“I’m just having fun”: Alix Earle finally breaks her silence on Tom Brady in jaw-dropping Netflix confession | NFL News
Alix Earle has spent most of 2026 dodging questions about Tom Brady. No confirmations, no denials, just a knowing smile and strategic silence. That changed on September 4, when her Netflix reality series *Earle Meets World* dropped all eight episodes at once. In it, Earle sits down with Jenna Johnson, wife of *Dancing with the Stars* pro Val Chmerkovskiy, and finally puts the seven-time Super Bowl champion’s name in a sentence. Nothing earth-shattering. But for a story that has run entirely on speculation, even a shrug counts as news.
What exactly did Alix Earle say about Tom Brady on Earle Meets World?
The moment itself is quieter than the months of noise surrounding it. Johnson asks what is going on between Earle and Brady, and the 25-year-old influencer does not reach for a rehearsed answer. “I don’t know what’s going on,” she says. “I’m having fun.” Johnson pushes a little harder: “So it’s, like, confirmed?” Earle shrugs and repeats herself: “No, I’m just having fun.”That is it. Two sentences and a shrug, and yet it is the most direct thing Earle has said publicly about Brady since the rumor mill started spinning at a New Year’s Eve party in St. Barths on December 31, 2025. The two were spotted chatting and dancing together. Less than three weeks later, they were seen again at a Super Bowl LX party in San Francisco, where footage showed them dancing closely while Brady, by multiple accounts, could not stop smiling.By the Monday after the Super Bowl, a source told People the pair were “hooking up.” Another insider told TMZ there was “definitely” romantic chemistry between them. But neither Earle nor Brady said a word. Earle showed up at the Vanity Fair Oscars Party in March and told Entertainment Tonight she was hoping to “get someone’s number” at the event, which read, at the time, like she was moving on. She wasn’t entirely wrong, but the Brady chapter was not yet closed.

Are Alix Earle and Tom Brady still together or is it casual?
Sources who spoke to Us Weekly in early 2026 described the dynamic as purely situational. “They are hooking up, but it’s not serious,” one insider said, framing it as a “when we’re in the same city” arrangement with no labels and no pressure on either side.That makes sense when you look at where both of them actually are in life. Earle broke up with NFL player Braxton Berrios in December 2025 after more than two years together, citing distance and fading communication. Brady, 48, is managing media commitments, business interests, and fatherhood. Neither person is carving out space for something serious right now.What the Netflix show does is give the audience a fixed, on-camera moment instead of another round of unnamed sources. Earle’s “I’m just having fun” is deliberately non-committal, but it also stops the speculation from spiraling further. She acknowledged it. She chose not to label it. And she moved on within the same conversation, which, honestly, is probably the most honest answer anyone in her position could give.
