Social media influencer Alix Earle has publicly announced she will no longer pursue romantic relationships with American football players, following her much-discussed rumoured connection to NFL legend Tom Brady and her recent breakup with former boyfriend Braxton Berrios. The 25-year-old content creator made her new dating preferences clear during a Coachella festival recap video uploaded to YouTube on April 16, after a weekend of festivities in the Californian desert.
Moving On From Football Stars
While reflecting on her experiences at the iconic music festival, Earle explicitly stated her desire to move away from dating professional athletes as she searches for her next partner. "I wanna date a rock star so bad," Alix enthusiastically declared in the vlog. "It's my dream. That's literally my dream." She further elaborated by revealing, "Do you know our group chat's The Groupies? We wanna be rockstar groupies. So far we've only made it to the DJs. No more football players."
Recent Relationship History
This firm declaration arrives merely months after her separation from NFL wide receiver Braxton Berrios, whom she dated for almost two years before their relationship ended in December 2025. Earle's romantic life has consistently captivated her substantial online following, particularly after her brief but highly publicised association with retired quarterback Tom Brady.
The pair ignited intense speculation about a potential romance in February 2026 when they were seen dancing together at a Super Bowl celebration, although Alix never officially confirmed any relationship status. They were subsequently spotted again at another Super Bowl party in San Francisco earlier this month, where the former NFL superstar and the prominent influencer danced throughout the evening.
Social Media Hints and Fan Speculation
Just one day after that event, Earle addressed her social media followers in a post that seemed to allude to an exceptionally late night beforehand. "Let's get ready for the Super Bowl," Earle told her audience. "I didn't go to bed until 6 last night, but we are up and ready. Benito day!" Numerous fans speculated whether she had stayed awake until 6am with Brady, especially considering the pair were initially observed together during a flirtatious New Year's Eve celebration in St. Barts.
Tom Brady's Relationship Status
Meanwhile, Tom Brady has not been involved in a serious committed relationship since his divorce from supermodel ex-wife Gisele Bündchen in 2022, after thirteen years of marriage. Bündchen is the mother of two of Brady's three children. The retired quarterback, despite considerable media attention surrounding his dating life, does not appear to have settled down with anyone new.
Advice From a Former Teammate
Recently, Rob Gronkowski, who played alongside Brady with both the New England Patriots and the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, offered his close friend some personal advice regarding his off-field pursuits. "Just follow your heart, Tom," Gronkowski told Page Six, commenting on his former teammate's love life. He added, "You know, wherever your heart is leading you, wherever your gut instinct is leading you. Just follow that heart, Tom."
Gronkowski also suggested that Brady should apply his legendary on-field success to his dating approach. "Just like he has with the game of football, treat the game of football… like how you treat dating and you'll be very successful. Like, a number one of all time," the former tight end remarked.
