Alix Earle<\/strong><\/a> and Tom Brady<\/strong><\/a>\u2019s PDA-filled New Year\u2019s Eve had fans and celebrities alike freaking out over their potential age-gap romance.<\/p>\n

\u201cAlix and Tom were together the entire night on New Year\u2019s Eve partying at a party hosted by Palm Tree Crew in St. Barths,\u201d a source exclusively told Us Weekly<\/em><\/a> on Friday, January 2. \u201cThey met through mutual friends who were also in St. Barths and had an instant connection. There was a lot of chemistry between them.\u201d<\/p>\n

The pair were spotted on NYE getting cozy<\/a>, with Earle placing her hand on Brady\u2019s back and leaning in to whisper in his ear. Some fans thought they were dating after the interaction, but the insider told Us<\/em> Earle wasn\u2019t ready for \u201canything serious\u201d in the romance department after her recent split from Braxton Berrios<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Fans, however, weren\u2019t the only ones surprised by Earle and Brady\u2019s newfound connection. Celebs like Bachelor Nation alum Jason Tartick<\/strong><\/a> and Bethenny Frankel<\/strong><\/a> shared their thoughts about the possible couple.<\/p>\n

\n\t\t\tMiles Teller and wife Keleigh Teller are sending 2025 out with bang \u2014 and a lavish group vacation.

Scroll down to see which celebs have weighed in on Earle and Brady\u2019s eyebrow-raising connection:<\/p>\n

Jenna Bush Hager<\/h2>\n

\u201cWe have to talk about Alix Earle, she\u2019s living her best life,\u201d Jenna Bush Hager<\/strong> said during the Monday, January 5, episode of Today With Jenna & Friends<\/em><\/a>.<\/p>\n

When Page Six<\/em>\u2019s Danny Murphy<\/strong> and Evan Real<\/strong> suggested during the show\u2019s \u201cThe Scoop\u201d segment that Earle putting her hand on Brady\u2019s back on vacation meant \u201cthis is my man, everybody step away,\u201d Bush Hager wasn\u2019t convinced.<\/p>\n

\u201cThat could be friendly, no?\u201d Bush Hager innocently asked, but the reporters both insisted it was more than a friendly touch.<\/p>\n

Chicks in the Office<\/h2>\n

Maria Ciuffo<\/strong> and Francesca Mariano<\/strong> sounded off on Brady and Earle\u2019s dance seen around the world during the Monday episode of their \u201cChicks in the Office<\/a>\u201d podcast, backing the former Dancing With the Stars<\/em> contestant.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhy are people so mad at both of them?\u201d Ciuffo asked her cohost, noting that although she\u2019s not Brady\u2019s biggest \u201cfan,\u201d she was happy for the newly-single Earle. (Earle and NFL player Braxton Berrios<\/strong> split in December 2025<\/a> after two years together.)<\/p>\n

Ciuffo explained, \u201cI\u2019m not going to knock a single girl on New Years Eve who\u2019s in St. Barths getting her freaking freak on for flirting with Tom Brady who is flirting with her. \u2026 You do it for the story. You do it for the 5 a.m. debrief with Keleigh Teller<\/strong> and Nina Dobrev<\/strong>. You don\u2019t do it to date Tom Brady, God no.\u201d<\/p>\n

Mariano was in complete agreement, pointing out that Earle was \u201cyoung in St. Barths, flirting with the best football player of all time,\u201d so yes, she should definitely \u201cdo it for the plot.\u201d<\/p>\n

Jason Tartick<\/h2>\n

During the Monday episode of his \u201cTrading Secrets<\/a>\u201d podcast, Jason Tartick<\/strong> brought up Brady and it quickly turned to his holiday activities.<\/p>\n

\u201cYou saw something about Tom Brady in the news this week?\u201d his cohost David Arduin<\/strong> playfully asked.<\/p>\n

Tartick replied, \u201cAre you talking about Alix Earle? St. Barths seems wild, huh? It\u2019s like Aspen or St. Barths. St. Barths New Year\u2019s Eve \u2026 that\u2019s like the big, big, big boy.\u201d<\/p>\n

Bethenny Frankel<\/h2>\n

After spending New Year\u2019s in St. Barths with her teenage daughter, Bethenny Frankel<\/strong> got real about what it was like.<\/p>\n

\u201cDespite leaving early because of some heartbreaking news [of a friends death], dealing with a bacterial infection, and St. Barths being the Hunger Games<\/em> of holiday socialization, I still found moments that really mattered,\u201d the former Real Housewives of New York City<\/em> star wrote via Instagram<\/a> on Sunday, January 4. \u201cI spent special time with friends and my love, Bryn, and rang in the new year in a way that felt genuinely meaningful, surrounded by good people.\u201d<\/p>\n

She added: \u201cThis trip reminded me of something I\u2019ve always known but sometimes forget: it\u2019s not about what you\u2019re doing, it\u2019s about who you\u2019re with. And real happiness doesn\u2019t come from the setting, the plans, or the noise, it comes from within.\u201d<\/p>\n

As part of her photo recap, Frankel shared a picture with Earle and her daughter, Bryn, as well as a video of Earle and Nina Dobrev<\/strong> dancing along with pal Glenn Powell<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Do not forget that this is all leading up to the main event,\u201d Sylvester said at the time. \u201cAnd no, I\u2019m not talking about Alix Earle\u2019s DMs, I\u2019m talking about the 31st annual Critics Choice Awards hosted by Chelsea Handler<\/strong>.\u201d<\/p>\n

Thomas \u201cTJ\u201d Earle<\/h2>\n

Alix\u2019s dad, TJ Earle<\/strong>, poked fun at her romantic night with the retired quarterback via a Saturday, January 3, TikTok video<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\u201cI actually got that jacket because I saw Tom Brady wearing one like that,\u201d TJ joked in the clip to which his wife, Ashley Earle<\/strong>, replied, \u201cAre you joking?\u201d TJ added, \u201cI swear to God.\u201d<\/p>\n

Ashley was shook, asking, \u201cAre you serious? \u2026 You know what, honey, you just say the darndest things. How ironic is that.\u201d<\/p>\n
