Alix Earle has revealed details of her intimate New Year’s Eve party with Tom Brady in St. Barts, celebrating on a luxury yacht in the glamorous Caribbean setting. According to another source, the two “spent the whole night together” while partying with friends.
The 25-year-old social media influencer and content creator, known for her massive following on TikTok and YouTube, rang in 2026 alongside the 48-year-old NFL legend in what has quickly become one of the most talked-about celebrity encounters of the new year. The pair was spotted at a high-profile New Year’s Eve bash in St. Barts, where they appeared inseparable throughout the evening, fueling widespread speculation about a potential romance.
Eyewitness accounts and video footage from the night captured Earle and Brady in close proximity, dancing and engaging in animated conversation at a club setting within the festivities. In one widely circulated clip, Earle is seen placing her hand on Brady’s back while leaning in to whisper something in his ear, a moment that sparked immediate buzz across social media and entertainment outlets. The event took place on a luxury yacht, adding an extra layer of exclusivity to the celebration, with attendees including other notable figures from entertainment and sports circles.
Sources close to the situation described an “instant connection” between the two, noting that they met through mutual friends at the gathering hosted by the Palm Tree Crew, a popular event production group known for curating upscale parties. “Alix and Tom were together the entire night on New Year’s Eve partying at a party hosted by Palm Tree Crew in St. Barts,” one insider told reporters. They reportedly broke away from the larger group at times, spending significant portions of the evening in more private conversations, which only intensified the rumors swirling around their interaction.
The yacht itself served as a central hub for the night’s activities, offering stunning views of the Caribbean Sea under the fireworks-lit sky as the clock struck midnight. Earle later reflected on her stay aboard the vessel in a candid YouTube vlog posted in late January. When asked by her cameraman about the experience, she described it enthusiastically as “just such a fun time,” emphasizing the positive energy among the group.
She stayed on the luxury boat with a circle of women—some she had met previously but wasn’t particularly close with until the trip—highlighting how the getaway fostered new friendships and shared good vibes.
Earle has since called the entire St. Barts excursion “the best trip of my entire life.” In her vlog, she elaborated on the atmosphere, saying it involved “a lot of new people, but just everyone was on the same vibes. Making friends, having fun. The girls were all really nice. It was just fun.” She credited the harmonious group dynamic and the overall celebratory mood for making the vacation unforgettable, though she steered clear of directly addressing the spotlight on her time with Brady.
The New Year’s Eve party drew a star-studded crowd, with reports mentioning celebrities like Miles Teller, Keleigh Sperry Teller, Nina Dobrev, Glen Powell, and Chord Overstreet among those in attendance or linked to the broader festivities. Music manager Myles Shear received shoutouts from Earle for orchestrating what she described as “the best NYE party,” underscoring the event’s reputation as a premier destination for ringing in the new year.
Brady, the seven-time Super Bowl champion who retired from professional football in 2023, has maintained a relatively low-key personal life in recent years following his divorce from Gisele Bündchen. His appearance at the St. Barts event marked a rare public sighting in such a social, party-oriented context, and the chemistry with Earle did not go unnoticed. Insiders have portrayed their interaction as natural and effortless, with “a lot of chemistry between them” evident from the start.
Since the holiday getaway, the pair has reportedly stayed in touch. Sources indicate they have continued texting in the weeks following New Year’s Eve, and they even crossed paths briefly at the College Football National Championship game in Miami on January 19. While not a planned joint appearance, their mutual presence at the event added fuel to ongoing speculation about whether their connection might evolve beyond a one-night party encounter.
Earle, who recently ended a two-year relationship with NFL player Braxton Berrios citing distance as a key factor, has been embracing a period of personal growth and new beginnings. Her St. Barts trip aligned perfectly with this mindset, as she manifested “really good vibes” leading up to the holidays. In social media posts and content shared shortly after, she hinted at the lingering fun from the night, captioning vacation photos with playful references like “Rumor has it we’re still dancing.”
The age difference between Earle and Brady—23 years—has drawn commentary from fans and media alike, yet the buzz has largely centered on the unexpected pairing of a Gen Z influencer sensation with one of football’s all-time greats. Neither has publicly confirmed or denied romantic involvement, allowing the narrative to thrive on sourced details, videos, and their own subtle nods in content.
As 2026 unfolds, Earle continues to build her brand through vlogs, podcasts, and partnerships, while Brady remains active in business ventures and media appearances. Their New Year’s Eve moment in St. Barts, aboard that luxurious yacht under the Monaco-like glamour of the Caribbean elite scene, stands as a highlight of the holiday season—one that blended celebrity, spontaneity, and undeniable spark. Whether it evolves into something more or remains a memorable night among friends, it has already cemented itself as a defining celebrity story of the early year.
