Alix Earle has finally addressed her months-long romance rumors with Tom Brady.
The TikTok star, 25, opened up about her connection to the retired NFL quarterback, 47, during the second episode of her new Netflix reality series “Earle Meets World,” which premiered Friday. The conversation unfolded as she rehearsed for a “Dancing With the Stars” Season 34 performance alongside her partner Val Chmerkovskiy, whose wife Jenna Johnson, 32, pressed her on the relationship.
“What’s going on?” Johnson asked Earle directly.
“I don’t know what’s going on,” Earle replied. “I’m having fun.”
When Johnson pushed further to ask whether the romance was “like, confirmed,” Earle simply shrugged and repeated her stance: “No, I’m just having fun,” She added with a knowing tone, “I know, a lot has changed since last time.”
Johnson expressed her support, telling Earle she “love[d] that for” her before pivoting to ask how the influencer was faring after her recent breakup with NFL player Braxton Berrios. Johnson couldn’t resist a playful jab, pretending to dial a phone and quipping, “Then you were like, ‘Tom, come over, cutie.'”
The exchange marks the first time Earle has spoken publicly about her link to Brady since the two were spotted getting cozy at a star-studded New Year’s Eve party in St. Barts this past January. The pair reignited chatter two months later when they were seen sharing PDA at a private Super Bowl bash in February.
At that time, sources confirmed that Earle and Brady were engaged in a “not-so-serious fling,” with one insider explaining that the former quarterback is a “very particular” and “intentional” “perfectionist” who “doesn’t hook up with just anyone.” The same source characterized their dynamic as casual, noting it carried an “I’ll see you when I see you” vibe and that Earle “is doing her own thing and having fun, and is not worried.”
The Brady speculation emerged in the wake of Earle’s split from Berrios, which itself became fodder for public discussion. Berrios later addressed the breakup and the subsequent Brady rumors in his own public comments, adding another layer to the unfolding narrative.
Beyond her romantic life, Earle used her Netflix platform to weigh in on another headline-grabbing conflict: her bitter feud with “Call Her Daddy” podcast host Alex Cooper. The show dedicates significant attention to the interpersonal drama that has played out between the two podcasting personalities.
The series, which offers viewers a window into Earle’s personal and professional evolution, arrives as she navigates a dramatically transformed public profile. What began as TikTok fame has expanded into reality television, high-profile romantic speculation, and public disputes with established media figures.
“Earle Meets World” is currently streaming on Netflix.
