Ah, but in case we stand one little chance, Here comes the jackpot question in advance: What was Alix Earle doing New Year’s Eve? The Dancing With the Stars alum rang in 2026 in St. Barts, and per TMZ she wasn’t alone. The tabloid has footage of Earle hanging out with Tom Brady as the ball dropped. At one point, Earle appears to be whispering In Brady’s ear and putting her hand on the ex-QB’s back. But deflate your gossip hopes: neither party is confirming a coupling at this time.

Earle reportedly split from Houston Texans wide receiver Braxton Berrios last month, after two years of dating. “Braxton and I are no longer together,” she said on TikTok, per Us Weekly. “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.”

Brady has also seemingly been going through it. He attended the Bezos-Sànchez nuptials in the summer, and was briefly linked to Sofia Vergara. But after news broke that ex-wife Giselle Bündchen was pregnant with her new partner’s baby, Brady posted lyrics from Fleetwood Mac’s “Landslide” on IG Stories. Here’s hoping everyone handles the seasons of their life.
