Alix Earle opens up about age-gap dating after Tom Brady speculation

Alix Earle just seemingly referenced her dating preferences in a new interview, months after rumours linked her to NFL star Tom Brady.

Speaking on a recent episode of her YouTube series Get Real with Me, the 25-year-old influencer discussed relationships and her attraction to older men, without directly confirming any specific romance.

"As you age, you realise people aren't supposed to act like that," said fellow influencer Quenlin Blackwell, also 25, who later added, "I don't date guys my age."

Earle then admitted she recently tried dating someone closer to her own age but said the experience did not work for her.

"I went on a date with a guy who was a year older than me. I can't do it again," Earle said. "That's never happening".

"Did you feel like you were mothering?" Blackwell asked of Earle courting a man in her age range.

Earle agreed that the dynamic felt off and suggested she prefers partners who feel more grounded and experienced.

"It didn't feel like I was with, like, a man," she said, before admitting that she wants "someone to take care of [her]."

She also joked that her preference for older men sometimes swings too far in the opposite direction, jokingly adding that she ends up thinking, “Grandpa,” when the age gap becomes too large.

Despite that, she said she values confidence, life experience, and emotional stability in a partner.

Earle recently reunited with former boyfriend Braxton Berrios, with whom she previously had a two-year relationship that ended in late 2025.

Before that, Earle was linked to Brady after they were seen together at several major events, including a New Year’s Eve gathering in St. Barths and Super Bowl weekend earlier this year.

Reports at the time suggested the two had been casually involved, though neither publicly confirmed a relationship. Earle and Brady have not been seen together recently.
