Tom Brady Shares Cryptic Posts After Spending Time With Alix Earle on New Year’s Eve
Tom Brady is giving a puck about hockey in the new year.
Two days after he spent New Year’s Eve with Alix Earle, the seven-time Super Bowl champ attended the 2026 Discover NHL Winter Classic game between the New York Rangers and the Florida Panthers at loanDepot Park in Miami Jan. 2.
In pictures shared to the National Hockey League’s Instagram of the event, Tom posed with the famed Stanley Cup while repping merch for the Florida Panthers alongside former hockey star Paul Bissonnette.
The 48-year-old’s stop in the Sunshine State comes after a quick trip to St. Barths, where he was spotted hanging out with Alix on Dec. 31 in videos obtained by People and TMZ.
In one clip, the Dancing With the Stars finalist—who called it quits with current NFL star Braxton Berrios last month—leaned into Tom and rubbed his back while whispering in his ear.
Before the TikToker spent the evening with Tom, though, she forecasted “good vibes.” In a GRWM TikTok video, the 25-year-old noted that she and her friends had been “staying on a boat,” but were heading to a party that was “gonna be on land.”
For his part, Tom—dad to kids Benjamin, 16, and Vivian, 13, with ex-wife Gisele Bündchen, as well as Jack, 18, with ex Bridget Moynahan—reflected on 2025 with his own post ahead of his night with Alix.
“For me, The end of the year always helps to put things into perspective,” he wrote on Instagram. “Growth doesn’t really happen unless you’re willing to challenge yourself physically, mentally, and emotionally. That’s something I try to live by and keep coming back to as I learn more with each passing year.”

And despite his cryptic social media messages amid Gisele’s recent marriage to jui jitsu instructor Joaquim Valente, Tom emphasized his love for family.
“I’m so grateful for my loving and supportive family,” he continued, “and for meaningful career with people I care deeply about and for all the time spent showing up for both.”

Tara Reid
When Tom Brady was in the very early stages of his football career, he teamed up with Tara Reid.
"We’d just see each other on and off," the American Pie actress recalled to Bustle in 2023, noting she and the quarterback briefly dated in the early aughts before her engagement and split from Carson Daly. "It was nothing serious, but it was fun. We’d go to beer places and have fun and dance. He was cool."
And if you want the play-by-play on how they met, Tara revealed they crossed paths at the ESPY Awards.
"We just started talking and hanging out," she shared with NBC Sports Boston in 2022, "exchanged phone numbers."
She also didn't call foul on Tom's smooching skills, adding he's a "great kisser."

Bridget Moynahan
By the time Tom won his first Super Bowl with the New England Patriots in 2004, he'd entered a new relationship with Bridget Moynahan.
And as the Blue Bloods star and the athlete posed for photos at glamorous events like the Met Gala and Oscar parties, they seemed like the picture-perfect couple.
"I can be myself around her, and there's not many people I can be myself around," Tom said in a 2005 60 Minutes interview. "It's fun to be around your best friends who know you well, and she's someone that I consider one of my very best friends."
However, it became clear they weren't each other's endgame when they announced their breakup in December 2006.
Not long after, Tom met Gisele Bündchen. And as their relationship was beginning, he learned that Bridget was pregnant with his child—leading to a media frenzy.
"I would have cars following me, and men hiding in the bushes outside my house," she recalled to People in 2019. "As a new mother, you want to just protect your child. That kind of attention felt like a threat."
Bridget gave birth to son John Edward Thomas Moynahan (a.k.a. Jack) in August 2007. And over time, she, Tom and Gisele formed a solid co-parenting bond.
"Tom and I made a decision to raise a child together and we both found partners that not only supported us in raising that child, but also loved our child as if he was their own," the actress, who wed Andrew Frankel in 2015, added. "I don't think you can ask for more than that. My son is surrounded by love."

Gisele Bündchen
After marrying in February 2009, Tom and Gisele added son Benjamin to their squad in December of that year followed by daughter Vivian three years later.
The supermodel took a step back from the runway to focus on raising their family, and she and the kids were in the stands cheering on the QB as he racked up a total of seven Super Bowl wins.
But in 2022, rumors spread that it was game over for the power couple. And in October of that year, they divorced.
However, Gisele slammed speculation the breakup was caused by Tom reversing his decision to retire and play for the Tampa Bay Buccaneers one more season before ultimately hanging up his cleats for good in 2023. Instead, she noted they simply grew apart.
"What’s been said is one piece of a much bigger puzzle," the fashion icon told Vanity Fair in 2023. "It’s not so black and white."
Pledging to not let their divorce fumble their co-parenting relationship, Gisele and Tom moved on. And in early 2025, she welcomed a baby with Jiu-Jitsu instructor Joaquim Valente, the two getting married in Surfside, Fla., on Dec. 3, according to marriage records viewed by E! News.

Kim Kardashian
And if you were keeping up, then you might have also seen rumors that Tom was dating Kim Kardashian. But in May 2023, a source confirmed to E! News that while the two have friends and business partners in common, they're not dating.
Kim even laughed off the rumors during Netflix's The Roast of Tom Brady.
"I wasn't going to come tonight, but since I'm not here as Tom's date, there's still a good chance I might, " the reality star joked during the 2024 comedy special. "Speaking of Tom and I dating, I know there were some rumors that we were. And I'd never say if we did or not—I'd just release the tape."

Irina Shayk
Still, there was no timeout in the dating speculation and Tom was linked to Irina Shayk after they were spotted together in L.A. in the summer of 2023.
However, the romance rumors didn't have a long runway as reports spread that fall that the model and the MVP had already parted ways. Although, they were photographed together again that December.

Sofía Vergara
The "are they dating?" questions kicked off again in July 2025 when Sofía Vergara posted several pics from a star-studded gathering aboard a yacht, including one of her and Tom sitting at a table with J Balvin nearby.
But when the Daily Mail, citing a source, reported the Super Bowl champ was planning on staying single and that the Modern Family star was "too old" for him, his rep fired back.
"Tom never said, nor would he ever say, anything like this," the rep told People July 10. "It is pure fiction."
