Tom Brady and Alix Earle spotted cosying during Super Bowl weekend, viral video fuels romance rumours as fans joke 'he's so divorce-dad-coded'

NFL legend Tom Brady and Dancing with the Stars alum Alix Earle have somehow become the internet’s most unexpected “are they or aren’t they?” duo, thanks to yet another video that sent social media into a spiral. They may be insisting on nothing more than friendship, but that hasn’t stopped fans from speculating about a possible romance, and the latest video has only added fuel to the fire.

The latest clip making the rounds was taken at a private Super Bowl weekend party in San Francisco, showing the 48-year-old Brady and 25-year-old Earle dancing and laughing together well into the night. The video, first obtained by DeuxMoi and widely reposted across social media, captures the pair in close conversation and moving together on the dance floor, reigniting speculation that what started in St. Barths on New Year’s Eve wasn’t just a one-off flirtation.

One of the biggest talking points online is the stark age difference between Brady and Earle: about 23 years.

Fans were far less subtle in their reactions, with many zeroing in on Brady’s age and energy in the clip. One user joked that he was doing “the moves of a guy pushing 50 while trying to be cool for someone half his age,” while another bluntly labeled the moment as “so divorced dad–coded it’s cringe.” Others took the criticism further, with one comment reading, “When Gisele left this man, it’s like she took all of his shine too,” and another admitting, “Never in my life did I think Brady could give me the ick.”

This isn’t the first time Brady and Earle’s interactions have gone viral. On New Year’s Eve in St. Barths, videos showed them close together late into the night, with Earle seen leaning in to whisper in Brady’s ear and resting a hand on his back. That footage set off the first round of dating speculation after she had recently split from her long-term boyfriend.

Back then, insiders described their interaction as flirty and comfortable, though neither side publicly confirmed any romantic status.

Amid all the buzz, some fans have pointed to Brady’s own social media activity as evidence he might be more emotionally open than he lets on. Recently, the former quarterback shared earnest, reflective posts on Instagram that followers interpreted as cryptic and “vulnerable,” leading to sideways speculation about his emotional state after a high-profile marriage and subsequent divorce.



Brady, who finalized his divorce from supermodel Gisele Bündchen in 2022 after 13 years of marriage, has publicly explained that he’s focused on his work and his three children and doesn’t spend much time on his personal life. Meanwhile, Bündchen remarried in late 2025, following which fans pointed out that Brady had been sharing some concerning posts.

For her part, Alix Earle was coming off a breakup from NFL wide receiver Braxton Berrios, with whom she had been in a relationship for over two years, before being spotted with Brady. Earle addressed the split on social media, describing the challenges of long-distance dating and how she wanted to focus on herself after the relationship ended.
