Alix Earle told her TikTok followers she was “foreseeing really good vibes” for her New Year’s Eve in St. Barts. Hours later, social media videos put her next to Tom Brady in close conversation, and the internet did what it always does.Here is what’s actually been reported so far, and what Earle herself said on camera before the Brady footage went viral, based on reporting from Us Weekly, Page Six, and PEOPLE, with TMZ also publishing video.
Alix Earle’s ‘good vibes’ TikTok dropped before she was seen with Tom Brady in St. Barts
Earle, 25, posted a “get ready with me” TikTok on Wednesday, Dec. 31, while spending time in St. Barts with friends. She said the group had been staying on a boat and planned to go to a party on land, where Calvin Harris was playing.In the same video, Earle talked through the logistics of the night, including her outfit choices and why she went with high heels. She said, “The place we’re going is on the beach. I think my dress is a little too formal for what we’re doing, and I think other people are wearing flats or platforms and I have literally eight-inch heels because this dress did not fit me, and I didn’t have time to get it tailored.”Then came the line that now reads like foreshadowing to anyone who saw the later clips. Earle said, “I’m foreseeing really good vibes for tonight,” and she described a low-key day on the trip, adding, “We pretty much spent all day today just laying out, chilling. We worked out in the morning, we did Pilates … but it was good.”After the party started, multiple outlets reported and published footage showing Earle and Brady together.PEOPLE reported that Earle and Brady were at the same event in St. Barths on Dec. 31 and that they were “hanging out and looking cozy,” citing a source. PEOPLE said videos obtained by the outlet showed the two chatting and dancing, and described Earle leaning in to whisper in Brady’s ear and rubbing his back, with both laughing. PEOPLE also noted that TMZ first reported the news and said representatives did not immediately comment.Page Six also reported on the St. Barts night, saying sources described Earle and Brady spending time together at a yacht party and breaking off from the larger group to talk. Page Six added that TMZ posted video of the pair at a St. Barts club and that an Instagram gossip account posted video of them inside a club.None of that confirms a relationship. It confirms what the videos show and what sources claimed to entertainment outlets: they were together, close, and talking for a long stretch on New Year’s Eve.
The timing matters after Alix Earle’s Braxton Berrios split and Tom Brady’s post-divorce spotlight
The reason this blew up is not complicated. The timing made it easy to frame as a “new year, new guy” storyline, and the age gap turned it into instant debate bait.Earle’s breakup sits right under this story, and she has addressed it publicly. In a TikTok video shared last month, she said, “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,” and called it difficult. She also said, “It’s just been really difficult for me.”She went further in that same explanation, saying, “I think that was a scary thing for me to realize because it meant us not being in the same place. 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.” She later described the split as amicable and said, “It just kinda feels like we’re on two different paths right now and it sucks,” and added, “We’re on good terms and I don’t want anyone to come for him or be mean to him.”Brady, 48, has lived in rumor-land since his divorce from Gisele Bündchen in 2022. In the reporting included in your source dump, he was described as single since that divorce, with mention that he was linked to Irina Shayk in 2023, and that Bündchen moved on with Joaquim Valente and married him in December 2025.Then the internet did what it does with any Brady clip. It turned a New Year’s Eve interaction into a verdict. Barstool Sports founder Dave Portnoy jumped into that part of the conversation by reposting the TMZ clip and writing, “Im seeing lot of negative Nancy’s commenting on the 23 year age gap between Brady and Alix Earle. Unbiased I say let them live! Age is just a number. And if you could pull Alix Earle at almost 50 you would. He added the hashtag “Laugh Love Live 2026.””That post is not evidence of anything romantic. It is evidence of the discourse. People see the ages, decide the story, and start picking teams.Here’s the cleaner way to put it: Earle posted a New Year’s Eve TikTok about “good vibes,” then videos showed her with Brady later that night. Outlets reported it. TMZ published footage. PEOPLE and Page Six cited sources describing them as “cozy.” Neither Earle nor Brady has publicly addressed what the interaction meant.Until one of them does, this is a viral moment with a lot of noise attached. The only solid facts are the posted TikTok, the published videos, and what multiple outlets said their sources described.
