Alix Earle and Tom Brady enjoyed getting to know each other on New Year’s Eve.

“Alix and Tom were together the entire night on New Year’s Eve partying at a party hosted by Palm Tree Crew in St. Barths,” a source exclusively tells Us Weekly. “They met through mutual friends who were also in St. Barths and had an instant connection. There was a lot of chemistry between them.”

The insider adds that Earle, 25, was “really into hanging out with” Brady, 48, but isn’t looking for “anything serious” following her recent split from Braxton Berrios.

“It’s nothing serious between her and Tom, but they were together laughing, dancing and partying, enjoying themselves,” the source explains.

Brady, meanwhile, was “hesitant” about being seen with Earle in public “but didn’t want to leave her side.”

According to the insider, Earle “needed” the post-breakup getaway to St. Barths and the influencer “is in a phase of saying yes to fun experiences and not overthinking anything.”

“She’s just having fun right now and letting loose,” the source says. “She has been in great spirits while on vacation and seems happy and ready to have fun again.”

Earle and Brady made headlines after they were spotted looking cozy while ringing in 2026 at a night club on the tropical island, per video obtained by TMZ. In the clip, Earle was seen whispering in the retired football player’s ear.

After sparking dating rumors, Brady posted a cryptic message on social media.

“People are not beautiful for how they look or speak. They’re beautiful for how they love, care and treat others,” read the quote shared via Brady’s Instagram Story on Thursday, January 1.

One month before Earle’s outing with Brady, Us confirmed she and Berrios called it quits after two years of dating.

“[The] majority of their relationship was long-distance and it was hard for them to navigate,” an insider exclusively told Us at the time. “They mutually agreed on the split.”

Earle was living in Los Angeles as she competed on Dancing With the Stars’ 34th season, where she came in second place. Berrios, who plays in the NFL for the Houston Texans, resides in Florida during the offseason.

Later in December, Earle broke her silence on her and Berrios’ breakup.

“Braxton and I are no longer together,” she told her followers in a TikTok video. “We have been doing long distance since, basically, June and we haven’t got to see each other that often. It’s just been really difficult for me.”

Earle explained that she and Berrios were on “two different paths” in life but are still amicable post-split.

“We’re on good terms and I don’t want anyone to come for him or be mean to him,” she continued. “I think I ultimately just wanted to go with trusting my feelings. This has just been really hard. … It’s not drama. It’s not because he did anything wrong or I did anything wrong. It just didn’t really feel like it was working out, in the moment.”
