Tom Brady and influencer Alix Earle have the internet buzzing after they were seen spending time together at a New Year’s Eve bash in St. Barts.
The pair, whose 23-year age gap has drawn reactions online, were spotted looking cozy at a yacht party, according to Page Six, which spoke with a “St. Barts spy” on Wednesday.
The 48-year-old Fox Sports analyst and the “Dancing With The Stars” alum, who turned 25 last month, were also seen talking closely and rubbing each other’s back in other videos posted to social media.
Brady and Earle, both single, have yet to address it.
Many, however, had a field day with it on social media.
Barstool Sports founder Dave Portnoy defended their age gap, using the hashtag “laugh love live 2026” on X.
“I’m seeing lot of negative Nancy’s commenting on the 23 year age gap between Brady and Alix Earle,” Portnoy wrote.
“Unbiased I say let them live! Age is just a number. And if you could pull Alix Earle at almost 50 you would.”
Some said Brady was following in the footsteps of his former Patriots coach, Bill Belchick.
