Alix Earle opened up about her dating preferences as rumors continue linking her to Tom Brady. The social media star said she prefers older men who feel more mature and dependable.
Earle’s comments quickly grabbed attention online because Brady, the seven-time Super Bowl champion, is more than 20 years older than the influencer. The two have sparked dating speculation after being spotted at several high-profile events together over recent months.
Tom Brady’s rumored romantic partner Alix Earle drops her dating preference
During a May 21 episode of her Get Real With Me series, Earle spoke honestly about why dating men close to her age no longer appeals to her. While talking with guest Quenlin Blackwell, the 25-year-old explained that a recent experience changed her outlook.
“I went on a date with a guy who was a year older than me. I can’t do it again,” Earle said. “It didn’t feel like I was with a man.” She later added, “I want someone to take care of me,” while also admitting that sometimes she has gone “too far” in the opposite direction with older partners.
Earle also said she prefers someone who “knows their shit,” explaining that she and Blackwell feel “too mature” for many men around their own age. Those remarks immediately fueled more conversation about her rumored connection with Tom Brady, who is 48.
Dating rumors between the pair first picked up around New Year’s Eve after both attended the same gathering in St. Barts. Since then, fans have noticed them at several overlapping events, including a Gucci party in New York City earlier this month. Neither Earle nor Brady has publicly confirmed that they are together.
Earle became one of TikTok’s biggest lifestyle creators through beauty videos, college content, and Get Ready With Me clips that helped her build millions of followers. Brady, meanwhile, remains one of the most accomplished players in NFL history after winning seven Super Bowls across his legendary career with the New England Patriots and Tampa Bay Buccaneers.
Before the Brady rumors, Earle reportedly dated NFL wide receiver Braxton Berrios. Meanwhile, Brady was previously married to supermodel Gisele Bündchen from 2009 until their 2022 divorce.
