From St. Barths to Super Bowl parties, Tom Brady and Alix Earle fuel ongoing speculation
What made this specific reunion so spicy for fans wasn’t just the fact that it was their first real public sighting since splitting, it was the massive elephant in the room named Tom Brady. Ever since her breakup with Braxton, Alix has been living her best single life, and that includes sparking some major dating rumors with the NFL GOAT himself. Over the last few months, Alix and the 48-year-old retired quarterback have been spotted looking cozy at several elite events. They first sparked dating buzz when a viral video caught them getting flirty at a New Year’s Eve party in St. Barths, and things only heated up when they were seen dancing together late into the night at a private Super Bowl party in February. While sources say it’s nothing serious and just “flirty fun,” the fact that Alix was heavily linked to a football legend made this run-in with her other NFL ex, Braxton, even more fascinating to watch.

For a quick refresher: Alix and Braxton dated for nearly two years before mutually calling it quits late last year. The culprit wasn’t some messy scandal or cheating, it was just the reality of long-distance.Between Braxton’s heavy NFL schedule and Alix’s booming career, keeping the spark alive from different cities became too much to handle. Alix tearfully explained to her followers at the time that she just couldn’t give the relationship what it needed while trying to focus on herself.
