Alix Earle’s Caribbean New Year’s Eve has now become family joke material. A quick TikTok from her step-mom Ashley shows dad TJ linking his own fashion choice to the retired quarterback who was spotted whispering and dancing with Alix only nights earlier.
Dad’s Fashion Confession
In the Jan. 3 clip Ashley Earle, 40, films herself in a blue velvet blazer while getting ready. She tells the camera the jacket used to belong to TJ, prompting him to shout from off-screen: “I actually got that jacket because I saw Tom Brady wearing one like that.”
Ashley laughs, asking, “Are you joking?” TJ insists, “I swear to God,” leading her to shake her head and say, “You know what, honey, you just say the darnedest things.”
Ashley ends the video promising not to cut the exchange, letting the playful jab stand.
What Happened in St. Barths
Multiple videos obtained by News Of Los Angeles show the influencer and the seven-time Super Bowl champion at the same island party:
- Alix leans in to whisper to Brady
- She rubs his back while they talk
- The two dance together as she flashes a grin
A source confirmed both attended the event and “looked cozy.”
Social-Mideast Hints
Alix posted her holiday recap Jan. 3, captioning the reel: “Rumor has it we’re still dancing 🕺🕺 new friends, new memories, and new beginnings to start off the new year :)”
Brady shared a reflective Instagram Story on Jan. 1: “People are not beautiful for how they look or speak. They’re beautiful for how they love, care, and treat others.”
Recent Relationship Status
Alix and Houston Texans wide receiver Braxton Berrios ended their two-year relationship in early December, citing long distance during her Dancing with the Stars run. Brady finalized his divorce from Gisele Bündchen in 2022 and last summer was “casually hooking up” with model Brooks Nader.
