Alix Earle’s father humorously referenced Tom Brady in a video shared by his wife, Ashley Dupré, amid rumors linking the influencer to the NFL star. During a TikTok clip where Dupré considered donating an oversized blue suete blazer belonging to her husband, Thomas “TJ” Earle, he quipped off-camera, “I actually got that jacket because I saw Tom Brady wearing one like that.” Their children erupted in laughter as Dupré playfully responded, “You just say the darndest things.”
The lighthearted moment followed reports that 25-year-old Earle and 48-year-old Brady were seen conversing intimately at a New Year’s Eve yacht party in St. Barts. A source told Page Six they “broke off from the larger group, talking for a lot of the night,” while Us Weekly described their “instant connection” and “chemistry.”
Earle confirmed her split from longtime boyfriend Braxton Berrios in mid-December, with insiders citing distance as the reason. Brady, who finalized his divorce from supermodel Gisele Bündchen in 2022 after 13 years of marriage, shares children Benjamin, 15, and Vivian, 12, with her, as well as son Jack, 18, with ex Bridget Moynahan. Bündchen recently remarried jiu-jitsu instructor Joaquim Valente and welcomed another child in early 2025.
