Tom Brady, Alix Earle add a new twist to dating rumours

Tom Brady appears to be enjoying a flirtatious new chapter in his love life.

Notably, the social media star Alix Earle seems to be at the centre of it. 

For the unversed, the pair reportedly hit it off during a New Year’s Eve party in St Barth’s, hosted by Palm Tree Crew, and sources say they’ve been “texting” ever since.

An insider told Us Weekly that the connection was immediate. 

“Alix and Tom were together the entire night, laughing, dancing and partying. There was a lot of chemistry between them,” the source said. 

While the 48-year-old footballer was “hesitant” about being seen together publicly, he apparently didn’t want to leave her side.

While Alix was fully on board, though she isn’t looking for anything serious just yet.

The duo were also spotted briefly catching up at the College Football National Championship in Miami last week. 

The meeting wasn’t planned, the source said, but they managed a little reunion despite Tom’s busy work schedule.

Alix, recently single after splitting from Braxton Berrios, is said to be in a carefree, fun-loving phase. 

“She’s just having fun right now and letting loose. She seems happy and ready to have fun again,” the insider added.

Meanwhile, Tom’s focus remains on work and family. 

For the unversed, he shares son Jack, 18, with ex Bridget Moynahan, and Benjamin, 16, and Vivian, 13, with ex-wife Gisele Bündchen.

 Speaking to People, he said, “I don't have much time for a personal life… I love working and I love my kids. They keep me busy, but I’m fulfilled.”

Though nothing serious has blossomed yet, fans can’t help but wonder if Tom and Alix’s playful St Barth’s chemistry could spark something more.
