NFL Hall of Famer Tom Brady has been seen cosying up to an influencer at a New Year's Eve party - leaving fans shocked.
48-year-old Brady was seen ringing in the New Year in Saint Barthélemy, the picturesque Caribbean island, also attended by 25-year-old TikToker Alix Earle.
The former New England Patriots quarterback and the internet personality attended the same New Year’s Eve party, with one source telling People they were seen 'hanging out and looking cozy'.
Videos obtained by the outlet appear to show the pair chatting, dancing, and laughing together, with Earle at one point leaning in to whisper something in Brady’s ear, while rubbing his back.

While neither party has publicly addressed the rumors - with representatives for both Brady and Earle remaining silent - the internet certainly has.
One X user summed it up with: "Influencers are living lives that i’ve never seen before now."
Another stunned fan simply penned: "You’re kidding."
With a third comparing it to the unlikely pairing of pop star Katy Perry and former Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau.
"Katy Perry and Justin Trudeau were one thing but I am drawing the line and [at] Alix Earle and Tom Brady," they typed.
While one user added: "This is Tom Brady and Alix Earle. Entering the year 2026 together. Please discuss.”
The buzz comes shortly after Earle confirmed her split from Houston Texans wide receiver Braxton Berrios in December, with the influencer opening up about the breakup in an emotional TikTok, explaining that long distance had taken its toll.
“It’s just been really hard to process in general, and I think why I’ve been scared to say something is because I feel like it just makes it more real,” Earle told fans.
“Braxton and I are no longer together. We have been doing long distance since basically June and we haven't gotten to see each other that often."
Earle also shared that a recent stay in Los Angeles made her reconsider her future.
"I really liked it and I thought maybe I wanted to stay there," she added.
"A part of me just also really wants to be focusing on myself right now and I just feel like I can’t be what Braxton needs. I want him to have someone with him 24/7 who can support him and be there for him - and he wasn't really expecting that of me, I think it was more a me thing - but I constantly felt guilty."
Brady, meanwhile, has been single since his divorce with Gisele Bündchen was finalized in October, 2022.
