Alix Earle is still riding high off of ringing in the New Year with NFL great Tom Brady.
After the two were filmed dancing together and getting cozy on New Year’s Eve in St. Barts, the Dancing With the Stars alum, 25, seemingly referenced chatter about her love life via an Instagram recap of her getaway.
“Rumor has it we’re still dancing 🕺🕺 new friends, new memories, and new beginnings to start off the new year 🙂 words can’t describe how amazing this trip was,” Earle teased.
The former “Hot Mess with Alix Earle” host thanked her friends Brad Garlinghouse, Tara Garlinghouse and Myles Shear for throwing the “the best nye party EVER” on the Caribbean island.
Earle also shared a carousel of photos from her trip, including multiple shots of herself lounging in a red bikini. In other snaps, Earle can be seen hanging out with some famous pals, including Keleigh Teller and Michelle Randolph.
Viral footage shot on New Year’s Eve showed Earle and Brady hanging out at the same holiday party, where the influencer could be seen placing her hand on Brady’s back and whispering in his ear.
Brady, 48, seemingly reacted to breaking the internet with his and Earle’s New Year’s Eve dance, as he shared a cryptic quote via his Instagram Story on Thursday, January 1.
“People are not beautiful for how they look or speak. They’re beautiful for how they love, care and treat others,” his Instagram Story read.
Alix Earle Wanted ‘Good Vibes’ on New Year’s Eve Before Meeting Tom Brady
Us Weekly exclusively reported on Friday, January 2, that Brady and Earle had an “instant connection” when they crossed paths at the holiday celebration.
“Alix and Tom were together the entire night on New Year’s Eve partying at a party hosted by Palm Tree Crew in St. Barts,” a source exclusively told Us. “They met through mutual friends who were also in St. Barts and had an instant connection. There was a lot of chemistry between them.”
The insider revealed that Earle was “really into hanging out with” Brady, though neither one was necessarily looking for a relationship at the time.
“It’s nothing serious between her and Tom, but they were together laughing, dancing and partying, enjoying themselves,” the source indicated.
Us also learned that Earle is in a “phase of saying yes to fun experiences and not overthinking anything” following her split from NFL star Braxton Berrios in December.
“She’s just having fun right now and letting loose,” the source told Us. “She has been in great spirits while on vacation and seems happy and ready to have fun again.”

Earle broke her silence about splitting up with Berrios in a tearful TikTok video on December 14, in which she said she “can’t be what Braxton needs.” The influencer explained that she wants to spend more time in Los Angeles, while the NFL star spends most of his downtime in Florida when he’s not playing for the Houston Texans.
“I want him to have someone who can be there for him 24/7 and support him,” Earle explained to her TikTok followers. “He wasn’t really expecting that of me … I constantly felt guilty.”
She added, “It just kinda feels like we’re on two different paths right now and it sucks. We’re on good terms and I don’t want anyone to come for him or be mean to him.”
Meanwhile, Brady was recently linked to supermodel Brooks Nader , though she brushed off the rumors during a recent appearance on Watch What Happens Live With Andy Cohen. (Tom shares son, Jack, 18, with his ex-girlfriend Bridget Moynahan, as well as son Benjamin, 16, and daughter Vivian, 13, with his ex-wife Gisele Bündchen. Brady and Bündchen finalized their divorce in 2022 after 13 years of marriage.)
