Brady and Earle, both single, have yet to address it.
Many, however, had a field day with it on social media.
Barstool Sports founder Dave Portnoy defended their age gap, using the hashtag “laugh love live 2026” on X.
“I’m seeing lot of negative Nancy’s commenting on the 23 year age gap between Brady and Alix Earle,” Portnoy wrote.
“Unbiased I say let them live! Age is just a number. And if you could pull Alix Earle at almost 50 you would.”
Some said Brady was following in the footsteps of his former Patriots coach, Bill Belchick.
The 73-year-old Belichick, who recently finished his first season with UNC, is dating 24-year-old Jordon Hudson, a former collegiate cheerleader at Bridgewater State University.
“Belichick approved,” one person wrote on X, including a clip of Brady and Earle in St. Barts.
In a “Get Ready With Me” TikTok video, Earle explained that she was manifesting a good night.
“We’ve been staying on a boat with a bunch of friends, but we’re going to a party tonight that’s going to be on land,” Earle said.
“… Calvin Harris is playing … The place we’re going is on the beach … I’m foreseeing really good vibes for tonight.”
Earle confirmed her split with Houston Texans return specialist Braxton Berrios after two years of dating in a tearful TikTok video on Dec. 13 amid reports that they had called it quits.
The influencer, who is a native of New Jersey, cited long distance for the reason they broke up, adding that it was an amicable decision to go their separate ways.
Earle also shut down rumors that Giants quarterback Jaxson Dart slid in her DMs in wake of the news.
Dart is dating influencer Marissa Ayers.
As for Brady, the future Hall of Fame quarterback was linked to Sports Illustrated Swimsuit model Brooks Nader last summer.
They were casually hooking up at the time, People reported at the time.
Brady and his ex-wife, Brazilian supermodel, Gisele Bündchen were together for 13 years before they finalized their divorce in October 2022.
Bündchen reportedly tied the knot with her Jiu Jitsu instructor boyfriend Joaquim Valente in an intimate ceremony in Surfside, Fla., on Dec. 3.
The couple welcomed their first child together in February.
