ve been long distance since June and we haven’t seen each other that much,” Earle said in a TikTok video shared in December 2025. “It was just really hard for me. I think that was scary for me to realize because it meant we weren’t in the same place.”
She continued at the time, “Part of me really wants to focus on myself right now, too. I just feel like I can’t be what Braxton needs. I want him to have someone who can be there for him 24/7 and support him. He didn’t really expect that from me… I felt guilty all the time.”
Earle previously moved to California in 2025 while training for Dancing with the stars season 34, where she ultimately finished in second place. Meanwhile, Berrios, 30, resides in Florida when he’s not playing professional football for the Houston Texans.

Although Berrios has not spoken extensively about what went wrong, Earle further stated in her social media video that they parted ways amicably.
“It kind of feels like we’re on two different paths now, and that sucks,” Earle said. “We’re on good terms and I don’t want anyone to come after him or be mean to him. I think in the end I just wanted to trust my feelings. This has just been really hard. … It’s not because he did something wrong or I did something wrong. It just didn’t really feel like it was working at the time.”
Former NFL quarterback Brady, in turn, was previously married Gisele Bundchenwith whom he shares two children, from 2009 to 2022. He also shares son Jack, 18, with ex Bridget Moynahan.
