Why Tom Brady Isn’t Prioritizing His "Personal Life" After Alix Earle NYE Outing
Get ready for Alix Earle's breakdown of that St. Barts trip.
Nearly one month after she was spotted getting cozy with Tom Brady while vacationing on the Caribbean island, the TikToker shared her takeaways from the getaway.
"I think it was the best trip of my entire life, Alix said in a Jan. 22 YouTube video. “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 25-year-old went on to share how she stayed on a luxury yacht with a group of women who she had previously met but "wasn't very close with" until the trip.
"The girls were all really nice," Alix continued. "I only met a few people for the first."
Indeed, the Dancing With the Stars alum had a blast. As she captioned her vacation photos on Jan. 3, "Rumor has it we’re still dancing."
"New friends, new memories, and new beginnings to start off the new year," she wrote on Instagram. "Words can’t describe how amazing this trip was."
Alix ended her post by giving a shoutout to music manager Myles Shear for "throwing the best NYE party," which she and Tom—as well as a bevy of other celebrities—attended.
As for how she was introduced to the NFL legend? Alix did not say, though Myles—who hosted the New Year's Eve bash as part of his Palm Tree Crew collective—recently touched on all the "different types of characters" at his star-studded rager.

"Part of the reason so many high-profile people come to our events is because we never talk about them," he teased in a Vanity Fair interview published Jan. 21. "But we love Alix. She’s phenomenal."
As for Tom? The seven-time Super Bowl champion isn't putting a huge focus on dating following his 2022 divorce from Gisele Bündchen.
"I don't have much time for a personal life or much time for myself,” he told People Jan. 14, “but I love working and I love my kids."
The 48-year-old added, "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."
And for a deeper dive into his real and rumored romantic history, read on...

Tara Reid
When Tom Brady was in the very early stages of his football career, he teamed up with Tara Reid.
"We’d just see each other on and off," the American Pie actress recalled to Bustle in 2023, noting she and the quarterback briefly dated in the early aughts before her engagement and split from Carson Daly. "It was nothing serious, but it was fun. We’d go to beer places and have fun and dance. He was cool."
And if you want the play-by-play on how they met, Tara revealed they crossed paths at the ESPY Awards.
"We just started talking and hanging out," she shared with NBC Sports Boston in 2022, "exchanged phone numbers."
She also didn't call foul on Tom's smooching skills, adding he's a "great kisser."

Bridget Moynahan
By the time Tom won his first Super Bowl with the New England Patriots in 2004, he'd entered a new relationship with Bridget Moynahan.
And as the Blue Bloods star and the athlete posed for photos at glamorous events like the Met Gala and Oscar parties, they seemed like the picture-perfect couple.
"I can be myself around her, and there's not many people I can be myself around," Tom said in a 2005 60 Minutes interview. "It's fun to be around your best friends who know you well, and she's someone that I consider one of my very best friends."
However, it became clear they weren't each other's endgame when they announced their breakup in December 2006.
Not long after, Tom met Gisele Bündchen. And as their relationship was beginning, he learned that Bridget was pregnant with his child—leading to a media frenzy.
"I would have cars following me, and men hiding in the bushes outside my house," she recalled to People in 2019. "As a new mother, you want to just protect your child. That kind of attention felt like a threat."
Bridget gave birth to son John Edward Thomas Moynahan (a.k.a. Jack) in August 2007. And over time, she, Tom and Gisele formed a solid co-parenting bond.
"Tom and I made a decision to raise a child together and we both found partners that not only supported us in raising that child, but also loved our child as if he was their own," the actress, who wed Andrew Frankel in 2015, added. "I don't think you can ask for more than that. My son is surrounded by love."

Gisele Bündchen
After marrying in February 2009, Tom and Gisele added son Benjamin to their squad in December of that year followed by daughter Vivian three years later.
The supermodel took a step back from the runway to focus on raising their family, and she and the kids were in the stands cheering on the QB as he racked up a total of seven Super Bowl wins.
But in 2022, rumors spread that it was game over for the power couple. And in October of that year, they divorced.
However, Gisele slammed speculation the breakup was caused by Tom reversing his decision to retire and play for the Tampa Bay Buccaneers one more season before ultimately hanging up his cleats for good in 2023. Instead, she noted they simply grew apart.
"What’s been said is one piece of a much bigger puzzle," the fashion icon told Vanity Fair in 2023. "It’s not so black and white."
Pledging to not let their divorce fumble their co-parenting relationship, Gisele and Tom moved on. And in early 2025, she welcomed a baby with Jiu-Jitsu instructor Joaquim Valente, the two getting married in Surfside, Fla., on Dec. 3, according to marriage records viewed by E! News.

Kim Kardashian
And if you were keeping up, then you might have also seen rumors that Tom was dating Kim Kardashian. But in May 2023, a source confirmed to E! News that while the two have friends and business partners in common, they're not dating.
Kim even laughed off the rumors during Netflix's The Roast of Tom Brady.
"I wasn't going to come tonight, but since I'm not here as Tom's date, there's still a good chance I might, " the reality star joked during the 2024 comedy special. "Speaking of Tom and I dating, I know there were some rumors that we were. And I'd never say if we did or not—I'd just release the tape."

Irina Shayk
Still, there was no timeout in the dating speculation and Tom was linked to Irina Shayk after they were spotted together in L.A. in the summer of 2023.
However, the romance rumors didn't have a long runway as reports spread that fall that the model and the MVP had already parted ways. Although, they were photographed together again that December.

Sofía Vergara
The "are they dating?" questions kicked off again in July 2025 when Sofía Vergara posted several pics from a star-studded gathering aboard a yacht, including one of her and Tom sitting at a table with J Balvin nearby.
But when the Daily Mail, citing a source, reported the Super Bowl champ was planning on staying single and that the Modern Family star was "too old" for him, his rep fired back.
"Tom never said, nor would he ever say, anything like this," the rep told People July 10. "It is pure fiction."
