NFL legend Tom Brady has bid farewell to the gridiron, but he continues to stay in the limelight for various reasons. Recently, he has been making headlines for his interaction with social media personality Alix Earle.
If the rumors are indeed true, this relationship would be another example of “age doesn’t matter in love,” as Brady had already started his NFL career even before Earle was born. The age gap is significant, but how big is it? Let’s explore.
Age Difference Between Tom Brady and Alix Earle
The New Year appears to have brought someone new and special into Brady’s life, at least if the NFL world’s buzz is to be believed. Ever since fans spotted pictures and videos of the retired football player with the social media star, many have been trying to read romance into their interactions.
Brady recently celebrated New Year’s Eve in St. Barth, where he reportedly met Earle through mutual friends. The two spent time together at a New Year’s Eve party organized by the Palm Tree Crew, where they were seen laughing, dancing, and enjoying each other’s company, enough to set social media abuzz.
Adding fuel to the speculation, Brady shared a post just hours after the party that included a photo of two monks holding hands and smiling, with a caption about beautiful people. While the post could mean many things, several fans chose to believe it was directed at Earle.
“People are not beautiful for how they look or speak. They’re beautiful for how they love, care and treat others,” Brady’s post read.
Amid the rumors surrounding their relationship, many fans have been wondering about the age gap between the two. Earle, born on December 16, 2000, is 25 years old, while the retired NFL quarterback, born on August 3, 1977, is 48, resulting in a 23-year age difference between them.
Brady ended his 13-year marriage with Gisele Bündchen in 2022. The former couple share two children: daughter Vivian, 13, and son Benjamin, 16. Earle, on the other hand, revealed just a few weeks ago in a video that she had split from her NFL boyfriend, Braxton Berrios.
“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 said. “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.”
While fans may be overthinking the interaction and there maybe nothing serious between the two, it could just as easily be the start of a friendship or something that eventually turns into more. For now, the NFL world is eagerly awaiting any updates on their rumored connection.
