Tom Brady + Alix Earle “Cozy” Super Bowl Party Moment Sparks Buzz — But What’s Actually Confirmed?

 

Super Bowl weekend always comes with two parallel competitions: the game on the field… and the celebrity sightings off it. This year, the internet’s favorite afterparty storyline belongs to Tom Brady and Alix Earle, after videos circulating on social media appeared to show the retired NFL legend and the influencer chatting, smiling, and dancing together at a Super Bowl weekend party. 

It’s the kind of clip that instantly gets a thousand captions and ten thousand theories. But before the rumor mill turns a dance-floor moment into a full-blown relationship timeline, here’s what’s actually been reported — and what’s still firmly in the “people guessing online” category.

What People reports happened

According to PEOPLE, Brady (48) and Earle (25) were spotted getting cozy during Super Bowl weekend, based on videos shared on social media. The footage reportedly shows them chatting and dancing together at a party ahead of the big game. 

PEOPLE also frames this as not the first time the two have been linked, pointing back to a previous moment that sparked chatter: a New Year’s Eve party in St. Barths, where they were also seen appearing close. 

The key phrase here is “spotted” and “according to videos.” In entertainment terms, that means the story is built on public clips — not on an announcement, a rep confirmation, or a verified statement from either person about what their relationship is (if anything). PEOPLE does not report that either Brady or Earle has confirmed they’re dating. 

Why this particular pairing is catnip for the internet

On paper, it’s a headline that basically writes itself: legendary quarterback meets viral influencer during the most celebrity-packed weekend of the year. Add a dance floor and a few seconds of “are they or aren’t they?” body language, and you’ve got a ready-made pop culture firecracker.

But what keeps the story circulating is the “repeat sighting” element. If two people are seen together once, it’s a moment. If they’re seen together twice — St. Barths, then Super Bowl weekend — it becomes a pattern people want to decode. 

Still, “spotted together more than once” is not the same thing as “confirmed couple.” It’s just the kind of breadcrumb trail the internet loves.

The party details, as reported elsewhere

Other outlets echoed the basic claim that Brady and Earle were seen close while dancing at a private Super Bowl weekend event, though the tone varies depending on the publication. TMZ, for example, reports they were caught on video dancing and chatting at an invite-only bash. 

The New York Post also reported the two were seen dancing closely, while noting it’s unclear whether their connection is romantic or friendly. 

When multiple outlets are describing the same footage, it increases confidence that the interaction happened — but it still doesn’t answer the bigger question people actually care about: what the interaction means. On that, there’s no verified, on-the-record confirmation reported by PEOPLE.

Where both of them stand publicly, relationship-wise

PEOPLE notes that Earle recently split from NFL player Braxton Berrios after a two-year relationship, citing long-distance challenges. 

On Brady’s side, PEOPLE points out that he finalized his divorce from Gisele Bündchen in 2022 and was last linked to model Brooks Nader. 

Those details matter because they provide the context that makes this sighting feel like “dating news” rather than “two famous people at the same party.” But context isn’t confirmation — it’s just the backdrop that makes speculation louder.

The TikTok dad moment that fanned the flames

If the internet loves anything as much as a mystery romance, it’s a parent accidentally (or intentionally) adding gasoline to it.

PEOPLE reports that Earle’s father referenced Brady in a TikTok, jokingly acknowledging the connection between his daughter and the former quarterback. 

Does that mean they’re dating? Not necessarily. Parents tease. TikTok thrives on wink-wink humor. But in the modern celebrity ecosystem, even a joke can become “evidence” once it hits the group chat.

Brady’s public comments: focused on work and his kids

In the same PEOPLE coverage, Brady is described as saying that he prioritizes work and spending time with his children, even amid a packed Super Bowl-weekend schedule. 

That’s consistent with the image Brady has leaned into post-retirement: involved dad, busy professional, and selective about what he shares publicly. It also underscores why a few seconds of party footage can feel so significant — because he doesn’t typically offer much commentary about his private life.

So… are they dating?

Here’s the most honest answer, based on what’s been reported:

Confirmed: They were seen together at a Super Bowl weekend party, and videos show them talking and dancing. 

Also reported: This follows earlier buzz about them being close at a New Year’s Eve party in St. Barths. 

Not confirmed: Neither PEOPLE nor other mainstream reporting cited above says Brady or Earle has publicly confirmed a romantic relationship.

It’s possible they’re friends. It’s possible they’re in the same social circle. It’s possible they’re casually dating. It’s also possible the truth is less dramatic than the comments section wants it to be.

Why the “cozy” label is doing a lot of work

Entertainment headlines love a word like “cozy” because it’s suggestive without being legally committal. It signals intimacy, but it doesn’t claim a relationship. PEOPLE’s wording reflects that same careful balance: describing what’s visible in the videos, while noting that the sightings “fuel speculation” rather than delivering a definitive status update. 

And that’s the right lane for this story right now. A party moment is a party moment — until someone involved actually says otherwise.
