Tom Brady cooks Joe Burrow for Alix Earle Oscars date

Tom Brady added fuel to an already active celebrity storyline this week, taking a playful jab at Joe Burrow during the Fanatics Flag Football Classic draft while referencing the Cincinnati Bengals quarterback’s recent Oscars-night outing with Alix Earle.

Appearing on stage in Los Angeles alongside Kevin Hart, Jalen Hurts, Druski, and Jayden Daniels, Brady took aim at Burrow while discussing team identities. “That’s what they called Joe the other night at those Oscar parties. Wildcat,” Brady said, before adding, “At least he’s here, no fashion shows to attend to.” The comment drew attention in the room, with Burrow reacting with a brief side-eye before eventually smiling.

The remark pointed directly to photos from Oscar weekend, where Burrow was seen leaving the Vanity Fair Oscar Party at the Los Angeles County Museum of Art alongside a group that included Alix Earle, Stassie Karanikolaou, Tate McRae, and Jake Shane. Images captured the group entering the same vehicle, with Burrow appearing to shield his face while others in the car smiled for the cameras.

The moment quickly circulated online, connecting two of the NFL’s biggest names—Brady and Burrow—to Earle, one of social media’s most visible influencers. The overlap has kept the conversation active across both sports and entertainment spaces, especially as all three figures continue to appear at high-profile events.

Brady’s comment also carried added context, given his own recent history with Earle. Earlier this year, the former New England Patriots quarterback was seen with the influencer during a New Year’s Eve celebration in St. Barths. According to TMZ, the pair were described by sources as having “drunk, flirty fun” during the party, though the outlet reported there was no confirmed relationship.

Weeks later, Brady and Earle were again spotted together at a private Super Bowl party in San Francisco, where video showed them dancing and talking. They also attended the same event in Las Vegas earlier this month, though reports indicated they were not there at the same time.

Both Brady and Burrow enter this stretch of public appearances following recent changes in their personal lives. Brady has been linked to several high-profile figures since his divorce from Gisele Bündchen, while Burrow recently split from model Olivia Ponton. Earle, for her part, ended a two-year relationship with NFL wide receiver Braxton Berrios in 2025.
