With rumors swirling around the relationship status of Tom Brady and Alix Earle, the latter's family seems to be getting in on the fun.

The 48-year-old NFL icon was spotted talking with the 25-year-old influencer at a yacht party in St. Barths over the New Year's Eve holiday.
As we reported last week, she flashed the NFL on FOX commentator a smile and began whispering in his ear. There's also a moment when the Hot Mess with Alix Earle podcast host moves her hand along his back. They shared a couple of laughs, yet neither has confirmed if they are together.
That didn't stop Earle's parents from dropping Brady's name in a recent clip. We have the details below.
Why Did Alix Earle's Parents Mention Tom Brady?
Ashley Earle, the mother of Alix, posted a TikTok clip over the weekend. She is seen wearing an oversized blazer with a belt. Her husband, TJ, starts to disapprove of the ensemble. As the conversation continues, it's revealed that the blazer once belonged to TJ.
"I actually got that jacket because I saw Tom Brady wearing one like that," he said.
"Are you serious?" asked Ashley.
"I swear to God," TJ replied.
The room erupts in laughter.
"You know what, hunny, you just say the darndest things," Ashley says with a smile. "How ironic is that!"
While this video was posted after the New Year's rumors and doesn't confirm or deny anything is happening between Alix and Brady, it does prove that all the attention from last week's rumors is not lost on the Earle family.
Earle Has Dated an NFL Star Before
The influencer, who finished second on the 34th season of Dancing With The Stars, had been dating Houston Texans wide receiver Braxton Berrios for two years. The couple broke up last month.
"It's just been really hard to process in general, and I think why I've been scared to say something is because I feel like it just makes it more real," Earle said. "Braxton and I are no longer together. We have been doing long distance since basically June, and we haven't gotten to see each other that often."
