NFL legend Tom Brady and his former coach Bill Belichick share a bond that goes way beyond their years in New England, and that connection just showed up in a surprising new way. Recent rumors suggested that Brady has been dating social media influencer Alix Earle. And while there has been no confirmation of their relationship, Bill Belichick’s girlfriend, Jordon Hudson, just dropped a personal update, and Earle was part of it.

In her recent Instagram Story, Jordan Hudson posted a selfie featuring Alix Earle from the stands at the CFP National Championship Game. In the photo, Hudson sat on the left wearing a grey top and smiled straight at the camera. On the right, Earle wore a green top, leaned in, and smiled back. Hudson and Earle looked game-day ready as a screen showed the action in the background.

“Friend from an alternate timeline,” Jordan Hudson wrote playfully in the caption.

Jordan Hudson did not confirm whether Alix Earle is Tom Brady’s girlfriend in the story. But the timing and the caption hint at a friendship formed between Hudson and Earle. Interestingly, neither of them was without their partner at the CFP National Championship game.

With North Carolina’s season over, the team’s coach, Bill Belichick, also showed up at the CFP title game at Hard Rock Stadium. He joined ESPN for a bit, and then he settled in to watch the Indiana Hoosiers vs. Miami Hurricanes game while enjoying a drink. 

Meanwhile, Las Vegas Raiders owners Mark Davis and Tom Brady, along with GM John Spytek, also attended the CFP National Championship game. Brady likely had business reasons to be in attendance. Las Vegas holds the No. 1 draft pick, and Indiana quarterback Fernando Mendoza could be the one that Brady’s team picks. 

Interestingly, while Alix Earle watched the game from a suite, she wore a green jersey in support of Miami and not Indiana. Earle is a University of Miami alum, so that part makes sense, unlike her sudden link to Jordan Hudson. But maybe their connection isn’t that random.

Hudson and Earle might have bonded over their shared experience of being in an age-gap relationship. While Hudson is a 24-year-old former cheerleader, she is currently dating 73-year-old Belichick. That age gap is even bigger than the one in the rumored relationship between 48-year-old Brady and 25-year-old Earle. 

Is Tom Brady actually dating Alix Earle?

A few days earlier, videos showed Tom Brady and Alix Earle celebrating New Year’s Eve together. In the clips, Earle rubbed Brady’s back while they talked, and Brady responded by placing his hand on her lower back. It was a moment that could be interpreted as more than just a friendly interaction between Brady and Earle. 

The timing fueled the rumors even more because Alix Earle had just split from Houston Texans player Braxton Berrios. But then there’s Earle’s own words from a resurfaced 2023 interview, in which she explained her dating mindset.

“I’m just dating around, having fun. Nothing serious,” Alix Earle said. 

Earle’s statement did not exactly indicate that she is looking for a locked-in relationship. And let’s be honest, Brady doesn’t seem to be in a rush to enter another serious relationship either. After his very public divorce from Gisele Bündchen in 2022, he has made his priorities pretty clear.

“You know what? I don’t have much time for a personal life or much time for myself, but I love working, and I love my kids,” Tom Brady said recently in an interview with People. 

So, currently, Tom Brady seems focused on his three kids – Vivian, Benjamin, and Jack, and on his work as a FOX Sports announcer and minority owner of the Raiders. Alix Earle, meanwhile, is busy building her new venture with Hot Mess Media. But, while a relationship might not be the first thing on both Brady and Earle’s minds, Earle’s latest appearance with Jordan Love hints at a developing relationship.
