Speculation surrounding the rumoured relationship between NFL legend Tom Brady and social media influencer Alix Earle intensified over the Super Bowl weekend, yet the pair were conspicuously absent from each other's company during the main event itself.
Separate Super Bowl Appearances
While the 48-year-old former quarterback helped kick off Super Bowl LX alongside fellow NFL icons Jerry Rice, Peyton Manning, Jalen Hurts, and Steve Young during a performance by Green Day, 25-year-old Alix Earle watched the Seattle Seahawks defeat the New England Patriots from the exclusive Raising Cane's suite. A source confirmed to Just Jared that 'Alix left on the shuttle with the rest of the people in the Cane’s suite' and 'Tom was nowhere to be seen.'
A Night of Intimate Dancing
This separation came just hours after the duo were photographed looking decidedly smitten while dancing together at a private Super Bowl eve party in San Francisco. Images obtained by the Daily Mail show Brady, wearing a black sweater and a white-and-black baseball cap, in close proximity to Earle as they celebrated the night away. The visual evidence of their flirty interaction has only served to fuel ongoing rumours of a potential romance.
A Pattern of Encounters
This was not their only shared appearance in San Francisco last week. Both Brady and Earle also attended his good friend Michael Rubin's Fanatics party on Saturday, as well as the Madden Bowl at the Chase Center on Friday. Their connection traces back to a New Year's Eve yacht party on the Caribbean island of St. Barts, where video footage captured Earle leaning in to whisper to Brady and placing her hand on his back, while he appeared to place his hand around her lower waist.
A source told Page Six that at that event, 'They were at a yacht party and met, and broke off from the larger group, talking for a lot of the night.' Earle herself later described the St. Barts getaway as the 'best trip of her life.'
Personal Backgrounds Add to Intrigue
The new images feature Brady, who has been single since his 2022 divorce from ex-wife Gisele Bundchen, and Earle, who split from NFL-star boyfriend Braxton Berrios late last year after a two-year relationship. A source indicated to Us Weekly that their separation was a 'mutually agreed on the split.'
While Brady was partying in San Francisco, his ex-wife Gisele Bundchen was enjoying a serene family stroll in Miami with her new husband, Joaquim Valente, and their one-year-old child.
The Daily Mail has reached out to representatives for both Tom Brady and Alix Earle for comment on their relationship status but did not receive an immediate response.
