This was certainly not on my 2026 bingo card.

Just a few weeks ago, 7-time Super Bowl Tom Brady set the internet on fire when he was spotted partying with influencer Alix Earle at a New Year’s Eve party in St. Barths. Brady of course went through a very public split from his supermodel ex-wife Gisele Bündchen back in 2022, and a short time later Gisele went public with her relationship with her jiu-jitsu instructor Joaquim Valente.

Gisele has very much moved on, giving birth to a baby boy in February of this year, and in December 2025, Gisele and Valente officially tied the knot, getting married during a ceremony in Surfside, Florida.

All reports say Tom and Gisele were doing their best to stay cordial for the sake of their children, and the former celebrity couple have two kids – Benjamin and Vivian – and Brady has another son named Jack (from a previous relationship with Bridget Moynahan).

But considering how incredibly popular Earle is right now, and the fact that she is just 25-years-old, fans were freaking out seeing her get cozy with the NFL superstar several weeks ago:

There’s a 23-year age gap between the 25-year-old Earle and the 48-year-old retired NFL player, though she is no stranger to dating NFL athletes. She dated current Houston Texans wide receiver Braxton Berrios since March 2023, but the couple broke up in November, and Berrios is actually a former teammate of Tom Brady, being drafted by the Patriots in the sixth round of the 2018 NFL Draft.

Berrios never actually got to play with Brady on the field, because he was placed on injured reserve at the beginning of his rookie season, although he did get a Super Bowl ring when Brady led the Patriots to a win over the Los Angeles Rams in Super Bowl LIII. He was then waived by the Patriots at the beginning of the 2019 season before being picked up by the New York Jets, where he remained for four seasons before signing with the Miami Dolphins, and now the Houston Texans.

And considering Earle and Brady’s large age gap, they have drawn comparisons to former Patriots coach, the 73-year-old, Bill Belichick, and his 24-year-old cheerleader Jordon Hudson. Their 49-year age gap is more than double the gap between Brady and Earle.

So of course, the internet once again brought the jokes when Hudson posted a photo sitting in a box with Earle at Hard Rock Stadium in Miami Gardens, Florida, during last night’s college football championship game where the Indiana Hoosiers beat the Miami Hurricanes.

Earle is a proud Miami alumni, and Tom Brady was shown down on the field during parts of the game, though it’s unclear if they were together, but maybe they hung out at some point… who knows.

But Jordon was clearly in the same suite as Earle, sharing a selfie of the two of them with the caption:

“Friends from an alternate timeline.”

That’s one way to put it… the look on Alix’s face made me laugh out loud:

Alix Earle and Jordon Hudson

The internet was loving, or loving to hate, seeming them together, and my favorite comment has to be this one:

But there was plenty more where that came from…

I’m not sure Alix knew she was going to be sitting with Jordon Hudson during this whole game, but 2026 is certainly off to an interesting start…
