Alix Earle enjoyed soaking up the sun during her recent trip to St. Barth’s, where she was spotted with Tom Brady.
“It was really fun. I think it was the best trip of my entire life,” Earle, 25, shared in a YouTube video on Thursday, January 22, sharing that she stayed on a boat while on the vacation. “It was just such a fun time. It was a lot of new people, but just everyone was on the same vibes. Making friends, having fun. The girls were all really nice. It was just fun.”
Earle shared that she “knew a few people” heading into the trip.
“Most of them I had met, I just wasn’t very close with. I only met a few people for the first time,” Earle said, while her videographer quipped, “I’m trying to think what else to ask about it.” Earle laughed and replied, “Nothing.”
Earle and Brady, 48, made headlines earlier this month when they were spotted celebrating New Year’s Eve in St. Barth’s with several famous faces including Miles Teller, Glen Powell and Chord Overstreet.
“Alix and Tom were together the entire night on New Year’s Eve partying at a party hosted by Palm Tree Crew in St. Barths,” a source exclusively told Us Weekly earlier this month. “They met through mutual friends who were also in St. Barths and had an instant connection. There was a lot of chemistry between them.”
Since Earle and Brady’s joint celebration, a separate insider told Us that the pair “have still been texting” and noted that they “briefly” met up at the College Football National Championship held in Miami on January 19.
“They knew each other would be at the game, but it wasn’t a planned event together,” the source explained, noting that Brady was there working but ended up seeing Earle “at one point.”
The insider added that Earle is “having fun right now,” and is “into Tom but it’s still nothing serious.”
Neither Earle nor Brady have yet to publicly address where they stand. The former NFL player, who was previously married to model Gisele Bündchen from 2009 to 2022, did speak about his “personal life” in the weeks after their spotting. (Brady and Bündchen share two children, while he also is dad to son Jack, 18, with ex Bridget Moynahan.)
“You know what? I don’t have much time for a personal life or much time for myself, but I love working, and I love my kids,” Brady told People on January 14. “I like to be busy and try to really stay fulfilled in the things I’m doing, so I’m working on some really cool projects and I’m involved with some great teams of people that are doing some really positive things.”
Earle, for her part, was most recently in a relationship with Houston Texans player Braxton Berrios. She confirmed in December 2025 that the pair parted ways after two years of dating.
“Braxton and I are no longer together. We have been doing long distance since, basically, June and we haven’t got to see each other that often,” Earle said in a TikTok video posted at the time. “It’s just been really difficult for me. I think that was a scary thing for me to realize because it meant us not being in the same place.”
She continued, “A part of me also really wants to be focusing on myself right now. 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 wasn’t really expecting that of me … I constantly felt guilty.”
While Earle relocated to Los Angeles in 2025 while competing on Dancing With the Stars season 34 with partner Val Chmerkovskiy, Berrios splits his time between Florida and Texas. (Earle and Chmerkovskiy, 39, ultimately finished in second place, behind wildlife conservationist Robert Irwin and pro Witney Carson.)
“It just kinda feels like we’re on two different paths right now and it sucks,” Earle said. “We’re on good terms and I don’t want anyone to come for him or be mean to him. I think I ultimately just wanted to go with trusting my feelings. This has just been really hard. … It’s not because he did anything wrong or I did anything wrong. It just didn’t really feel like it was working out in the moment.”
