According to multiple reports and videos circulating online, the 48-year-old NFL broadcaster was seemingly getting cozy with 25-year-old influencer Alix Earle in St. Barts on New Year's Eve.
Eyewitnesses claim Earle – who is recently single following the end of her two-year relationship with 30-year-old NFL player Braxton Berrios – was seen whispering in Brady's ear while affectionately caressing his back at a New Year's party.

Did Tom Brady Respond To The Dating Rumors?
Although the father-of-three – who shares daughter Vivian, 12, and son Benjamin, 15, with Gisele, and 18-year-old son Jack with Bridget Moynahan – hasn't directly addressed the rumors, he did what he does best: post something cryptic on social media.
Shortly after the New Year's Eve party, Brady shared a quote from Lil' Wayne's song "Let It All Work Out," which read: "People are not beautiful for how they look or speak. They're beautiful for how they love, care and treat others."
He followed that with a repost of a graphic featuring 99 Xs and one check mark, declaring that "a winner is a loser who tried one more time." He then added a raised-hand emoji.
Tom Brady Posted A Thirst Trap After Gisele Bündchen's Secret Wedding
The former Tampa Bay Buccaneers star has a habit of letting his feelings spill out on social media, without ever actually saying too much.
Shortly after news of the Nourish author's wedding to Valente broke, Brady shared a series of Instagram photos that many fans interpreted as a subtle response. One showed him flexing his pecs in a tight black T-shirt and matching shorts with the caption "LFG" – short for "Let's [expletive] Go."
He also posted another photo wearing a white hoodie emblazoned with the words "Forever Young," captioning the snap with an equally cryptic: "Yuppppppp 100."
Tom Brady Is Reportedly 'Mature' About Gisele's Marriage And Is 'Happy That She's Happy'
Despite the aforementioned posts, it seems like the football star wasn't completely blindsided by the marriage, as an insider told the Daily Mail that he was in fact told about it beforehand. "It wasn't a secret to him," the source reportedly said.
"They still have to talk because of the kids, and though that is often very brief, important milestones, schedules, and of course her getting married was something she wasn't going to keep secret," they continued.
The source also went on to say that he is actually happy for his ex-wife, and hopes that she will also be happy for him if and when the time for him to remarry comes. "He's happy in the way that is simple: he's happy that she is happy. Down the line he might get married again and he would want her to be OK with that, so he has to be OK about it. If he was upset, that would mean he still has feelings for her and that it would be unfair to the kids if he didn't want to see their mom happy and move on."
They added: "He's had to move on from two different important relationships, and two mothers to his children. He's learned a lot along the way, and he's taking this next stage in stride. He's being very mature about it and not letting it pick at him negatively in any way."
